Factors Affecting Consolidation Related Prediction of Singapore Marine Clay by Observational Methods
The use of prefabricated vertical drains with preloading option is the most widely-used ground improvement method for the
improvement of marine clays in land reclamation projects. The assessment of the degree of consolidation of the marine clay
is of paramount importance prior to the removal of preload in such ground improvement projects. This analysis can be carried
out by means of observational methods with the use of field settlement plates and piezometer monitoring. Field settlement
monitoring data can be used to ascertain the settlement of the reclaimed fill from the time of initial installation. The field
settlement data can be analysed by the Asaoka method to predict the ultimate settlement of the reclaimed land under the surcharge
fill. Back-analysis of the field settlement data will enable the coefficient of consolidation due to horizontal flow to be
closely estimated. Piezometer monitoring data can be analysed to obtain the degree of consolidation of the improved marine
clay. Back-analysis of the piezometer data will also enable the coefficient of consolidation due to horizontal flow to be
estimated. The aim of this paper is to highlight the significance and impact of the various factors that affect prediction
by the Asaoka and piezometer assessment methods. The authors findings of the Asaoka method reveal that the magnitude of ultimate
settlement decreases and the degree of consolidation subsequently increases as a longer period of assessment is used in the
prediction. The degree of consolidation predicted by the piezometers is found to be in good agreement with the Asaoka method
for the early period of assessment. However as the assessment period increases, the piezometer indicates lower degree of consolidation
as compared to field settlement predictions. 相似文献

Characteristics of Singapore Marine Clay at Changi 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
Singapore marine clay at Changi is a quartenary deposit that lies within valleys cut in the Old Alluvium. It is locally known
as Kallang formation. The pre-reclamation site characterization and laboratory testing was carried out by conducting marine
sampling boreholes, in situ dissipation tests and field vane test. In situ dissipation tests were conducted with the piezocone,
flat dilatometer, self-boring pressuremeter and BAT permeameter. The purpose of the site characterization was to determine
the consolidation characteristics, strength characteristics, stratigraphy, and mineralogy of Singapore marine clay. The consolidation
properties of marine clay are required prior to land reclamation activities in order to predict the magnitude and rates of
settlement with the expected fill load and future service load as well as for the design of soil improvement works. The shear
strength properties are required for slope stability analyses during reclamation and for the stability analyses of shore protection
works. Clay mineralogy tests and photographic identification of the marine clay was carried out to determine the mineralogical
properties and to visually record the marine clay colour and texture. 相似文献

In situ dissipation tests provide a means of evaluating the in situ coefficient of horizontal consolidation and horizontal
hydraulic conductivity of soft clays. Dissipation tests by means of piezocone (CPTU), dilatometer (DMT), self-boring pressuremeter
(SBPT) and BAT permeameter (BAT) were utilized in the characterization of the coefficient of horizontal consolidation and
horizontal hydraulic conductivity of Singapore marine clay at Changi in a land reclamation project. Dissipation tests were
carried out prior to reclamation as well as after ground improvement with vertical drains to compare the changes in the coefficient
of horizontal consolidation and horizontal hydraulic conductivity prior to and after ground improvement. Tests were carried
out in a vertical drain area as well as in an adjacent untreated control area after 23 months of surcharge loading, for comparison
purposes. The purpose of this research is to determine the horizontal consolidation parameters of Singapore marine clay prior
to reclamation as well as after 23 months of surcharge loading with and without vertical drains by means of in situ dissipation
tests. 相似文献

大连滨海粉质黏土剪切力学特性环剪试验 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
以大连滨海地区典型粉质黏土为研究对象,利用大型高速环剪仪,针对不同法向应力和剪切速率条件下该粉质黏土大剪切力学性质的变化情况进行了试验。环剪试验结果显示:1)该滨海粉质黏土在正常固结状态下出现明显的应变软化现象,分析表明其应变软化特性主要与土中黏土矿物质量分数及其在剪切过程中的定向排列有关。2)在相同剪切速率下,峰值强度和残余强度随法向应力的增加而增大,峰值强度与法向应力之间表现出良好的线性关系。3)由于峰值强度产生过程中土体内部黏聚力的变化,峰值强度随剪切速率的增加而增大;残余强度变化与剪切速率具有一定的相关性,这与不同剪切速率下剪切带(面)处黏土颗粒定向排列程度不同有关。 相似文献

In ground improvement projects with prefabricated vertical drains, the duration of the preloading period is set in advance
based on the predetermined time rate of consolidation of the compressible layer. If prediction is accurately done, the required
degree of consolidation is met at the pre-determined preloading time. As such, there is a requirement for in-situ tests to be carried out just prior to the removal of surcharge to assess the degree of consolidation of the improved ground.
In-situ tests were carried out after 23 months of surcharge loading at the In-Situ Test Site within the Changi East Reclamation Project in the Republic of Singapore. In-situ testing works in this research study comprises the use of field vane shear, piezocone, flat dilatometer and self-boring pressuremeter.
The in-situ tests were carried out to determine the shear strength and degree of consolidation of the Singapore marine clay at Changi
after 23 months of surcharge loading. The In-Situ Test Site consisted of a Vertical Drain Area as well as an untreated Control Area. Both areas were located adjacent to each
other and were surcharged simultaneously to the same level and surcharge left in place for a period of 23 months. Comparison
was made between the in-situ test results of the Vertical Drain Area and the untreated Control Area. 相似文献

Appropriate evaluation of shear modulus and damping characteristics of soils subjected to dynamic loading is key to accurate
seismic response analysis and soil modeling programs. Dynamic centrifuge experiments were conducted at C-CORE (Memorial University
of Newfoundland) centrifuge center to investigate the dynamic properties and seismic response of soft clay and dry loose sand
strata. Soft clay with shear strength of about 30 kPa and well graded silica sand at about 35% relative density were employed
in a rigid container to simulate local site effects. Several earthquake-like shaking events were applied to the model to evaluate
variation of shear modulus and damping ratio with shear strain amplitude and confining pressure, and to assess their effects
on site response. The estimated modulus reduction and damping ratio were compared to the predictions of empirical formulae
and resonant column tests for both soft clay and loose sand. The evaluated shear modulus and damping ratio were found to be
dependent on confining pressure in both soil types. Modulus variation in both soils agreed well with the empirical curves
and resonant column test results. However, the sand modulus values were slightly higher than the empirical relations and resonant
column tests. This discrepancy is attributed to higher stress and densification of sand during large amplitude shaking applied
to the model. The damping ratio at shear strains lower than 0.5% was in reasonable agreement with the empirical curves and
the resonant column tests in both clay and sand models, but was generally higher at shear strain larger than 0.5%. 相似文献

Knowledge about the marine sediment acoustic properties is a key to understanding wave propagation in sediments and is very important for military oceanography and ocean engineering. We developed a hydraulic-drived self-contained in situ sediment acoustic measurement system, and measured for the first time the in situ acoustic properties of sediments on 78 stations in the Yellow Sea, China, by employing this system. The relationships between the in situ measured acoustic properties and the onboard or laboratory determined geotechnical parameters were analyzed. Porosity was found to be the dominant factor in reducing velocity in a quadratic fashion; velocity showed an increment with bulk density and a decrement with mean grain size and clay content both with a nonlinear dependence; acoustic attenuation showed a bell-shaped correlation with porosity and mean grain size but reduced with clay content of the sediments. The attenuation results indicate that intergrain friction rather than viscous interactions between pore fluid and solid grains is the dominant loss mechanism in our marine sediments. The relationships established would be used to predict the geotechnical parameters from in situ measured acoustic properties and vice versa, as well as being an indicator of the seafloor processes, potential gas bubbles hazard and gas hydrates resources or other suitable targets of acoustic surveys. 相似文献

在高黏粒含量海洋土中,黏粒吸附孔液中阳离子形成的双电层会直接影响土体导电性,与孔液、土体结构共同形成土体导电性的影响因素,使导电结构变得复杂。对饱和的海洋土而言,固结程度不同代表了土体结构不同。为量化分析双电层对不同固结程度高黏粒含量海洋土导电性的影响,界定电阻率测试技术对海洋土结构变化的反映能力,分别以黄河三角洲和南海北部陆坡海洋土为研究对象,进行电阻率和其他物理性质测试。基于测试结果分析不同黏粒含量海洋土电阻率的变化规律和独有特征,借鉴黏性土多元导电理论构建适合的电阻率模型。研究表明,黏粒含量对不同固结程度海洋土电阻率的影响不同,根据其变化特征可分为3个阶段:正常固结的海洋土电阻率变化可用简化的二元模型公式表示,当孔隙度小于50%时,电阻率随孔隙度呈明显的幂函数降低,当孔隙度介于50%~60%时,电阻率随孔隙度降低速率明显减小;欠固结海洋土孔隙度均高于60%,电阻率随孔隙度线性减小,可用线性模型公式描述。电阻率测量技术对高黏粒含量正常固结海洋土结构变化(孔隙度变化)反映能力良好,探测灵敏度可达25 Ω·m;对欠固结海洋土结构变化反映困难。 相似文献
