基于光纤传感及数字图像测试的管-土相互作用试验研究

我国城市化、工业化进程对地下管线的依赖性和需求越来越强,但是近年来相关的重大安全事故频发,亟待加强对管道破坏机理及管-土相互作用的研究。本文基于准分布式光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)技术,在室内开展了一系列平面应变模型试验,利用光纤应变传感器监测了地表加载作用下埋地管道的受力变形特征,据此提出了由应变测值反演管周土压力的计算方法;同时,利用粒子图像测速(PIV)技术获取了管道周边土体的变形规律,并和光纤监测结果进行了对比分析。试验结果表明:采用FBG传感技术,可以有效获取管周土压力分布及土体应变的演化过程;不同埋深率情况下管周土体的变形破坏模式有较大的不同,土拱效应随管道埋深增大而变得更加显著。相关结论为进一步认识埋地管道的灾变机理、提高监测预警水平,提供了一定的参考。     

Performance of steel-reinforced high-density polyethylene pipes in soil during installation: a numerical study

Steel-reinforced high-density polyethylene (SRHDPE) pipe combines the advantages of the HDPE and steel pipes with good corrosion resistance and relative high load carrying capacity. However, no widely accepted method is available for design of SRHDPE pipes. The objective of this study is to evaluate effects of several key influence factors on performance of SRHDPE pipes in soil during the installation to facilitate future development of a design method for the SRHDPE pipes. To achieve this objective, a numerical study was conducted to investigate the effects of soil cover thickness, trench width, magnitude of compaction pressure, and friction angle of backfill on the performance of SRHDPE pipes during their installation. Numerical results indicate: (1) pipe peaking deflections increased with an increase in the soil cover thickness, the trench width, and the magnitude of the compaction pressure; (2) the friction angle of the backfill material had an insignificant effect on the pipe deflection; (3) the lateral earth pressure coefficient at the springline of the pipe was approximately 0.65 during the installation; (4) the vertical arching factors at the top of pipes in all cases were greater than 1.0, which means a negative soil arching effect occurring in the soil cover during the pipe installation; and (5) the location and magnitude of the maximum bending moment changed with the elevation of the backfill during the installation.

     

橡胶-粉土轻质混合土中管道动力响应特性

埋地管道在交通荷载等作用下会发生破坏,对区域内的经济和生活造成较大的影响。近年来废弃橡胶轮胎颗粒与土混合成轻质土逐渐被用于路基填料等领域。设计完成了冲击动载下橡胶-粉土轻质混合土中管道动力响应特性的模型试验,采用等体积置换法在地基土中掺入0%、10%、20%、30%的废轮胎颗粒,通过路基的表层沉降以及埋地管道的变形特性来研究轻质混合土作为路基填料的减振性能。试验结果表明,加入橡胶颗粒能有效减小路基表层沉降,当橡胶含量10%时,路基沉降减小最明显;埋地管道在冲击动载的作用下表现出"压扁"的形态特征,加入橡胶颗粒能明显减小埋地管道的应变及弯矩响应,当橡胶含量为20%和30%时,管道的应变和弯矩减小更为明显。     

浅埋管道水平横向作用下砂土极限承载力研究

断层、滑坡、液化等地质灾害引起的场地大变形对埋地管道结构安全产生严重的威胁。开展了中密砂中埋地管道−砂土水平横向相互作用的系列三维数值模拟,根据数值模拟的结果探讨了不同深径比下管−砂土横向相互作用时土体的破坏模式,研究了深径比对砂土极限承载力的影响。基于管周土体的破坏模式建立了简化计算模型,根据极限平衡理论推导了管道水平横向运动时砂土极限承载力计算公式。研究结果表明：极限状态下,浅埋管道周围土体形成延伸到地表的破裂面,轮廓线近似对数螺线;砂土的极限承载力随着深径比增加,最终在临界深径比处达到稳定;随着深径比的增加,土体发生剪切滑动破坏所需的管道位移也逐渐增大;由于横向承载力系数取值依据不同,国内外规范计算所得土体极限承载力差异较大;得到的解析解能够较好地预测中密砂土中浅埋管道水平横向运动时土体的极限承载力。     

A constitutive model for sand based on non-linear elasticity and the state parameter

The paper describes the development of a constitutive model for a poorly graded sand, which was used in geotechnical experiments on buried pipes (reported elsewhere). The sand was tested extensively in the laboratory to determine the state parameter constants. Triaxial tests on the sand included conventional drained triaxial compression tests, as well as more specialized shearing tests at constant mean effective stress and others at constant volume. Single element simulation of the triaxial tests was performed to validate the proposed constitutive model. The adopted model allowed non-linear elastic behaviour prior to yielding. After yielding of the sand, the state parameter-based model for the sand permitted non-associated plastic flow. Dilation and frictional strength were both dependent on the current value of the state parameter. The combination of laboratory testing and single element modelling resulted in the selection of a single set of material constants for the soil, which adequately described the full range of triaxial tests. Subsequently the model was applied to the problem of a plate loading test on the sand and the model predictions were compared with the test data.

A Modified Mohr-Coulomb Model to Simulate the Behavior of Pipelines in Unsaturated Soils

At the present time, it is very common in practice to utilize Mohr-Coulomb model to simulate the soil behaviour in the application of soil-pipeline interaction problems. However, the traditional Mohr-Coulomb model is unable to predict the realistic loading that can apply on buried pipes during large ground deformation. Especially, the linear elastic-perfectly plastic Mohr-Coulomb model is not capable of simulating the unsaturated soil loading which can result larger than anticipated loading due to suction induced additional normal force between the soil particles. A user defined unsaturated modified Mohr-Coulomb model is developed within a generalized effective stress framework considering suction hardening effects to capture the realistic loading induced by unsaturated soil medium. Firstly, the model has been developed considering microscopic and macroscopic suction hardening mechanisms, and was implemented into a commercial finite element program associated with user subroutine written in FORTAN. Then the model was validated through a series of unsaturated triaxial compression tests conducted on the basis of different sand types having various initial conditions. Finally, the model has been applied to simulate the behaviour of pipelines subjected to lateral soil loading in unsaturated soils. The results revealed that the modified Mohr-Coulomb model has reasonable predictions when compared to the load-displacement response of pipes obtained from two large scale testing programs. The developed model can be used to predict the increased strength and stiffness associated with soil suction that increases lateral loads on pipelines, and thus has widespread relevance for simulating the pipeline response in unsaturated soils under externally imposed ground movement.     

地埋非圆形管道与土相互作用的分析计算

对地埋箱形涵道和蛋形管道结构的设计计算,现行的方法是给定作用荷载值和分布,按结构力学方法求解。实际上作用于管道上荷载是随管土的相对刚度而变化的。为此,采用管土相互作用的Winkler模型和传递矩阵法,提出地埋箱形和蛋形管道结构计算的新方法。通过对箱形和蛋形管道与土相互作用的分析计算表明,即使是“刚性”的箱形管道也应考虑与土的相互作用。最后讨论了模型参数、埋深以及管道结构尺寸的变化对管道受力与变形的影响,说明了考虑地埋管道与土的相互作用,对地埋箱形和蛋形管道结构的设计计算才更符合实际。     

Mechanical characteristics and particle breakage of coral sand under one-dimensional repeated loading

Coral sand, which is an important filler resource in coastal areas, is continuously subjected to repeated waves or traffic loading. In this study, a series of oedometer tests are conducted on coral sand and silica sand under repeated loading, and the results are compared. The influence of the initial density and number and amplitude of repeated loading on the volumetric deformation, soil stiffness, and particle breakage are investigated. The results reveal that the volumetric deformation and particle breakage of coral sand mainly occur in the first loading stage and increase by increasing loading amplitude and reducing initial density. Compared to silica sand, the soil stiffness is lower and volumetric deformation is greater in coral sand during the initial loading stage. However, the opposite trend is observed for the subsequent loading. Finally, three power functions are proposed to predict the volumetric deformation and particle breakage of coral sand under repeated loading.

     

Ovalization of steel energy pipelines buried in saturated sands during ground deformations

Cross-sectional ovalization of buried steel pipes subjected to bending moment induced by end displacements is discussed. A three dimensional finite element analysis was conducted employing Abaqus/CAE. The pipe was simulated using 3D shell elements while the saturated sand soil medium was simulated by employing discrete nonlinear springs along the pipeline. The effects of normalized burial depth (H/D), diameter to wall thickness ratio (D/t), sand density and level of the internal pressure on the ovalization are investigated, and resulting ovalization distribution with respect to bending moment at critical sections is presented. The results of this study enable simple one dimensional finite element models to consider geometrical cross-sectional nonlinearities in the analysis of buried pipelines.

Reliability analysis of shallow foundation in the vicinity of the existing buried conduit

ABSTRACT

The present study proposes reliability-based approach for assessing the performance of shallow foundation placed in the vicinity of an existing buried flexible pipe or utility tunnel. Performance function for the reliability analysis is defined in terms of % bearing capacity loss in the load carrying capacity of the shallow foundation due to the presence of buried flexible pipe or utility tunnel, and, allowable bearing capacity loss in load carrying capacity that can be tolerated. For the reliability analysis, an explicit functional relationship between input variables, such as geotechnical parameters of in situ soil as well as material properties of pipe, and, output response, i.e. % bearing capacity loss in load carrying capacity of foundation soil is needed. Using concept of response surface methodology (RSM) combined with the results of the numerical analysis; such an explicit functional relationship is easily established. Thereafter, reliability analysis can be performed, conveniently, using standard First Order Second Moment (FOSM) approach and performance of the foundation soil system with buried flexible pipe, present in the vicinity, can be assessed in terms of an index, popularly known as ‘reliability index (β)’.     

Analysis of development and depth of backward erosion pipes in the presence of a coarse sand barrier

Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a failure mechanism that can affect the safety of water-retaining structures. It can occur when a local anomaly on the downstream side of an embankment causes a concentration of seepage flow at that location. Shallow pipes may then form, progressing in the upstream direction and leading to a collapse of the water-retaining structure. A novel and economically appealing measure against BEP is the coarse sand barrier (CSB), which is now being developed in a multiscale experimental programme in the Netherlands. The method involves placing a trench filled with coarse sand below the blanket layer on the downstream side of the embankment. The CSB prevents the upstream progression of the pipe and significantly enhances resistance to BEP. This paper presents medium-scale laboratory tests involving a range of sands, barrier depths and relative densities. The piping process and the observations of pipe progression in the presence of a CSB are presented, followed by a conceptual model. The presence of a CSB changed the erosion pattern. It resulted in pipe formation perpendicular to the flow direction over the entire width of the barrier before the barrier was damaged. The findings also demonstrate the effect of material properties on pipe initiation, progression and pipe depth. Measurements of the pipe depth are presented and analysed, revealing the significance of pipe depth for understanding the piping process. This analysis shows considerable erosion in the downstream background sand and demonstrates that erosion profiles and measured pipe depths are significantly larger than in BEP tests without a CSB.

     

顶管施工对邻近地下管线的影响预测分析

采用通用Peck公式计算顶管施工引起的地下管线平面处的土体竖向位移。对地下管线的受力模型进行简化,基于Winkler地基模型,得到地下管线由于顶管开挖引起的极限弯矩、理论弯矩以及管线变形的计算方法。通过算例分析,与连续弹性解、Attewell解和王涛解的计算结果进行比较,探讨了土质条件、管线材质、管线埋深、管线管径对地下管线受力的影响。计算结果表明,本方法适用于各种土质,可较好地预估管线所受弯矩,且不会低估管线所受的最大弯矩;在相同条件下,管线埋深越大承受的弯矩也越大,但埋深仅对最大正弯矩和最大负弯矩位置附近处的管线影响较大,对其余部位影响较小;管线抗弯刚度越大,管线承受的极限弯矩和影响范围也越大;管线管径越大,管线承受的弯矩也越大。     

黄土地区水平荷载作用下闭合型地下连续墙基础承载 性状分析

地下连续墙基础相对于一般桩基础的一个显著特点就是整体刚度大,水平荷载作用下基础一般有两种工作状态和破坏机理:其一是刚性短桩,表现为转动或平移破坏;其二是弹性长桩,表现为挠曲破坏。数值模拟表明:在一定范围内随着墙体埋深的增加,在大小相等的水平荷载作用下,基础埋深越大,其水平位移则越小。但埋深超过30m后,墙体埋深对基础的水平变形影响变得不显著。即当闭合墙体的埋深超过一定深度后,过分的加大闭合墙体的埋深无助于提高基础的水平承载性能。     

An oil sand pseudo-elastic model for determining ground deformation under large mobile mining equipment

Strain softening of oil sand under dynamic loading from large mining equipment inhibits the ability of the equipment to function at optimal design performance. This paper looks at the findings of dynamic plate load tests, which effectively mimick the loading and unloading action of a shovel track pad. A pseudo-elastic model was proposed based on the results of the dynamic plate load testing to predict the deformation of oil sand under cyclic loading. Both field and laboratory cyclic plate load tests were performed on oil sand materials. The field tests were performed with different plate sizes, or footprints. The load was normalized based on the pressure stiffness concept in units of pressure per unit deformation. FLAC was used to model the field plate load test deformation with the elastic concept. The laboratory tests were performed at room temperature with more control on the load, loading rate, and cycles than possible during the field testing. Tests were conducted using a circular plate of 14.9 cm diameter, at stress magnitudes of 200, 400, 500 and 600 kPa. The plate load tests were conducted for varying loads, holding, and relaxation times of 0, 2, 5 and 10 min respectively for each magnitude of stress. The outcome of laboratory plate load tests show that after frequent cycles, the pressure stiffness (ratio of stress to deformation) converges on a plateau value of 8 kPa/mm. The proposed approach can be used to evaluate oil sands ground performance, enhancing the prediction process for ground deformation under the operation of ultra-class mining equipment.     

Numerical analysis of an experimental pipe buried in swelling soil

This paper investigates the pipe–soil interaction for pipes buried in expansive soil when subjected to swelling soil movement due to increase in moisture content. A laboratory experiment has been undertaken on a plastic pipe in a large-scale pipe box. A three dimensional numerical model is developed to analyse the pipe response, using FLAC^3D computer program. The pipe is assumed to behave as a linearly elastic material, while the soil is modelled as a nonlinear material with Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion. The water flow and soil/pipe deformations are decoupled, where water flow is calculated using simplified capillary rise theory on the basis of measurements made. A reasonably good agreement between the experimental results and model predictions is reported.     

珊瑚礁地层中PHC桩原位静载试验研究

珊瑚地层是钙质砂和礁灰岩的统称。在珊瑚地层中开展预应力高强度混凝土管桩（PHC桩）的原位堆载测试,分析了桩?珊瑚地质的相互作用规律。采用光纤光栅传感技术采集加载过程中的试桩桩身应变,由计算获取桩身轴力,分析加载过程中珊瑚地层中PHC桩基础的承载特性。试验结果表明,（1）桩?土响应处于线弹性阶段;（2）桩的承载发挥状态与入土深度显著相关,且入土深度超过15倍桩径时桩端阻力发挥峰值;（3）桩的安装方式几乎不影响其在珊瑚地层中的承载性能,但贯入能量的大小则显著影响;（4）入土深度和贯入能量的大小,影响珊瑚地质的破碎程度,颗粒破碎显著影响珊瑚地质中桩的承载发挥特性。通过原位测试可知在珊瑚地质中在贯入深度在15倍桩径以内,入土深度与桩端阻力正相关,与桩侧摩阻力反相关。
