Composite element model for the bonded anchorage head of stranded wire cable in tension 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
An elasto‐viscoplastic model is formulated using composite element technique for the bonded anchorage head of stranded wire cable in rock mass. This composite element contains sub‐elements corresponding to the rock material, the grout material, the stranded wire material, the rock/grout interface, and the grout/stranded wire interface, respectively. The displacement in each aforementioned sub‐element is interpolated from the corresponding nodal displacements of the composite element. In this manner, the mesh generation taking into account of tension cable anchors may be highly facilitated. By the application of the virtual work principle, the governing equation for solving the nodal displacements of the composite element is established. The proposed model has been incorporated into the conventional finite element algorithm and implemented in the program CORE3, in which the anchorage head is embedded within the composite elements. The comparative study concerning the pull‐out test has been carried out for the validation of the proposed model and algorithm. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The Mahoning River is one of the five most contaminated rivers in the U.S. This study characterized the contaminated sediments in the river banks and investigated the hydraulic interconnection between shallow aquifer in the banks with the river water. The study was conducted along the most polluted section of the river, which is 50-km long, using over 50 monitoring wells. The characterization part of the study investigated the sedimentology, hydraulic conductivity, and spatial distribution of the contaminated sediments. Results of the characterization revealed that the contaminated sediments consist of fine-grained sand, silt, mud, and clay. The spatial distribution of the contaminated sediment is heterogeneous and positively correlates with the hydraulic conductivity values, i.e., the greatest contamination occurs in high conductivity areas. Hydraulic conductivity was determined by the Hazen formula using 82 sediment samples. Bioremediation, which is one of the remedial options considered for the banks, is found to be hydraulically feasible because of sufficient hydraulic conductivity values (≥10?4 cm/s) that ensure reasonable rates of nutrient delivery. Monitoring of water levels in the river and groundwater for a 10-month period shows that flow occurs from the river to groundwater and vice versa. The exchange of flow is influenced by rainfall. Flow of groundwater to the river will continually transport the dissolved contaminants in groundwater to the river. Therefore, findings of this study show that one of the remedial options that proposes dredging of channel sediments and permits no action for bank sediments cannot be chosen due to river water–groundwater interactions. 相似文献

As a neural network provides a non-linear function mapping of a set of input variables into the corresponding network output,
without the requirement of having to specify the actual mathematical form of the relation between the input and output variables,
it has the versatility for modeling a wide range of complex non-linear phenomena. In this study, groundwater contamination
by nitrate, the ANNs are applied as a new type of model to estimate the nitrate contamination of the Gaza Strip aquifer. A
set of six explanatory variables for 139 sampled wells was used and that have a significant influence were identified by using
ANN model. The Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP), Radial Basis Function (RBF), Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN), and Linear Networks were used. The best network found to simulate Nitrate
was MLP with six input nodes and four hidden nodes. The input variables are: nitrogen load, housing density in 500-m radius
area surrounding wells, well depth, screen length, well discharge, and infiltration rate. The best network found had good
performance (regression ratio 0.2158, correlation 0.9773, and error 8.4322). Bivariate statistical test also were used and
resulting in considerable unexplained variation in nitrate concentration. Based on ANN model, groundwater contamination by
nitrate depends not on any single factor but on the combination of them. 相似文献

This paper presents the formulation and verification of a 3D embedded beam element, which is intended for numerical modelling of three dimensional problems concerned by reinforced geomaterials. This element permits analysis of reinforced geomaterial structures with simplified meshes, that do not need to account for reinforcement orientation. The paper is composed of four sections. Section 1 discusses the need for the development of a particular beam element for soil reinforcement, which can be easily used in practical applications. Section 2 describes the mathematical formulation of this element, while Section 3 deals with its verification on various examples. Section 4 illustrates an application of this element by analysing the behaviour of a group of micropiles containing inclined elements and subjected to lateral loading.

Since landfill operations ceased in the early 1980s at the Woodlawn landfill Superfund site in northeastern Maryland, USA,
the carcinogen vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) has persisted in the site ground water at concentrations in places greater than
100 ppb. Investigations of VCM concentrations from monitoring well data from 1981 through 1991, which were published in 2001,
concluded that concentrations were cyclic and were not dissipating. Data from 1991 to 2000 confirm VCM persistence, showing
concentration peaks as late as 1997 in the eastern part of the site. These values are significantly above both drinking water
standards (>MCL of 2 ppb) and lifetime excess cancer risk (E-6 risk level) from exposure since birth (>0.024 ppb). Sources
for VCM are landfill wastes (PVC-sludge) and effluent from an on-site transfer station. In addition to direct release of VCM
from wastes, other chlorinated hydrocarbons, trichloroethene and perchloroethene (TCE and PCE) are also present in the ground
water, and these compounds can degrade into VCM. Persistence of VCM concentrations is the result of leachate generation, mostly
from multi-source wastes in the vadose zone, with subsequent infiltration into the regional aquifer. Increases in VCM concentrations
(new leachate generation) alternated with decreases in VCM concentrations (infiltration without leachate) in a cyclic fashion,
during this 20-year period. 相似文献

Three-dimensional finite element analysis of the seismic behavior of inclined micropiles 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This paper presents a thorough study of the behavior of inclined micropiles under seismic loading. Analysis is carried out using a full three-dimensional finite element modeling. The soil media is assumed to be elastic with Rayleigh damping, while micropiles are modeled as 3D elastic beam elements. The structure is described by a single degree of freedom system composed of a concentrated mass and a column. The paper is composed of four parts. The first part includes a literature survey on the behavior of inclined micropiles. The second part presents the numerical model used in this study. The third part concerns analysis related to the influence of micropiles inclination on the seismic behavior of a group of micropiles embedded in a homogeneous soil with a uniform stiffness. The last part deals with the seismic behavior of inclined micropiles embedded in a soil layer with a depth-based increasing stiffness. The results of this study provide valuable information about the influence of micropiles inclination on dynamic amplification and on the seismic-induced internal forces in micropiles. 相似文献
