A new criterion for strength of frozen sand under quick triaxial compression considering effect of confining pressure

The strength of frozen soils has been one of the most extensively studied aspects in frozen soil mechanics. When carrying out deep excavations using freezing methods, high stress states are often encountered. Therefore, the strength of frozen soils under high confining pressures is of major concern. This paper first reviews the present failure criteria for frozen soils, especially with regard to the effect of confining pressure on the strength. It is suggested that the strength consists of two components, cohesion and friction, and can be expressed by the Mohr–Coulomb criterion and in the framework of the Drucker–Prager criterion. However, these two components are both dependent on the stress state. Duncan’s equation for the friction angle is extended to frozen soils. A frozen Lanzhou fine sand is taken as study subject. The frozen sand is compressed at a high strain rate under three different temperatures and under a wide range of confining pressure. Experimental results have confirmed the generally recognized principle that the strength increases with the confining pressure up to certain value. Thereafter, it decreases with continued increase in confining pressure. Experimental data from our own tests and literature are fitted to the new criterion, which shows its validity.

基于点稳定系数法的斜坡稳定性分析

基于莫尔-库伦强度理论构架,界定了点稳定系数的概念,并推导其计算公式。利用Geostudio软件建立了均质斜坡模型及计算其应力分布,并在此基础上结合MATLAB软件计算斜坡模型中各点的点稳定系数,勾绘出斜坡体内不同稳定度区域,探析了斜坡稳定性,并与传统极限平衡法进行了对比。对比结果表明:对直立斜坡,两种方法的计算结果均为不稳定,但点稳定性系数法勾绘出坡脚及坡脚底部存在两处不稳定区域;对60°斜坡,点稳定系数法的计算结果表明坡脚处存在潜在不稳定区域,而极限平衡法的计算结果表明坡体处于稳定状态;对45°斜坡,两种方法的计算结果均为稳定,计算结果一致。进一步分析得到结论:点稳定系数法不需要假设或指定某一形状滑面进行斜坡稳定性评价,且可考虑应力集中对坡体稳定性的影响;极限平衡法以稳定系数表达计算结果,而点稳定系数法以不稳定区域表达计算结果。在分析了应力和岩土体力学参数因素对点稳定系数法计算结果的敏感性后发现:相对于极限平衡法,岩土体力学参数对点稳定系数法影响更为敏感,存在黏聚力界限点和内摩擦角界限点,且对均质斜坡破坏形式(局部滑动变形破坏或整体压缩变形破坏)起着非常重要的作用。

Development of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Weather Forecast

Numerical weather prediction, which is the major basis of current weather forecast, has some shortcomings, such as the understanding of the law of atmospheric motion, the assimilation and application of observation data, the expression of model physics, etc., leading to the forecast error of weather. The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology in recent years provides a new possibility for the advancement and innovation of weather forecast. In this paper, the background of the development of artificial intelligence, the current situation of the application of artificial intelligence technology to weather forecast and the future development trend are mainly described to account for this possibility. After that, the idea for development of weather forecast technology based on the integration of artificial intelligence and numerical forecast is put forward. Particularly, this study stresses that, in order to advance the AI algorithm of weather forecast in the future, it is requested to focus on the nonlinear and chaotic characteristics of atmospheric motion leading to the uncertainty of forecast. Starting from the essence of mathematics and physics, we need to realize the hybrid modeling of mathematics and physics, not only to establish the framework of input-output mapping, but also to provide solutions to the bottleneck problems of weather forecast.     

Enhancement of a hypoplastic model for granular soil–structure interface behaviour

Modelling of interfaces in geotechnical engineering is an important issue. Interfaces between structural elements (e.g., anchors, piles, tunnel linings) and soils are widely used in geotechnical engineering. The objective of this article is to propose an enhanced hypoplastic interface model that incorporates the in-plane stresses at the interface. To this aim, we develop a general approach to convert the existing hypoplastic model with a predefined limit state surface for sands into an interface model. This is achieved by adopting reduced stress and stretching vectors and redefining tensorial operations which can be used in the existing continuum model with few modifications. The enhanced interface model and the previous model are compared under constant-load, stiffness and volume conditions. The comparison is followed by a verification of two the approaches for modelling the different surface roughness. Subsequently, a validation between available experimental data from the literature versus simulations is presented. The new enhanced model gives improved predictions by the incorporation of in-plane stresses into the model formulation.
