动态施工条件下竖向立柱的承载力和稳定性研究

竖向立柱是基坑逆作法设计的关键环节之一,而动态施工下侧向约束则是决定立柱稳定承载力的主要因素。针对逆作施工中立柱的轴压稳定问题,采用有限元方法获得立柱轴压屈曲荷载,进而通过杆件欧拉公式反推获得立柱计算长度系数。采用线性特征值屈曲分析研究地基土分步开挖、侧向约束动态变化下竖向立柱的承载力和稳定性,提出了竖向立柱稳定承载力分析时计算长度系数的拟合公式。非线性屈曲分析考虑了几何大位移的影响,通过施加初始几何缺陷获得立柱屈曲后的平衡路径。结果表明,含初始缺陷的立柱实际承载力一般要比特征值屈曲荷载小,且初始缺陷幅值越大,立柱的稳定承载力越小。     

碎石桩复合地基承载力性状分析

按等置换率原则建立碎石桩复合地基有限元计算模型，在考虑基础刚度、荷载强度变化条件下对比分析了天然地基与复合地基附加应力分布特征、塑性区扩展规律；根据有限元计算结果分析了桩身荷载传递规律并与实测结果对比确定桩身应力随桩身呈指数衰减。计算结果还表明：桩土应力比不仅与桩土模量比有关，也与荷载水平及置换率有关；在鼓胀破坏情形下桩体侧向变形性质取决于桩周土而与置换率、模量比、桩长无关。

利用微动勘察方法探测煤矿陷落柱

陷落柱是危害煤矿安全生产的主要因素之一,如何有效探测陷落柱是实现煤矿安全、高效生产的当务之急.本文首次将微动勘察方法应用于煤矿采区勘探,结果表明,该方法对陷落柱异常区反映敏感.在山西潞安漳村煤矿2002工作面测区已知陷落柱上,无论是单点反演获得的S波速度结构,还是微动视S波速度剖面,均能清晰显示陷落柱.微动剖面确定的陷落柱位置与巷道揭露位置一致,边界误差在10 m左右.微动勘察方法是探测陷落柱的一种行之有效的物探方法,由于其分辨率高、无需人工源、野外施工方法灵活便捷、不受施工场地限制等特点,对探测村庄覆盖区之下的煤层构造、圈定陷落柱等,具有得天独厚的技术优势和应用前景.     

蜂窝状钢骨混凝土L形柱抗震性能的试验研究

为了考察轴压比对蜂窝状钢骨混凝土L形柱抗震性能的影响,本文进行了3根不同轴压比的蜂窝状钢骨混凝土L形柱的低周往复水平荷载试验,研究了该L形柱的破坏形态、滞回特性、延性、黏滞阻尼系数等抗震性能.研究表明:蜂窝状钢骨能增强钢骨与混凝土间的黏结能力,提高其协同工作与整体受力性能.蜂窝状钢骨的存在,延缓了L形柱的刚度退化,提高了延性,增强了结构的耗能能力及抗震性能.轴压比对该新型构件的破坏形态及抗震性能影响明显.随着轴压比的增大,构件的破坏形态由类似于剪切破坏向轴压破坏形态转变.轴压比越大,构件的极限承载力越大,但延性与黏滞阻尼系数越小,耗能能力越低,抗震性能越差.研究还发现,该新型构件的正、反方向承载力及延性有所差别.     

软件滤波在土体自振柱试验中的应用

自振柱试验是测量土样动剪切模量和阻尼比的常用方法,但由于噪声等环境因素的影响,土样扭剪自由振动的衰减波曲线有时会因高频干扰出现不平滑现象,难以得到合理的测试结果。软件数字滤波是解决这类问题的有效方法。本文通过多种软件数字滤波方法优缺点的对比,认为平均滤波法和惯性滤波法能有效解决试验数据中的高频干扰问题,并分别选择适当的滤波参数,得到了平滑的自振衰减波曲线;最后,采用平均滤波法处理了两组自振枉试验数据。结果表明,软件滤波法确能有效消除不合理数据,得到符合一般规律的土体动剪切模量和阻尼比试验结果,从而验证了其在土体自振柱试验中的应用价值。     

Composed analytical models for seismic assessment of reinforced concrete bridge columns

This paper presents general composed analytical models to predict the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns. The analytical models were developed in OpenSees to represent the common hysteretic behavior of RC bridge columns. The proposed composed models can accommodate flexure failure, flexure‐shear failure, and pure shear failure, which are observed in existing RC bridge piers. The accuracy of the models was verified using data from the static cyclic‐loading experiments of 16 single columns and one multi‐column bent and dynamical experiment from two pseudo‐dynamic tests. The results showed that the analytical models could simulate the nonlinear behavior until the post‐failure behavior, including the strength degradation, the buckling of the reinforcement, and the pinching effect. Therefore, a global view of the behavior of reinforcement concrete is prescribed as simply as possible from the academic perspective, and these models are expected to provide sufficient accuracy when applied in engineering practice.

Stone columns as liquefaction countermeasure in non-plastic silty soils

In many cases densification with vibro-stone columns cannot be obtained in non-plastic silty soils. Shear stress re-distribution concepts [1] have been previously proposed as means to assess stone columns as a liquefaction countermeasure in such non-plastic silty soils. In this study, centrifuge testing is conducted to assess the performance of this liquefaction countermeasure. Attention is focused on exploring the overall site stiffening effects due to the stone column placement rather than the drainage effects. The response of a saturated silt stratum is analyzed under base dynamic excitation conditions. In a series of four separate model tests, this stratum is studied first without, then with stone columns, as a free-field situation, and with a surface foundation surcharge. The underlying mechanism and effectiveness of the stone columns are discussed based on the recorded dynamic responses. Effect of the installed columns on excess pore pressures and deformations is analyzed and compared. The test results demonstrate that stone columns can be an effective technique in the remediation of liquefaction induced settlement of non-plastic silty deposits particularly under shallow foundations, or vertical effective stresses larger than about 45 kPa (1000 psf) in free field conditions.     

Multiple‐tuned liquid column dampers for torsional vibration control of structures: theoretical investigation

This paper presents a theoretical investigation on the performance of multiple‐tuned liquid column dampers (MTLCD) for reducing torsional vibration of structures in comparison with single‐tuned liquid column dampers (STLCD). The analytical model is first developed for torsional vibration of a structure with an MTLCD under either harmonic excitation or white noise excitation. The experimental results are then used to verify the analytical model for coupled MTLCD‐structure systems under harmonic excitation. The performance of an MTLCD and its beneficial parameters for achieving the maximum torsional response reduction to white noise excitation are finally investigated through an extensive parametric study in terms of the distance from the centre line of the MTLCD to the rotational axis of the structure, the ratio of the horizontal length to the total length of liquid column, frequency bandwidth, head‐loss coefficient, the number of TLCD units in an MTLCD, frequency‐turning ratio and the spectral level of excitation moment. The results show that there is an optimal head‐loss coefficient and an optimal frequency bandwidth for an MTLCD to achieve the maximum torsional response reduction. It is also demonstrated that the sensitivity of an optimized MTLCD to the frequency‐tuning ratio is less than that of an optimized STLCD, and it can be further improved by increasing the bandwidth but at the cost of less torsional vibration reduction.
