干湿循环对混凝土在高浓度卤水中氯离子扩散行为的影响

在高浓度盐湖卤水中,采用自然扩散法进行了混凝土的III维氯离子扩散实验,研究了普通混凝土(Ordinary Portland cement concrete,OPC)、高强混凝土(High strength concrete,HSC)、高性能混凝土(High performance concrete,HPC)、钢纤维增强高性能混凝土(Steel fiber reinforced high performance concrete,SFRHPC)和高强高模聚乙烯纤维增强高性能混凝土(High elasticity module Polyethylene fiber reinforced high performance concrete,HEMPFRHPC)的氯离子扩散行为,探讨了干湿循环对混凝土氯离子扩散行为的影响。结果表明,干湿循环作用加快了OPC、HSC和HPC的氯离子扩散速度,而且毛细管作用对OPC、HSC、HPC和SFRHPC的氯离子扩散行为有一定程度的影响,从而导致混凝土表面氯离子浓度的富集现象更加明显。进一步研究发现,干湿循环降低了OPC的表观氯离子扩散系数,但是对HSC、MPC和HEMPFRHPC的表观氯离子扩散系数则没有明显的影响。     

Coupled gravity dam-foundation analysis using a simplified direct method of soil-structure interaction

A time domain transient analysis of a concrete gravity dam and its foundation has been carried out in a coupled manner using finite element technique and the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) has been incorporated using a simplified direct method. A two dimensional plane strain dam-foundation model has been used for the time history analysis to compute the stresses and displacements against earthquake loading considering the effect of soil-structure interaction. An effective boundary condition has been implemented by attaching dashpots to the vertical boundaries. The material damping effects have also been considered and the dam and foundation have both been modeled as linear, elastic materials. To achieve a greater degree of accuracy, the displacements and stresses calculated in the free-field analysis have also been added to those developed in the complete dam-foundation analysis. The proposed algorithm has been simulated for the case of two published problems and in both the cases the results have been found to be in close agreement. The proposed technique is quite simple and easy to implement in the computer code. The outcomes of the results show the efficacy of the developed method.     

Integration of creep into a modified hardening soil model for time-dependent analysis of a high rockfill dam

This paper proposes an approach to extend a modified hardening soil model into the time-dependent analysis of high rockfill dams. The key feature of the extended model is the integration of a creep model and the double yield surface elasto-plastic model, via modifying the hardening functions. The integrated model is validated by a laboratory multistage creep test. Results from three-dimensional analyses including the without creep and with creep considerations of the Nam Ngum 2 dam have been compared with the in-situ measurements. The prediction of dam deformation can be significantly enhanced by the proposed model.     

A continuum damage concrete model for earthquake analysis of concrete gravity dam–reservoir systems

In this study, the earthquake damage response of the concrete gravity dams is investigated with considering the effects of dam–reservoir interaction. A continuum damage model which is a second-order tensor and includes the strain softening behavior is selected for the concrete material. The mesh-dependent hardening technique is adopted such that the fracture energy dissipated is not affected by the finite element mesh size. The dynamic equilibrium equations of motion are solved by using the improved form of the HHT-α time integration algorithm. Two dimensional seismic analysis of Koyna gravity dam is performed by using the 1967 Koyna earthquake records. The effects of damage on the earthquake response of concrete gravity dams are discussed. Comparison of the Westergaard and Lagrangian dam–reservoir interaction solutions is made. The effects of viscous damping ratio on the damage response of the dam are also studied.     

Effects of near-fault and far-fault ground motions on nonlinear dynamic response and seismic damage of concrete gravity dams

As the forward directivity and fling effect characteristics of the near-fault ground motions, seismic response of structures in the near field of a rupturing fault can be significantly different from those observed in the far field. The unique characteristics of the near-fault ground motions can cause considerable damage during an earthquake. This paper presents results of a study aimed at evaluating the near-fault and far-fault ground motion effects on nonlinear dynamic response and seismic damage of concrete gravity dams including dam-reservoir-foundation interaction. For this purpose, 10 as-recorded earthquake records which display ground motions with an apparent velocity pulse are selected to represent the near-fault ground motion characteristics. The earthquake ground motions recorded at the same site from other events that the epicenter far away from the site are employed as the far-fault ground motions. The Koyna gravity dam, which is selected as a numerical application, is subjected to a set of as-recorded near-fault and far-fault strong ground motion records. The Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) model including the strain hardening or softening behavior is employed in nonlinear analysis. Nonlinear dynamic response and seismic damage analyses of the selected concrete dam subjected to both near-fault and far-fault ground motions are performed. Both local and global damage indices are established as the response parameters. The results obtained from the analyses of the dam subjected to each fault effect are compared with each other. It is seen from the analysis results that the near-fault ground motions, which have significant influence on the dynamic response of dam–reservoir–foundation systems, have the potential to cause more severe damage to the dam body than far-fault ground motions.
