桥梁沉井基础抗震性能研究现状及展望

随着国内外大跨桥梁特别是跨海桥梁建设的迅速发展,沉井基础在桥梁基础中所占的比例越来越大。虽然沉井基础作为1种刚性基础具有良好的力学性能,然而震害实践表明沉井基础在地震作用下也并非万无一失。通过分析国内外典型桥梁沉井基础的震害特征发现,沉井基础的地震破坏与桩基础有显著差异,且与埋置深度有直接关系;研究表明:地震作用下沉井基础的破坏机理及地基承载力与静力作用下明显不同,但目前在该方面的研究还较为欠缺;总结和对比了现有几种沉井基础-土相互作用研究方法,并分析了几种研究方法的优缺点和适用场合;同时也归纳和对比了各国抗震规范对桥梁沉井基础的基本规定、适用范围、计算方法和构造规定等方面的内容。最后结合现有的研究现状对沉井基础抗震性能研究的发展方向进行了展望,此外,随着我国跨海、跨江及跨库区大跨桥梁建设的发展,地震力和波浪力等多灾害因素共同作用下深水沉井基础桥梁破坏机理及设计方法的研究势在必行。     

基坑土钉支护设计的简单算法研究

土钉支护技术在深基坑开挖和支护中已得到了广泛的应用,但对其工作机制和计算方法的研究尚不完善。目前数值模拟算法较多,但其本构模型准确地选择及相关参数的确定需要进行大量的三轴试验或真三轴试验。基于此,提出3个假设,建立简单的计算模型,并对土钉的工作机制深入研究,得到土钉拉力的“二半支抛物线”分布规律,推导出土钉支护设计的解析算法相关公式。以徐州彭城地下广场深基坑土钉支护工程为例,进行土钉拉力现场测试,对基坑水平位移、沉降进行观测,所测数据验证了文中公式的可靠性,为类似基坑工程的设计和施工提供参考。     

考虑侧填荷载的分离式基础涵洞地基承载力新算法和试验

为了研究涵侧填土对采用分离式基础涵洞地基承载力的提高效应,先结合基底土体的受力特点,进行受力分析,建立计算模型,构建求解分离式基础地基极限承载力的算法,给出承载力表达式。然后在相似理论的指导下,设计了5组模型,试验模拟粉质黏土地基受荷变形直到破坏的全过程,绘出荷载-沉降曲线,测得涵侧填土高度为0、4、8、12、16 m时的地基极限承载力。试验发现:随着侧填土高度的增加,承载力显著提高,当填土为12 m时已达到885 kPa;但提高幅度表现出非线性特性,先从18.42%增加到36.11%,然后减小到3.39%;当填土达到16 m时承载力达到915 kPa且不再增加;同时发现使用本文算法与试验实测值的误差小于10%,可以考虑用此算法计算分离式基础涵洞的地基极限承载力。继而得出结论:当涵洞地基沉降满足设计要求时,涵侧填土显著提高了地基承载力,节约工程造价,且提高的幅度先增加后减少,当达到16 m时地基承载力便逐渐趋于915 kPa。     

确定堤坝工程地基渗透系数的敏感分析法

堤坝工程中地基渗透系数的选取具较大随机性, 为了解决这个问题, 采用敏感性分析理论建立了求解渗透系数敏感性因子的数学模型, 该模型在河南省燕山水库水利工程中的应用表明: 覆盖层渗透系数的敏感性最大(> 10-2), 设计应取试验值的大值; 其他部分渗透系数的敏感性相对较小(10-6~10-3), 设计中可取试验值的均值; 对于防渗设施, 只要达到一定密实度, 再降低其渗透系数, 防渗效果不会再有明显改善      

基坑开挖中渗流-应力耦合模拟

根据基坑工程施工实际情况,基于地下水渗流的基本规律以及岩土体受力的本构模型,建立了在应力场和渗流场耦合作用下基坑受力的力学模型,通过有限元方法模拟了基坑开挖过程中周围应力场及渗流场的变化规律。计算结果表明：在设置挡土墙并及时排水情况下,随着开挖的进行,基坑周围的土体变形增大,挡土墙前的土体发生沉降,墙体最终发生变形,基坑底部土体向上隆起,在基坑角落处水头梯度较大,发生应力集中,容易导致工程事故,必须谨慎处理。另外,基坑在降水时内外水头差过大将会引起墙体承受过大压力,基坑周围沉降会更大,这样不利于墙体和周围建筑安全。

Experimental study on wide-shallow composite bucket foundation for offshore wind turbine under cyclic loading

As an appropriate type of foundation for offshore wind turbines (OWTs), wide-shallow composite bucket foundation (WSCBF) is cost-competitive, and it has a unique and special substructure that comprises seven internal rooms arranged in a honeycomb-like structure. In this study, the cyclic behavior of WSCBF for OWTs embedded in saturated clay was investigated using a large-scale model subjected to lateral cyclic loading. The responses of foundation under constant- and various-amplitude cyclic loadings were recorded in terms of displacements, rotations, and bending moments. The variations in stiffness and damping were obtained, and a collaborative bearing mechanical model between the bucket and soil was considered, which was beneficial for improving the stiffness of the whole structure. Accumulative deformation was found to have little effect on the bearing capacity of the foundation. Dynamic analysis in frequency domain was further performed on both moment and rotation data, and the complex, frequency-dependent impedance was also studied.     

Effects of long-term cyclic horizontal loading on bucket foundations in saturated loose sand

A 1-g model experimental study was conducted to investigate the accumulated rotations and unloading stiffness of bucket foundations in saturated loose sand. One-way horizontal cyclic loading was applied to model bucket foundations with embedment ratios 0.5 and 1.0. Up to 10⁴ cycles of loading were applied at a frequency of 0.2 Hz varying load amplitudes. The accumulated rotation of the bucket foundations increased with the number of cycles and the load amplitudes. Empirical equations were proposed to describe the accumulated rotation of the foundations. The unloading stiffness of foundations increased with the number of cycles but decreased with an increase in load amplitude. The initial unloading stiffness of L/D = 1.0 (L is skirt length; D is foundation diameter) was approximately twice that of L/D = 0.5. Excess pore water pressure difference of 50% was observed between L/D = 0.5 and 1.0. The suction and static capacity of the bucket increased with increase of bucket embedment ratio with a difference of 69.5% and 73.6% respectively between L/D = 0.5 and 1.0.
