全吸力范围南阳膨胀土的土-水特征曲线

膨胀土的失水收缩、吸水膨胀过程分别对应着土-水特征曲线的脱湿和吸湿阶段。土-水特征曲线对于研究非饱和土的水力与力学特性有着重要作用。用压力板法（吸力范围0～1.5 MPa）、滤纸法（吸力范围0～40 MPa）和蒸汽平衡法（吸力范围3～368 MPa）,分别对南阳膨胀土进行了土-水特性试验,得到全吸力范围内的土-水特征曲线。试验结果表明：初始孔隙比大致相同土样的土-水特征曲线,在低吸力范围内脱湿曲线与吸湿曲线具有明显的滞回现象。当吸力大于300 MPa时,土-水特征曲线的滞回效应基本消失,即脱湿曲线与吸湿曲线基本重合。滤纸法所测出的土-水特性落在主脱湿和主吸湿曲线的滞回圈内。当吸力等于367.54 MPa时,含水率仅为0.325%,几乎近于0。孔隙比随着吸力的变化规律中,不仅受到吸力大小的影响,还受到吸力历史和吸力路径影响;孔隙比与吸力关系中,相同吸力时吸湿路径的孔隙比要比脱湿路径的大;在吸力低范围,吸湿路径与脱湿路径的孔隙比相近。孔隙比与饱和度关系因吸力路径的不同也存在着明显的滞回效应,接近饱和时趋近一致。变吸力情况条件下,饱和度随着孔隙比的增加而增加,蒸汽平衡法得出的孔隙比与饱和度的关系具有明显的线性关系,而压力板法做出来的低吸力范围内的线性关系不明显。

为优化径向透平动叶片的结构型式,有效提高透平工作效率,本文基于Ansys-Fluent软件构建振荡水柱波能发电装置径向冲击式透平的三维瞬态全流域数值模型,通过改变透平动叶片吸力面型式,研究了正弦往复入射气流条件下动叶片厚度差异对透平扭矩、压强等参量的影响及其对透平输入系数、扭矩系数和周期平均效率等非定常性能评价参数的影响。在保证压力面型式不变情况下,研究了5种动叶片厚度分别为7 mm、13 mm、16 mm、19 mm和22 mm的透平在呼气、吸气阶段的非定常工作性能,结果表明：不同动叶片厚度的透平的非定常工作性能存在较大差异,动叶片厚度为13 mm的透平非定常工作性能最优,最大峰值效率可达47.7%。     

Bounding surface‐based modeling of compacted silty sand exhibiting suction dependent postpeak strain softening

This article focuses on modeling the strain hardening‐softening response of statically compacted silty sand as observed from a comprehensive series of suction‐controlled, consolidated‐drained triaxial tests accomplished in a fully automated, double‐walled triaxial test system via the axis‐translation technique. The constitutive model used in this work is based on the theory of Bounding Surface (BS) plasticity and is formulated within a critical state framework. The essential BS model parameters are calibrated using the full set of triaxial test results and then used for predictions of compacted silty sand response at matric suction states varying from 50 to 750 kPa. Complementary simulations using the Barcelona Basic Model have also been included, alongside BS model predictions, in order to get further enlightening insights into some of the main limitations and challenges facing both frameworks within the context of the experimental evidence resulting from the present research effort. In general, irrespective of the value of matric suction applied, the Barcelona Basic Model performs relatively well in predicting response at peak and critical state failure under low net confining pressure while the Bounding Surface Model performs relatively well under high net confining pressures.     

A bounding surface model for saturated and unsaturated soil-structure interfaces

In many geotechnical systems, such as reinforced slopes and embankments, soil-structure interfaces are often unsaturated. Shear behaviour of unsaturated interfaces is strongly dependent on their matric suctions, as revealed by the results of extensive laboratory tests. So far, constitutive models for unsaturated interfaces are very limited in the literature. This paper reports a new bounding surface model for saturated and unsaturated interfaces. New formulations were developed to incorporate suction effects on the flow rule and plastic modulus. To examine the capability of the proposed model, it was applied to simulate suction- and stress-controlled direct shear tests on unsaturated soil–cement, soil–steel and soil–geotextile interfaces. Measured and computed results are well matched, demonstrating that the proposed model can well capture key features of the shear behaviour of unsaturated interfaces, including suction-dependent dilatancy, stress–strain relation and peak and critical state shear strengths.     

三门峡地区黄土状粉质黏土非饱和性质试验研究

以三门峡地区黄土状粉质黏土为研究对象,通过控制重塑土样的干密度及含水率制备不同状态下的试样,在改进的三轴仪上采用不排水试验法,分别对试样进行非饱和土三轴试验。试验结果表明,黄土状粉质黏土的基质吸力变化规律与土的基本状态有着密切关系,尤其是在相同含水率、相同围压、不同干密度的状态下基质吸力会随着饱和度的增加,出现先增后减的变化规律。通过单元土体中土颗粒组成的结构体参数,分析了这种变化规律。     

Sediment removal efficiency of siphon dredging with wedge-type suction head and float tank

Siphon dredging with a float tank and different siphon suction heads, including the plain-type and wedge-type with/without side holes, through flume experiments were used to investigate the reservoir sediment removal efficiency. The experiment revealed maximum suction pressure and velocity when the distance from the suction head to the bed was about 25% of suction head diameter. Suction pressure decreased rapidly as the distance from the suction head to the bed increased to 50% and 100% of suction head diameter. Suction pressure achieved by wedge-type suction head was only 16.9-17.6% of that around plain-type suction head, and the velocity around wedge-type suction head was 64.7-68.4% of that around plain-type suction head. However the plain-type suction head was easily clogged doe to its long bobbing period. The average bobbing period for the plain-type suction head was about 105-263% that of the wedge-type suction head. The sediment removal efficiency was achieved when float tank diameter was 3-4 times that of the suction head. Flow discharge and sediment removal increased as the suction head diameter and side hole diameter increased, respectively. The most efficient side hole area was an area within 15% of suction head area. Totally, the optimal sediment removal efficiency was the wedge angle of 20° with 3 side holes. The efficiency of sediment dredging by siphon suction with a suction tube passing through the dam bottom was better than that with suction passing over the top of the dam. The wedge-type siphon suction with a float tank is preferable for sediment dredging in small reservoirs because it is inexpensive and efficient.     

考虑饱和度的压实填土抗剪强度研究

压实填土一般为典型的非饱和土,广泛存在于各类工程中,其物理力学性质受填土含水状态的影响。因基质吸力测量困难,非饱和土强度理论难以在压实填土工程中应用。研究含水状态变化对压实土抗剪强度影响的大小,寻找一种简化实用的非饱和压实土抗剪强度确定方法。从非饱和土理论出发,对含水状态影响压实土抗剪强度的机制进行了分析,重新整理并分析了5种压实土的非饱和三轴试验结果,对一些压实土工程资料中的直剪试验强度指标进行了收集和整理。分析表明,基质吸力对压实填土抗剪强度的贡献占有相当大的比例;含水率变化对压实填土抗剪强度的影响是非常显著和不容忽视的。工程资料中压实土饱和度对数值与黏聚力指标有良好的线性相关关系,提出了一个考虑饱和度影响的压实填土抗剪强度简易计算方法。     

非饱和土稳态孔隙比变形理论研究

非饱和湿陷性土与湿胀性土分别具有亚稳态孔隙比结构和超稳态孔隙比结构,广义吸力是维持这种结构稳定的主要因素。随着广义吸力的丧失,两种结构均处于一个不稳定的孔隙状态,土体会向一个更加稳定的孔隙比结构发展。超孔隙比结构孔隙比增大,土体产生膨胀,亚稳孔隙比减小,土体产生收缩。基于这一稳态孔隙比理论,建立了广义吸力丧失引起的孔隙比的增量方程,来统一考虑非饱和土的湿陷性和湿胀性变形特性,并通过经典试验数据验证了增量方程的合理性     

工程切坡诱发黄土滑坡成因机制研究

伴随着城镇化进程的提速,黄土地区由于工程切坡诱发了大量的工程滑坡。为了研究典型工程黄土滑坡的成因机制,以宝鸡市扶风县飞凤山滑坡为例,开展了野外地质灾害详细调查,同时进行原位渗水试验和原状黄土、古土壤试样土-水特征曲线测试。试验结果表明：当黄土存在小孔洞等结构性问题时,渗透系数可达10-4 cm/s量级,为中等渗透性等级;土-水特征曲线试验求得古土壤的进气值为11.5 kPa,大于黄土的9.0 kPa,同时曲线也显示了古土壤和黄土干湿交替过程中,强度和变形的演化出现分化。在试验结果分析基础上,指出工程切坡是滑坡发生的主要诱发因素,由此触发了土体一系列物理化学链锁反应,尤其是强化了土-水耦合作用的影响,催化了滑坡的发生。最后,提出了飞凤山滑坡的破坏模式为滑带双向发展、兼具滑塌灾害部分典型地质特征的渐进式破坏。     

轴平移技术在基质吸力测控中的局限性和误差分析

为了揭示非饱和土在自然环境和轴平移环境两种条件下,基质吸力测试数据存在差异的原因,分别研究了表面张力系数和难充水微孔隙在相同吸力作用下对含水率的影响。一方面,表面张力系数随压力的增大而小幅减小,同一基质吸力条件下采用轴平移技术时对应的含水率较自然状态有偏小的趋势;另一方面,由于一端封闭微孔隙的存在,较高的孔隙气压力必然促使土中水进入部分难充水微孔隙,从而同一基质吸力条件下轴平移技术对应的含水率较自然状态又有升高的趋势。因此,在特定基质吸力条件下,轴平移方法得到的含水率较自然状态偏大还是偏小取决于上述两方面的综合效应。毛细上升试验和针对一端封闭微孔隙模型的研究表明,一端封闭微孔隙的存在对土-水特征曲线的影响远远大于表面张力系数变化的影响。针对石英砂、砂土和黏土的两种SWCC测试结果表明,随土颗粒逐渐变细,轴平移技术对SWCC的影响越来越大。从而进一步印证,张力计法和轴平移方法在测试黏土土-水特征曲线方面存在差异的原因在于一端封闭微孔隙的存在。
