鱼简河水库坝基岩体模量研究

岩体变形模量的确定是岩石力学界研究的难点问题。贵州省鱼简河水利工程是国家重点工程,该工程大坝坝型为拱坝,坝基岩体变形模量的大小直接影响其坝体结构设计。本文在坝基岩体分组的基础上,利用Monte-Carlo模拟技术,采用RMR法与岩体损伤的分形模型对岩体变形模量进行估算,最后结合原位试验和工程地质类比给出岩体参数建议值,为坝体设计提供合理的计算参数。      

基于弹塑性理论的修正分层总和法

建议了土体的非线性弹性-塑性本构方程,其中弹性矩阵采用Duncen-Chang本构模型,塑性部分则采用修正剑桥模型;提出了基于弹塑性理论的修正分层总和法新理论;该理论既有常规分层总和法简单,便于理解运用的优点,又能考虑土体的弹性非线性以及塑性变形特性,同时还能考虑土体三向应力对其变形的影响。为基础变形计算提供了一种较为理想的算法。

单临空面岩体中爆破诱发损伤的数值分析

岩石的抗压强度远大于其抗拉强度,所以在单临空面岩体爆破中,工程技术人员关注的不仅是炮孔附近的塑性压剪损伤,更多的是临空面附近的拉裂损伤,临空面若是地表,可能会影响到施工的安全,甚至造成一定的经济损失。以往这类损伤问题的数值模拟中大多只偏向于一方面：或忽略压剪损伤,或不考虑拉裂损伤,故所得出的结论难以满足工程需要。基于合理的应力修正方式,把现有的岩石拉-压损伤本构以简明的方式嵌入到大型LS-DYNA软件中,对单临空面岩体中的柱形和球形药包爆破问题进行了数值模拟,计算结果表明该法能较好地预测岩体中爆破诱发的拉裂、压缩损伤的分布规律和演化趋势。

泥岩蠕变行为的实验研究及其描述

利用自行研制的岩石三轴蠕变仪,对泥岩进行了系统的三轴蠕变试验。试验中考虑了轴压σ1和围压σ3对蠕变的影响。结果表明,当围压σ3一定时,轴向应力σ1增加,蠕变加快,在稳态蠕变阶段的应变率增大,试件的寿命缩短。而当应力差?σ=σ1–σ3保持不变时,围压σ3增加,蠕变减慢,稳态蠕变阶段的应变率也减小,试件的寿命增加。利用非经典粘塑性损伤本构模型对试验现象进行了分析,得到了较为满意的结果。

A high‐resolution local RBF collocation method for steady‐state poroelasticity and hydromechanical damage analysis

In this work, we describe a meshless numerical method based on local collocation with RBFs for the solution of the poroelasticity equation. The RBF finite collocation approach forms a series of overlapping nodal stencils, over which an RBF collocation is performed. These local collocation systems enforce the governing PDE operator throughout their interior, with the intersystem communication occurring via the collocation of field variables at the stencil periphery. The method does not rely on a generalised finite differencing approach, whereby the governing partial differential operator is reconstructed at the global level to drive the solution of the PDE. Instead, the PDE governing and boundary operators are enforced directly within the local RBF collocation systems, and the sparse global assembly is formed by reconstructing the value of the field variables at the centrepoint of the local stencils. In this way, the solution of the PDE is driven entirely by the local RBF collocation, and the method more closely resembles the approach of the full‐domain RBF collocation method. By formulating the problem in this fashion, high rates of convergence may be attained without the computational cost and numerical ill‐conditioning issues that are associated with the full‐domain RBF collocation approach. An analytical solution is formulated for a 2D poroelastic fluid injection scenario and is used to verify the proposed implementation of the method. Highly accurate solutions are produced, and convergence rates in excess of sixth order are observed for each field variable (i.e. pressure and displacement) and field‐variable derivative (i.e. pressure gradients and stresses). The stress and displacement fields resulting from the solution of the poroelasticity equation are then used to describe the formation and propagation of microfractures and microfissures, which may form in the presence of large shear strain, in terms of a continuous damage variable which modifies the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the porous medium. The formation of such hydromechanical damage, and the resulting increase in hydraulic conductivity, is investigated for a pressurised injection into sandstone.

Damage‐viscoplastic consistency model for rock fracture in heterogeneous rocks under dynamic loading

This paper presents a damage‐viscoplastic consistency model for numerical simulation of brittle fracture in heterogeneous rocks. The model is based on a combination of the recent viscoplastic consistency model by Wang and the isotropic damage concept with separate damage variables in tension and compression. This approach does not suffer from ill‐posedness, caused by strain softening, of the underlying boundary/initial value problem since viscoplasticity provides the regularization by introducing a length scale effect under dynamic loading conditions. The model uses the Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion with the Rankine criterion as a tensile cut‐off. The damage law in compression is calibrated via the degradation index concept of Fang and Harrison. Thereby, the model is able to capture the brittle‐to‐ductile transition occurring in confined compression at a certain level of confinement. The heterogeneity of rock is accounted for by the statistical approach based on the Weibull distribution. Numerical simulations of confined compression test in plane strain conditions demonstrate a good agreement with the experiments at both the material point and structural levels as the fracture modes are realistically predicted.

Effectiveness of flood damage mitigation measures: Empirical evidence from French flood disasters

Recent destructive flood events and projected increases in flood risks as a result of climate change in many regions around the world demonstrate the importance of improving flood risk management. Flood-proofing of buildings is often advocated as an effective strategy for limiting damage caused by floods. However, few empirical studies have estimated the damage that can be avoided by implementing such flood damage mitigation measures. This study estimates potential damage savings and the cost-effectiveness of specific flood damage mitigation measures that were implemented by households during major flood events in France. For this purpose, data about flood damage experienced and household flood preparedness were collected using a survey of 885 French households in three flood-prone regions that face different flood hazards. Four main conclusions can be drawn from this study. First, using regression analysis results in improved estimates of the effectiveness of mitigation measures than methods used by earlier studies that compare mean damage suffered between households who have, and who have not, taken these measures. Second, this study has provided empirical insights showing that some mitigation measures can substantially reduce damage during floods. Third, the effectiveness of the mitigation measures is very regional dependent, which can be explained by the different characteristics of the flood hazard in our sample areas that experience either slow onset river flooding or more rapid flash and coastal flooding. Fourth, the cost-efficiency of the flood damage mitigation measures depends strongly on the flood probability faced by households.
