压重顶进框构下穿高铁引起桥墩变形及控制技术

以某高速公路下穿京沪高铁工程为例,提出一种基于"卸载-加载平衡"理念的压重顶进框构方案,并对高铁桥墩变形及控制技术进行研究。结果表明,高速公路在高铁桥下开挖10 m深,开挖体量近10万方。采用压重顶进框构方案,施工中边顶进、边监测、边通过框顶堆土、桥下堆土、框内留土等措施加载压重,可有效控制高铁的隆起变形。在通车运营3个月后,高铁相邻桥墩累计最大差异沉降为2.7mm,距离规范限值留有46%的余量,满足规范要求。轨检表明,无砟轨道平顺性满足运营要求。对比分析表明,数值模型中粉质黏土压缩模量可采用P0~P0+100 kPa(P0为土体自重应力)应力区间对应的模量值,卸载模量可取为压缩模量的3~5倍。     

不同砂−膨润土垂直防渗墙填筑土料的掺量研究

土?膨润土垂直防渗墙在美国已广泛应用于城市卫生填埋场中,我国的工程中则应用较少。由国产膨润土与原地层土混合在自重应力作用下固结形成的防渗墙,其渗透性、孔隙和压缩性如何受膨润土掺量的影响,针对该一问题,使用福建标准砂模拟原地层,以3种典型膨润土作为混合料,在各掺量下对砂?膨润土填筑土料开展改进柔性壁渗透试验固结试验,研究不同膨润土掺量对填筑料渗透系数k、孔隙率n与压缩系数av影响。结果表明,膨润土和砂形成防渗墙时存在一个对应最小n和av的最优掺量Copt,当膨润土掺量小于等于Copt时,随着掺量增加,填筑料k下降很快,av缓慢减小;当掺量大于Copt后,随掺量上升,k降低速度趋缓,av快速地升高。理论上,膨润土掺入较少时黏土颗粒仅填充砂粒间的孔隙而不影响砂粒堆积,掺量达到一定程度后膨润土使砂粒彼此分离,悬浮在其中,填筑料的孔隙率随掺量而增大,可能是宏观上造成最优掺量产生的主要原因。

基于小波函数伸缩平移的特性,建立了能反映锚杆界面黏结?软化?滑动力学特性的剪应力?位移非线性本构模型,克服了三折线软化界面模型需要分段分析的复杂性。结合锚固体荷载传递的力学微分方程,推导了锚杆拉拔荷载?位移曲线的解析表达式,并提出了锚固体位移、轴力、周边剪应力的数值计算方法和步骤。通过算例分析,得到不同张拉位移作用下的锚固段位移、轴力和剪应力分布,获得的锚杆拉拔荷载?位移和锚杆轴向力分布计算值与实测值进行了对比分析,验证了该方法的有效性。该方法能准确地反映锚杆在不同荷载下的传力机制,模拟锚杆从弹性工作状态到塑性滑移的全过程。最后,通过参数分析,得到了锚杆锚固长度、轴向刚度以及锚固界面本构参数对锚固效果的影响规律。     

准饱和多孔介质中圈闭气体对渗透系数的影响

含圈闭气体的地下水流称为准饱和流,准饱和流中的圈闭气体对含水层渗透系数有重大影响。通过柱试验开展了粉砂、细砂、中砂和粗砂4种介质圈闭气体饱和度与准饱和渗透系数关系的研究。结果表明:圈闭气体饱和度明显受介质的粒径影响,在细粒介质中圈闭气体饱和度明显较大;4种介质圈闭气体饱和度在0~15%范围内,准饱和渗透系数与完全饱和相比减少了32.82%~56.38%,且准饱和渗透系数与圈闭气体饱和度之间可表达为一个负线性相关的经验公式;该公式与Faybishenko公式等效,但形式简单,参数较少,使用方便;准饱和渗透系数的变化规律可概化为圈闭气体占据了原有的有效孔隙,造成原有效孔隙度减少,从而使渗透系数减小。利用该理论,Kozeny-Carman方程能较准确地描述准饱和渗透系数的变化规律,而基于哈根-泊肃叶方程的渗透系数公式则存在较大误差,不适用于描述准饱和渗透系数;试验结果证明了室内测定饱和渗透系数时排除圈闭气体的必要性。     

加载速率对岩石单轴压缩试验影响的数值模拟研究

在单轴压缩数值模拟试验中,加载速率由每次边界条件变化幅度和边界条件变化后的平衡计算时间这两个因素共同控 制。同样的加载速率,两个因素的不同组合也会对加载效果有很大的影响。因此,探究以上两因素对岩石单轴压缩数值模拟 试验的影响机制,可对高效进行高精度的各加载速率下的数值模拟试验起到积极作用。本文使用MatDEM软件,基于软件自 动设定的加载区间以及标准平衡迭代,设置不同的应力施加步数Nd与平衡迭代比率Rb,进行不同加载速率下的数值模拟试 验。模拟结果表明：（1）单步加载后平衡迭代次数越多（Rb越大）,该步中应力波传播与动能衰减越充分。在最优阻尼条件下, 当单步加载后平衡迭代次数等于40次（Rb等于0.8）时,每步加载中动能充分平衡,可以最低计算量取得准静态模拟结果; （2）单步加载应力增量越小（Nd越大）,数值模拟试验精度越高;（3）当加载速率一定即计算量相同时,为保证更高的模拟试验 精度,应采用低单步应力增量与低单步加载后平衡迭代次数（Nd大、Rb小）的加载方案。本文为定量研究岩石加载速率问题和 相关数值模拟提供了参考。     

长春地区白垩系地层地铁勘察参数的确定

白垩系砾岩及泥岩地层在长春地区普遍存在,但由于砾岩地层现场钻探难以取样进行室内土工试验,泥岩地层由于存在水稳性、膨胀性、崩解性等因素影响,砾岩和泥岩的承载力值、抗剪强度参数指标、渗透系数以及基床系数等参数多以经验数据评估方法为主,在合理准确确定相关参数的问题上存在较大分歧。通过对长春地区白垩系砾岩及泥岩进行原位平板载荷试验、浸水载荷试验以及现场原位剪切试验,获取砾岩、泥岩的承载力值、抗剪强度指标、渗透系数以及现场基床系数值等,为地铁建设工程地质问题分析及设计提供充足的地质依据。     

溶液和温度作用下膨润土防水毯的渗透性能

以颗粒状和粉末状膨润土防水毯(GCLs)为对象,运用GDS (global digital systems)全自动渗透仪开展渗透试验,研究CaCl_2溶液作用下GCLs渗透性能的温度效应,初步探讨其机理。试验表明:当水化液为0.05mol/L的CaCl_2溶液时,两种GCLs渗透系数随温度升高呈现增大趋势;当水化液为去离子水时,颗粒状GCL渗透系数随温度升高而减小,粉末状GCL渗透系数随温度升高而增大。去离子水情况下,膨润土吸附结合水量随温度升高而减小;CaCl_2溶液作用下,吸附结合水量较去离子水情况大幅降低。当CaCl_2溶液浓度一定时,膨润土膨胀指数随温度升高而略有增大;当温度一定时,膨润土膨胀指数随CaCl_2溶液浓度升高而显著减小。以去离子水进行试验时:颗粒状和粉末状GCLs渗透系数随温度的变化主要影响因素为凝胶态蒙脱石数量,其次为流体黏滞系数和吸附结合水量;颗粒状GCLs膨润土孔隙结构越不均匀,凝胶态蒙脱石数量的影响就越显著,导致渗透系数随温度升高而减小、固有渗透率随温度升高显著降低。以CaCl_2溶液进行试验时,两种GCLs渗透系数随温度变化的主要受流体黏滞系数和吸附结合水量的影响,而受凝胶态蒙脱石数量的影响较小。孔隙溶液性质、温度和膨润土类型均对GCLs的防渗性能具有重要影响。     

Fully coupled hydraulic fracture simulation using the improved element partition method

The improved element partition method (IEPM) is a newly developed fracture simulation approach. IEPM allows a fracture to run across an element without introducing extra degrees of freedom. It can also simulate any number of fractures in a prescribed mesh without remeshing. In this study, the IEPM is extended to hydraulic fracture simulation. First, the seepage and volumetric storage matrix of a cracked element are derived using virtual nodes (the intersection points of a crack with element edges). Subsequently, the fully coupled hydromechanical equation is derived for this cracked element. To eliminate the extra degrees of freedom (virtual nodal quantities), the water pressure and displacement of the virtual nodes are associated with their adjacent nodes through least squares interpolation. Finally, the fully coupled equation in terms of nodal quantities is obtained. The verification cases validate the method. By using this method, the field-scale hydraulic fracturing process is well simulated. The proposed approach is simple and efficient for field-scale hydraulic fracture simulation.     

Response to the paper by H. Zia,B. Lecampion “Explicit versus implicit front advancing schemes for the simulation of hydraulic fracture growth” (Int. J. Numer. Anal. Methods Geomech., 2019, 43 (6), 1300–1315)

The response presents three comments, which (i) explain theoretical background for the success of the explicit front advancing scheme by Zia and Lecampion (comment 1), (ii) suggest possible extensions (comment 2), and (iii) pay attention on expected limitations of the scheme to be checked by the authors in numerical experiments (comment 3). The response does not intend to present novel results: it is entirely based on known results published in the references cited.     

Quantitative prediction of discrete element models on complex loading paths

The ability of discrete element models to describe quantitatively (and not only qualitatively) the constitutive behaviour of a dense sand is assessed in this paper. Two kinds of 3D discrete models are considered. Both consider spheres as elementary particles. Nevertheless, the first model implements a contact law with rolling resistance whereas the second takes into account clumps made of two spheres. The discrete models are calibrated and validated from mechanical tests performed on a dense Hostun sand with a true triaxial apparatus. The calibration is carried out from axisymmetric drained compression tests, while the validation is discussed from monotonic and cyclic stress proportional loading paths and from a circular stress path in the deviatoric stress plane. The quality of the predictions of the discrete models are evaluated by comparison with the predictions given with advanced phenomenological constitutive relations, mainly an incrementally non-linear relation. Predictions given by the discrete models are remarkable, particularly when it is put in perspective with respect to the very few number of mechanical tests required for their calibration. However, these results and conclusions were reached in enabling conditions, and some limitations of such discrete models should be kept in mind.
