RC structures cyclic behavior simulation with a model integrating plasticity,damage, and bond‐slip

The behavior of reinforced concrete structures under severe demands, as strong ground motions, is highly complex; this is mainly due to the complexity of concrete behavior and to the strong interaction between concrete and steel, with several coupled failure modes. On the other hand, given the increasing awareness and concern on the worldwide seismic risk, new developments have arisen in earthquake engineering; nonetheless, some developments are mainly based on simple analytical tools that are widely used, given their moderate computational cost. This research aims to provide a solid basis for validation and calibration of such developments by using computationally efficient continuum mechanics‐based tools. Within this context, this paper presents a model for 3D simulation of cyclic behavior of RC structures. The model integrates a bond‐slip model developed by one of the authors and the damage variable evolution methodology for concrete damage plastic model developed by some authors. In the integrated model, a new technique is derived for efficient 3D analysis of bond‐slip of 2 or more crossing reinforcing bars in beam‐column joints, slabs, footings, pile caps, and other similar members. The analysis is performed by implementing the bond‐slip model in a user element subroutine of Abaqus and the damage variable evolution methodology in the original concrete damage plastic model in the package. Two laboratory experiments consisting of a column and a frame subjected to cyclic displacements up to failure are simulated with the proposed formulation.

针对套管井反射式超声波水泥固井质量检测问题,本文利用超声反射波频谱中套管共振透射窗内的复合反射系数,提出了定量反演套管-地层环空间内介质的波阻抗的方法. 利用复合反射系数中多个频率点的相移反正切函数主值,给出了波阻抗的计算公式,并把套管-地层环空间介质中波的相移的整、实特性作为波阻抗反演收敛的判据. 针对井下实际测井环境中超声换能器性能受温度和压力等的影响而发生变化,导致的声源波形（子波）和复合反射系数不确定的困难,提出了用井下原地（in situ）实测波形定量估计声源波形和复合反射系数的方法. 通过对合成数据的处理,分别考察了已知介质的声学和几何参数存在的偏差对套管-地层环空间内介质的波阻抗反演结果的影响. 本文对多组模型井检验数据进行了目的层介质的波阻抗反演与成像,成像结果与真实情况吻合,验证了反演方法的有效性. 最后对现场实测资料进行了套管-地层环空间内介质的波阻抗定量反演与成像.     

含裂隙岩体单轴压缩裂纹扩展机制离散元分析

将由室内试验总结得到的岩石微观胶结模型嵌入离散元软件,对Lac du Bonnet花岗岩石进行预制单裂隙单轴压缩试验DEM数值模拟,分析了压缩过程中裂隙试样中应力的分布,并与理论计算结果进行对比分析,同时对各种断裂判据中裂纹起裂角的预测值进行了适用性的对比分析。结果表明,离散元模拟试样破坏形态与试验结果相近;离散元分析得到的应力分布与理论解在定性上相似;当预制角度较小时,侧向应力都处于拉压状态;由于裂隙左右两端压应变的集中造成了裂隙上下面拉应变的产生,造成了裂隙周围特殊的应力分布;当裂隙角度较大时,应力集中现象已不明显,因而,理论值与试验值有偏差;在断裂判据中最大周应力准则和最大能量释放率准则得到的裂纹扩展角与室内试验与DEM结果中的数值较为吻合。     

针对黏性土胶质联结特征的SEM-EDS试验研究

采用 “整区→微区→胶结点”的逐步分区测试方法,对湛江原状黏土与重塑土开展SEM-EDS试验研究,观察土体微观结构的胶质联结特征,确定胶结物质的元素组分及其空间分布状态,建立微观结构-化学物质-宏观力学行为的相互关系与灵敏性分析。结果表明,土的基本性质很大程度上取决于微观层面的颗粒联结特征。湛江黏土的结构单元实际上是以许多黏土矿物薄片堆叠而成的黏土畴,开放式的絮凝结构加上以游离氧化铁为主要成分的胶质联结特征是导致湛江黏土具有高灵敏性、强结构性的根本原因。当应力水平超过土体的结构屈服应力后,力学性能迅速劣化,结构单元体逐步转为联结强度弱,分散性强的凝聚体或叠聚体。研究还表明,土的颗粒联结强度、结构形态特征及其对结构强度的贡献是导致原状土与重塑土性质差异的本质,天然状态下的湛江黏土土性受控于微观结构特征,而重塑土土性受控于黏土矿物颗粒本性。     

Adequacy of field pullout testing of soil nails

In practice, field pullout testing of soil nails is a widely accepted method for the construction quality control and the performance assessment of soil nail walls. At the design stage, field pullout tests provide useful information about the design bond strength of the nail–soil interface, which is critical in the determination of minimum soil nail length. To obtain a reliable and representative estimate of the design bond strength, it is necessary to conduct a sufficient number of field pullout tests. This study demonstrates the use of the concepts of simple random sampling and stratified random sampling to assess the adequacy of the ultimate bond strength adopted for design based on the minimum recommended number of field pullout tests.     

A coupled 3‐dimensional bonded discrete element and lattice Boltzmann method for fluid‐solid coupling in cohesive geomaterials

This paper presents a 3D bonded discrete element and lattice Boltzmann method for resolving the fluid‐solid interaction involving complicated fluid‐particle coupling in geomaterials. In the coupled technique, the solid material is treated as an assembly of bonded and/or granular particles. A bond model accounting for strain softening in normal contact is incorporated into the discrete element method to simulate the mechanical behaviour of geomaterials, whilst the fluid flow is solved by the lattice Boltzmann method based on kinetic theory and statistical mechanics. To provide a bridge between theory and application, a 3D algorithm of immersed moving boundary scheme was proposed for resolving fluid‐particle interaction. To demonstrate the applicability and accuracy of this coupled method, a benchmark called quicksand, in which particles become fluidised under the driving of upward fluid flow, is first carried out. The critical hydraulic gradient obtained from the numerical results matches the theoretical value. Then, numerical investigation of the performance of granular filters generated according to the well‐acknowledged design criteria is given. It is found that the proposed 3D technique is promising, and the instantaneous migration of the protected soils can be readily observed. Numerical results prove that the filters which comply with the design criteria can effectively alleviate or eliminate the appearance of particle erosion in dams.

A new ultrasonic interferometer for the determination of equation of state parameters of sub-millimeter single crystals

A new giga-Hertz ultrasonic interferometer has been developed, based on ultrasonic microscopy technology. The interferometer operates from 0.3 GHz to 1.5 GHz. The high frequency and associated small wavelengths together with the large bandwidth make it possible to measure travel times in samples with thicknesses of several microns and allow for unprecedented accuracy in bond corrections. An absolute accuracy of 1 part in 10⁵ in travel time measurements is achievable in single crystals (thickness of 200 microns) or glasses of interest to the earth sciences. The high precision travel time data, combining with sample length measurements using a laser interferometer built in our laboratory, yield very high precision ultrasonic velocities.The interferometer is intended for use in conjunction with a newly developed 4 GPa gas piston cylinder apparatus (Getting andSpetzler, 1993) for equation of state measurements under simultaneous pressure and temperature. A separate correction for the bond will be made for each datum at every point in temperature pressure space.
