基于Hoek-Brown强度准则的应变软化模型在隧道工程中的应用

基于Hoek-Brown强度准则及量化GSI围岩评级系统,分析岩体强度弱化行为,总结出确定岩体峰值及峰后强度参数的方法,提出应变软化模型的简化计算方法,并以FLAC3D数值模拟软件为工具,采用收敛-约束法对深埋大断面隧道支护结构及围岩稳定性进行分析,计算出支护结构安全系数。通过分析得出：随着围岩应力释放,岩体软化参数随之减小,岩体强度弱化行为突出;高地质强度GSI指标（GSI=75）的岩体虽然强度弱化程度较大,但围岩的变形量仍然较小,而低GSI指标（GSI=25）的岩体表现出了理想弹塑性行为;提出的简化Hoek-Brown应变软化模型适合应用于隧道中岩质相近区段围岩的研究;采用收敛-约束法对隧道支护结构的稳定性进行分析,可为隧道工程的初期支护优化设计及安全性评价提供参考。     

Testing and evaluation of strength and deformation behaviour of jointed rocks

The objective of the paper is to derive the strength and modulus properties of rockmass as a function of intact rock strength and joint factor. The joint factor reflects the combined effect of joint frequency, joint inclination and joint strength. A study for the strength and deformation characteristics of jointed rock is done by conducting standard laboratory tests on cylindrical specimens of plaster of Paris after introducing artificial joints. The specimens having one to four joints at different inclinations which vary from 0° to 90° were tested at different confining conditions. The test results were examined to understand the effect of joint frequency and joint inclination on the strength and deformation behaviour of rock mass. Empirical correlations were developed for prediction of the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of jointed rocks. Results are compared with the earlier work on jointed specimens covering a wide variety of rocks. So, knowing the intact rock properties and the joint factor, the jointed rock properties can be estimated. These relations can be used for developing an equivalent continuum model for rock mass for handling boundary value problems. A failure criterion as proposed by Ramamurthy (1993 Ramamurthy, T. 1993. “Strength and modulus response of anisotropic rocks”. In Comprehensive rock engineering, Edited by: Hudson, J.A. Vol. 1, 313–329. Oxford: Pergamon Press.  [Google Scholar]) has been validated from these experimental results.     

Continuous determination of drying-path SWRC of fine-grained soils

Establishing the soil water retention curve, SWRC or the soil water characteristic curve, SWCC, is very useful for determination of unsaturated properties of soils. However, it has been observed that SWRC of a soil is not unique and depends on various factors such as the initial moisture content, density of soil, method of compaction, soil fabric and the path (drying or wetting) adopted for establishing it. In this context, many techniques and instruments have been employed by earlier researchers for determination of the SWRC of soils. However, these techniques entail weighing of the samples during prolonged testing, manually, and hence yield discrete data points. In this situation, AquaSorp® Isotherm Generator (manufactured by Decagon Devices Inc., USA) has been found to be quite useful for continuous determination of the drying-path SWRC of fine-grained soils. This device has been primarily employed for food products, powders and amorphous materials. Hence, demonstration of the utility and limitations of this device for SWRC determination of fine-grained soils becomes essential. With this in mind, extensive studies were conducted on commercially available soils (Kaolinite and Bentonite) by employing this device. In order to understand the influence of specimen specific parameters on the obtained SWRCs, the molding water content and thickness of the specimens were varied and the results have been evaluated critically. Details of the methodology adopted for these investigations, and the findings of the study are presented in this technical note. Based on a critical comparison of the results obtained from this device with those obtained from the dewpoint potentiameter, WP4®, the utility of this device for continuous determination of drying-path SWRC of the soils has also been demonstrated.     

基于有限元强度折减法的抗滑桩滑坡推力及抗滑桩内力可靠性分析

现行的抗滑桩滑坡推力以及抗滑桩内力计算方法本质上属于定值方法,由于该方法未考虑边坡岩土体材料参数的变异性等不确定性因素,存在着抗滑桩支护不足或过度支护等问题,因此提出基于有限元强度折减法(SRFEM)的抗滑桩滑坡推力及抗滑桩内力可靠性分析方法。将极限分析法、有限元方法和可靠性分析法三者耦合,用2结点梁单元模拟抗滑桩受力状态,采用拉丁超立方抽样法(LHS)进行可靠度计算,分析求解边坡抗滑桩可靠性问题,并将该过程在数值计算程序中得以实现。对抗滑桩滑坡推力以及抗滑桩内力进行概率统计,得出函数分布关系,并根据已给定的失效概率控制值,反算出滑坡推力以及抗滑桩内力设计值。结合典型算例分析结果表明该法显著区别于一般方法,能较全面地反映出边坡整体现状特征和岩土体材料强度参数的变异性,相对更加合理,且更符合工程实际。     

非线性Hoek-Brown强度折减技术

为精确执行非线性Hoek-Brown(HB)强度折减,首先在p-q空间分析了HB曲线任意点切线与Mohr-Coulomb(MC)准则的对应关系,推求了HB屈服函数材料折减系数和强度折减系数的关系,提出了潜入强度折减系数的HB弹塑性分析模型,介绍了在Flac3D平台上二次开发实现非线性HB强度折减的基本思路。对一边坡算例用本文方法和简化Bishop法进行了对比分析,计算结果表明,潜入强度折减系数的HB弹塑性模型计算获得的边坡潜在滑动面形态、位置和相应的安全系数,与简化Bishop法计算结果很接近。     

堆载预压过程中的地基稳定性计算方法

在分期堆载预压过程中,需要对每一级堆载以及对下一级堆载高度下进行地基稳定性计算,并根据计算结果确定加堆高度和时间。计算时,根据不同堆载高度下的比奥固结理论有限单元法计算结果,用考虑地基强度增长总应力法和考虑超孔隙水压力的有效应力法分别进行地基稳定性计算,以保证地基在每一次加载时的稳定性。结合具体的工程实例,得到了一个很有用的结论：考虑地基土强度增长的总应力法和考虑超孔隙水压力的有效应力法进行地基稳定性计算所得的安全系数趋于相等。     

暴雨作用下排土场平台–边坡系统土壤侵蚀过程模拟研究

为了探究冻融循环作用对土体结构和力学性质的影响机理,以内蒙古元宝山露天煤矿内排土场典型黏土为研究对象,采用室内冻融循环试验和MatDEM数值模拟,进行土体内部温度场、水分场和应力场的模拟分析。结果表明：排土场土料经过冻融循环后发生冻缩现象;低围压时应力−应变曲线呈现应变软化型,发生剪切破坏,围压升高后向应变硬化型转变,发生剪胀破坏;抗剪强度的劣化受前3次冻融作用的影响最为显著,在第3次达到最低值;温度的传递过程可划分为温度快速下降、缓慢相变过程、继续降温、温度稳定4个阶段;水分运移主要在温度传递的前2个阶段发生,且第二阶段的水分运移量居多;颗粒受冻融作用后整体半径缩小、分散性增大;温度和水分运移引起的颗粒胀缩、冰−水相变、冷生结构的形成等,导致颗粒的大小、位置、连接状态和颗粒间的应力等反复变化,共同驱动土体产生不可逆的结构性损伤,进而造成强度劣化。水分运移不仅为冷生构造的生长提供水源条件,还产生溶蚀、冲刷破坏,与水的相变共同成为冻融循环作用导致土体发生结构调整和应力场变化的主要原因。通过离散元法模拟冻融循环,有助于了解土体内部的力学特征和强度劣化机理,为冻区露天煤矿内排土场边坡及其他工程建设的稳定性研究提供参考。

     

大理岩破坏的声发射双主频特征及其机制初探

因试样制备、试验操作等限制,获得饱和岩石的直接拉伸强度较为困难。为对饱和硬岩的直接拉伸强度进行合理估算并验证其可靠性,同时分析水对估算误差的影响,设计完成了干燥、饱和状态下两种硬岩的单轴压缩和直接拉伸声发射试验。基于Griffith理论和Hoek-Brown(H-B)强度准则,通过裂纹体积应变法确定岩石起裂应力,估算饱和硬岩的直接拉伸强度和H-B强度参数m_i。结合声发射波形信号频谱特性,分析两者估算结果的准确性。结果表明,基于Griffith准则并采用起裂应力估算饱和硬岩的直接拉伸强度是一种较可靠的方法。对于干燥硬岩,该方法确定的直接拉伸强度估算值比试验值偏小。饱和硬岩直接拉伸强度估算值与试验值基本接近,这是因为硬岩饱和后,延性和蠕变趋向增强,并发生更多的微观拉破裂。饱和硬岩的m_i值增大与增多的微观拉破裂有关,m_i值变化可用于描述饱和硬岩的软化程度。基于Griffith准则并采用起裂应力估算的岩石直接拉伸强度和H-B强度参数m_i可用于岩体工程的早期设计。     

干湿循环下原状黄土抗压强度试验研究

黄土是干旱、半干旱条件下形成的,具有特殊结构的土,季节性的降雨和蒸发作用必将引起其力学性质和结构改变,从而造成其强度降低和变形增大的问题。通过单轴抗压强度试验探讨了黄土抗压强度与含水率、干湿循环次数的变化规律,借助SEM图像定性和定量分析了其强度变化的微观机制。试验结果表明：黄土单轴抗压强度随含水率的减小表现为非线性的增大;随干湿循环次数的增加而减小,经历多次干湿循环后趋于稳定;含水率增大和干湿循环次数的增加不仅仅会使得粗颗粒的接触方式改变与胶体物质和腐殖质数量减少,还会使得土体孔隙直径增大,大、中孔隙所占百分比之和明显增多,进而从微观结构阐述了土体宏观强度的变化规律。
