An approach to the modeling of viscoelastic damage. Application to the long‐term creep of gypsum rock materials

A three‐dimensional phenomenological model is developed to describe the long‐term creep of gypsum rock materials. The approach is based on the framework of continuum damage mechanics where coupling with viscoelasticity is adopted. Specifically, a local damage model based on the concept of yield surface is proposed and deeply investigated. Among the many possibilities, we choose in this work its coupling with a generalized Kelvin–Voigt rheological model to formulate the whole behavior. Long‐term as well as short‐term relaxation processes can be integrated in the model by means of as many as necessary viscoelastic processes. The numerical discretization is described for an easy integration within a finite element procedure. Finally, a set of numerical simulations is given to show the possibilities of the presented model. It shows good agreement with some experimental results found in the literature. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Abrupt behaviours of streamflow and sediment load variations of the Yangtze River basin,China

Monthly sediment load and streamflow series spanning 1963–2004 from four hydrological stations situation in the main stem of the Yangtze River, China, are analysed using scanning t‐test and the simple two‐phase linear regression scheme. Results indicate significant changes in the sediment load and streamflow from the upper reach to the lower reach of the Yangtze River. Relatively consistent positive coherency relations can be detected between streamflow and sediment load in the upper reach and negative coherency in the middle and lower reaches. Interestingly, negative coherency is found mainly for larger time scales. Changes in sediment load are the result mainly of human influence; specifically, the construction of water reservoirs may be the major cause of negative coherency. Accentuating the human influence from the upper to the lower reach results in inconsistent correlations between sediment load and streamflow. Decreasing sediment load being observed in recent years has the potential to alter the topographical properties of the river channel and the consequent development and recession of the Yangtze Delta. Results of this study are of practical significance for river channel management and evaluation of the influence of human activities on the hydrological regimes of large rivers.

地层承压能力固井前动态测试方法

固井前获得地层的实际承压能力,对固井设计和安全都有着重要的意义。在一些上层套管下深较浅的井中,受上层套管鞋处地层破裂压力或上层套管抗内压强度限制,常规的地层承压能力测试无法满足固井要求,针对该问题,文中提出一种地层承压能力动态测试方法,同时进行了现场应用。该方法是在下套管循环后分挡逐渐增加排量,并同时记录与之对应的泵压、钻井液性能及漏失情况,然后利用流变学的原理计算出关键地层深度的承压能力。研究认为这种动态承压测试方法对于低压易漏井行之有效,实用性强,能够满足固井现场对承压能力测试的要求,获得的地层承压能力值为固井设计和安全提供了基础和保障。     

基于钢筋混凝土足尺柱拟静力试验的离线模型更新混合试验方法

离线模型更新混合试验对构件拟静力数据进行恢复力模型参数识别,并更新数值子结构中相应构件的模型参数来提高混合试验精度,但该方法尚缺少真实试验的验证。本文基于课题组开展的足尺RC柱拟静力试验,取恢复力模型为集中塑性铰Ibarra-Medina-Krawinkler（IMK）模型,进行框架结构离线模型更新混合试验研究。结果表明,当物理子结构取为RC足尺柱时,离线模型更新混合试验能获得接近于真实试验情况下结构的地震响应,从而对该方法的有效性进行了试验验证。利用IMK经验公式,将真实试验模型参数识别值按轴压比进行对照修正,应用于不同层数的框架结构地震响应模拟,实现了试验数据的重复利用。

Prediction of pile response to lateral spreading by 3-D soil–water coupled dynamic analysis: Shaking in the direction perpendicular to ground flow

The 1995 Kobe earthquake seriously damaged numerous buildings with pile foundations adjacent to quay walls. The seismic behavior of a pile group is affected by movement of quay walls, pile foundations, and liquefied backfill soil. For such cases, a three-dimensional (3-D) soil–water coupled dynamic analysis is a promising tool to predict overall behavior. We report predictions of large shake table test results to validate 3-D soil–water coupled dynamic analyses, and we discuss liquefaction-induced earth pressure on a pile group during the shaking in the direction perpendicular to ground flow. Numerical analyses predicted the peak displacement of footing and peak bending moment of the group pile. The earth pressure on the pile in the crustal layer is most important for the evaluation of the peak bending moment along the piles. In addition, the larger curvatures in the bending moment distribution along the piles at the water side in the liquefied ground were measured and predicted.
