降雨入渗条件下粗粒土路堤暂态饱和区发展规律及稳定性研究

为了分析降雨入渗条件下粗粒土路堤暂态饱和区发展规律及稳定性,结合工程实际及气象资料,通过拟定不同的降雨计算方案,采用饱和-非饱和渗流理论对粗粒土路堤边坡在不同降雨条件下雨水入渗过程进行数值模拟.研究结果表明:降雨过程中路堤边坡表面会形成一定范围的暂态饱和区,暂态饱和区的形成及发展过程与降雨强度及降雨时间密切相关;降雨入渗仅会引起路堤边坡坡面以下水位线的大幅上升,对路堤中部地下水位线影响较小;降雨停止后,路堤上部暂态饱和区迅速消散,而路堤中下部暂态饱和区消散过程则表现出明显的滞后特征,但总体而言暂态饱和区的面积呈下降趋势;降雨入渗将导致入渗区域内基质吸力的丧失与含水率的增加,是造成路堤边坡稳定性降低的主要因素,路堤的失稳形式表现为整体滑移与表面局部坍塌相结合.     

Wharf embankment and strengthening program at the Port of Oakland

The wharf and embankment strengthening program (WESP) is a structural modification project involving approximately 12,000 linear feet of pile-supported, marginal wharf structures. WESP is necessary because the Port of Oakland plans to deepen its berths from −42′ mean lower low water (MLLW) to −52′ MLLW, in conjunction with a Federal Government-sponsored channel dredging project. Unless they are structurally reinforced prior to the dredging, the waterfront components (i.e. wharves and embankments) will be weakened by the berth deepening project. WESP is a three-phase program that establishes the existing structural and seismic capacities of waterfront components, develops designs for improvements necessary to maintain these capacities after the berth deepening, and constructs the improvements. WESP also includes consideration of seismic upgrade improvements. The Port is currently completing the first phase of the WESP program. This paper will describe the design criteria, project phasing, construction type of waterfront components, project organization, and results to date for WESP.     

一种新型掺气设施的试验研究

设置在泄洪洞竖井内的环形掺气设施是不同于传统掺气技术的新创意。为了更好地认识这种新型的掺气技术,基于公伯峡水平旋流泄洪洞原型和模型试验,对环形掺气坎的通风和掺气特性进行了研究。结果表明环形通气孔的通风是由通气孔进出口的压差引起的,通风量与相对空腔长度的关系服从线性分布;环形掺气坎掺气减蚀的作用明显,其掺气是由于射流冲击竖井水体形成大尺度旋涡并挟带气泡所致,且掺气浓度沿高程呈乘幂分布;模型通风和掺气特性的缩尺效应明显。在结构设计满足要求的前提下,有必要在旋流泄洪洞的竖井段设置掺气设施,可改善水流流态,并增加消能效果。     

Effect of abutment modeling on the seismic response of bridge structures

Abutment behavior significantly influences the seismic response of certain bridge structures. Specifically in the case of short bridges with relatively stiff superstructures typical of highway overpasses, embankment mobilization and inelastic behavior of the soil material under high shear deformation levels dominate the response of the bridge and its column bents. This paper investigates the sensitivity of bridge seismic response with respect to three different abutment modeling approaches. The abutment modeling approaches are based on three increasing levels of complexity that attempt to capture the critical components and modes of abutment response without the need to generate continuum models of the embankment, approach, and abutment foundations. Six existing reinforced concrete bridge structures, typical of Ordinary Bridges in California, are selected for the analysis. Nonlinear models of the bridges are developed in OpenSees. Three abutment model types of increasing complexity are developed for each bridge, denoted as roller, simplified, and spring abutments. The roller model contains only single-point constraints. The spring model contains discrete representations of backfill, bearing pad, shear key, and back wall behavior. The simplified model is a compromise between the efficient roller model and the comprehensive spring model. Modal, pushover, and nonlinear dynamic time history analyses are conducted for the six bridges using the three abutment models for each bridge. Comparisons of the analysis results show major differences in mode shapes and periods, ultimate base shear strength, as well as peak displacements of the column top obtained due to dynamic excitation. The adequacy of the three abutment models used in the study to realistically represent all major resistance mechanisms and components of the abutments, including an accurate estimation of their mass, stiffness, and nonlinear hysteretic behavior, is evaluated. Recommendations for abutment modeling are made.

陡坡路堤土工格栅加筋机制与合理铺设参数研究

土工格栅加筋作用机理复杂,测试难度大,结合土工格栅加筋陡坡路堤工程,开展了现场变形监测,并针对土工格栅特点,用非线性有限元方法进行了数值计算。试验和计算分析表明：铺设土工格栅能有效地限制路堤沉降与坡脚水平位移,保证路堤的稳定性。数值计算结果与现场监测结果吻合较好,据此分析了土工格栅长度、弹性模量及铺设间距与路堤变形的关系,土工格栅弹性模量越大,加筋效果越好。有效而经济的土工格栅长度是6.5 m,铺设间距是0.6 m。     

桩板结构路基动力模型试验研究

桩板结构路基是高速铁路无碴轨道的一种新的路基结构形式,基于Bockingham π定理,采用量纲分析方法,确定了桩板结构路基模型的动力相似常数,通过室内大比例动态模型试验研究,分析了在循环加载的条件下浸水前、后桩板结构路基的动态力学特性。试验结果表明,路基动应力沿深度逐渐衰减,激振频率对动应力的影响不太明显;路基边坡浸水后,在相同加载频率下,动应力比浸水前略有增大;桩基加深了路基的动力影响范围,改善了路基土体部分的受力状态;桩底持力层受动力影响较大,是动力设计的关键环节之一。     

某土石坝心墙料和坝基料动模量阻尼特性的试验研究

土石坝震害将导致严重后果,目前国内外修筑于地震区的土石坝在抗震设计时都进行了动力分析。室内动力试验提供土石料可靠的动强度和动力参数是土石坝地震动力分析准确性的关键。水牛家心墙土石坝坝高100多米,大坝设防烈度9度,采用动三轴仪,对其坝基②层细砂砾料和心墙防渗土料进行大量的动力特性试验研究,分析两种土料的动模量阻尼特性,并简述其影响因素。分析试验结果有：使用一个试样完成三个不同的围压力?3c或固结比Kc,与《土工试验规程》推荐方法相比,大大减小了试验和分析工作量, 且有相当的规律性和准确程度;动模量阻尼比的主要影响因素是动应变幅、围压力、固结主应力比、孔隙比等。动应变水平影响动模量阻尼成倍增减,动模量随围压力?3c增减而增减,阻尼比D随?3c的升高而略有减小,动模量和阻尼比随固结比Kc增减而增减,Kc从1到2可使心墙土料的Edmax增加60％左右;土类不同,模量阻尼也不尽相同。水牛家心墙料的动模量较高,阻尼比较小,不易产生动力破坏。     

斜井送排式通风隧道的火灾救援通风研究

公路隧道发生火灾开启横通道后,形成通风网络。本文以重庆地区吕家梁隧道为工程依托,进行了斜井前后不同位置发生火灾的通风网络模拟。结果表明,斜井前发生火灾时,受斜井浮力效应、风流密度变化等的影响,主风机的工作压力降低,而体积流量增加;当火灾发生在斜井前隧道时,采用斜井单抽方式可实现全部火灾烟流从竖井中排除,斜井前设射流风机增压调节、斜井后设射流风机增阻调节是一较好方案;对于斜井后发生火灾,采用全射流火灾通风和斜井压入两种通风方案均能满足火灾风流控制要求,虽然后者需要开启轴流风机,通风能耗大,但火灾通风的时效性要好于前者。
