双重眼壁台风大风降水对比分析

通过利用多普勒雷达图、OLR日平均场、环境场和比湿场等资料对7514(ELSIE)、7908(HOPE)、0313(Dujuan)号台风进行对比诊断分析。结果表明3个双重眼壁台风都有规则和紧凑的螺旋云带，外围的云带范围小、副高强盛、登陆前850hPa西南风没加强等等，都是造成台风风大而且影响范围广，降水量偏少的原因；OLR场分布与降水场分布的同时对应关系很好，OLR低中心最终没移至陆上，因此陆上降水偏少；台风OLR低中心移向陆地的地点与强降水中心基本相符；登陆时台风中心比湿值、等值线的梯度越大、移速的越慢，则降水时间越长、雨强越大。降水越集中。     

Confidence level-based robust design of cantilever retaining walls in sand

Reliability-based geotechnical design entails accurate sample statistics (i.e., mean and standard deviation or coefficient of variation, denoted herein as cov) of soil parameters. However, the cov values of soil parameters are difficult to determine with confidence due to the limited availability of high-quality data and inherent spatial variability. As a result, estimated cov values of soil parameters can vary within a wide range, which can result in overdesign or underdesign. In this paper, a confidence level (CL)-based method is proposed to address the problem of geotechnical design in the face of uncertainty. Here, CL is a measure of confidence that the target reliability index will be satisfied in the face of uncertainty in the estimated cov. The proposed method is demonstrated through the design of a cantilever retaining wall in sand. To ensure the practicality of the proposed method, a simplified approach was developed, which requires little extra effort over that required for traditional reliability-based design. To develop the CL-based method further, a metric called the “true reliability index” is proposed, which is the actual reliability index in the face of the uncertainty in the estimated parameter statistics (mainly cov).     

On Plane Symmetric Domain Walls and Cosmic Strings in Bimetric Theory

Plane symmetric thick domain walls and cosmic strings are considered in Rosen's (General Relativity and Gravitation 4, 435, 1973) bimetric theory of gravitation. It is shown that, in this theory, thick domain walls and cosmic strings do not exist. Hence, the vacuum solutions in both the cases are presented. PACS No.:98.80     

Reliability-based design and its complementary role to Eurocode 7 design approach

Reliability-based design (RBD) can play a useful complementary role to overcome some limitations in the Eurocode 7 (EC7) design approach, for example in situations with parameters not covered in EC7, different parametric sensitivities across different problems, cross-correlated or spatially correlated parameters, design aiming at a target reliability or failure probability, or when uncertainty in unit weight of soil is modeled. The complementary role played by RBD under these circumstances is illustrated and discussed for a shallow foundation, a reinforced rock slope, a Norwegian clay slope with spatial variability, a laterally loaded pile requiring implicit numerical analysis, and an anchored sheet pile wall. A pragmatic RBD approach involving first-order reliability method (FORM) only and a more rigorous RBD approach involving both first-order and second-order reliability method (SORM) are offered. Both approaches are implementable using either spreadsheet-based FORM and SORM procedures, or using various commercially available FORM/SORM packages.     

基于主应力迹线分层的有限土体土压力计算

为了研究挡墙后有限土体的主动土压力,以墙后无黏性土体为研究对象,假定破裂面为通过墙踵的平面,且在挡墙平动模式下,墙后土体形成圆弧形小主应力拱。采用沿小主应力迹线分层的方法,将挡墙后土体划分为若干个圆弧形曲线薄层单元,考虑了单元体上下表面应力分布的不均匀性,提出了一种有限土体挡墙主动土压力计算方法,给出了主动土压力合力及其作用点高度的表达式,并验证了该方法的正确性。研究结果表明：采用曲线薄层单元法可以准确考虑单元体复杂的受力情况,能更好地反映挡墙后有限土体主动土压力的变化规律;有限填土时主动土压力沿墙高 呈非线性分布,土压力先随着土体深度增加呈单调递增趋势,然后在接近墙底位置处呈单调递减趋势。分析参数敏感性时取不同土体宽高比与墙背粗糙程度对挡墙主动土压力分布及合力作用点高度进行分析,结果表明：随着土体宽高比n的增大,主动土压力值逐渐增大,土压力分布曲线非线性越来越明显,合力作用点高度逐渐降低且恒大于 。当 0.71时,均趋于稳定。可将 0.71作为有限土体与半无限土体的临界宽高比。随着摩擦角 的增大,主动土压力值逐渐减小,土压力分布曲线非线性越来越明显,合力作用点高度逐渐增大且恒大于 。

悬臂式支护结构是基坑工程中常用的支护形式,多以排桩、地下连续墙、工法桩、钢板桩等形式出现。基坑工程中在条件受限的情况下,无法做内撑,但周边部分建（构）筑物对基坑变形很敏感,需要采取一些辅助措施来控制基坑的变形。结合工程实例介绍了悬臂式支护结构中常用的几种控制变形的方法,包括双排桩外拉、锚杆（索）加固、基坑内斜撑、基坑内土加固、坑内预留反压土等,并对这几种方法的适用范围、技术要求等进行了分析,为今后类似工程的设计施工提供借鉴。     

Finite element simulations of seismic effects on retaining walls with liquefiable backfills

Finite element simulations of two centrifuge tests on the same cantilever retaining wall model holding liquefiable backfill were conducted using the Biot formulation‐based program DIANA–SWANDYNE II. To demonstrate the effects due to different pore fluids in seismic centrifuge experiments, water was used as the pore fluid in one experiment whereas a substitute pore fluid was used in the second experiment. The cantilever wall model parameters were determined by comparing simulations with measurements from free‐vibration tests performed on the model wall without backfill. The initial stress conditions for dynamic analysis for the soil backfill were obtained by simulating static loads on the retaining wall from the soil backfill. Level‐ground centrifuge model results were used to select the parameters of the Pastor–Zienkiewicz mark III constitutive model used in the dynamic simulations of the soil. The effects due to different pore fluids were captured well by the simulations. The magnitudes of excess pore pressures in the soil, lateral thrust and its line of action on the wall, and wall bending strains, deflections, and accelerations were predicted well. Predictions of settlements and accelerations in the backfill were less satisfactory. Relatively high levels of Rayleigh damping were needed to be used in the retaining wall simulations in order to obtain numerically stable results, which is one of the shortcomings of the model. The procedure may be used for engineering purpose dealing with seismic analysis of flexible retaining walls where lateral pressures, bending strains and deflections in the wall are typically of importance.

Force‐displacement model for solid confined masonry walls with shear‐dominated failure mode

This paper addresses the behavior of confined masonry walls with dominating shear failure mode in walls. For this purpose, failure modes of these walls are classified in details. For each failure mode, complete set of analytical‐based relations for deriving parameters related to backbone curves is introduced. Calibrated finite element analyses are utilized as a benchmark for verification of some of the assumptions. The results of the proposed relations are compared with those of several Iranian and non‐Iranian experimental data. Sensitivity analysis is performed in order to understand the effects of important behavioral characteristics of these walls. The results of this study indicate that the proposed relations can accurately simulate behavior of confined masonry walls with dominating shear failure mode regardless of the failure mode in the ties. Moreover, it is concluded that the detailing limitations given in the Iranian Seismic Code are rationally compatible with the behavioral characteristics of confided masonry walls. The results of this study in terms of backbone curves can be utilized as the complementary part to this code. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

地震作用下重力式挡土墙土压力特性数值模拟研究

重力式挡土墙在地震作用下的土压力特性一直是挡土墙设计的重要内容。本文通过数值模拟,在挡土墙墙背轴线上设置一系列监测点,得到地震过程中监测点的加速度、土压力强度时程曲线;然后根据时程曲线分析墙后土压力强度分布特征、根据土压力强度分布求出总土压力、根据总土压力求出其对墙趾的力矩;最后分别将土压力强度分布、总土压力、总土压力对墙趾的力矩与现有的研究方法及规范对比。结果表明:地震作用下墙背各点加速度峰值在同时刻发生,但土压力峰值不在同时刻发生;现有的一些研究方法未考虑土压力强度峰值时程变化,其结果比实际偏大;在低地震烈度条件下,规范计算的总土压力及倾覆力矩偏于保守,而在高烈度条件下则偏于危险。
