The pull-out resistance of reinforcing elements is one of the most significant factors in increasing the bearing capacity
of geosynthetic reinforced soils. In this research a new reinforcing element that includes elements (anchors) attached to
ordinary geogrid for increasing the pull-out resistance of reinforcements is introduced. Reinforcement therefore consists
of geogrid and anchors with cubic elements that attached to the geogrid, named (by the authors) Grid-Anchor. A total of 45
load tests were performed to investigate the bearing capacity of square footing on sand reinforced with this system. The effect
of depth of the first reinforcement layer, the vertical spacing, the number and width of reinforcement layers, the distance
that anchors are effective, effect of relative density, low strain stiffness and stiffness after local shear were investigated.
Laboratory tests showed that when a single layer of reinforcement is used there is an optimum reinforcement embedment depth
for which the bearing capacity is the greatest. There also appeared to be an optimum vertical spacing of reinforcing layers
for multi-layer reinforced sand. The bearing capacity was also found to increase with increasing number of reinforcement layer,
if the reinforcement were placed within a range of effective depth. The effect of soil density also is investigated. Finally
the results were compared with the bearing capacity of footings on non-reinforced sand and sand reinforced with ordinary geogrid
and the advantages of the Grid-Anchor were highlighted. Test results indicated that the use of Grid-Anchor to reinforce the
sand increased the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow square footing by a factor of 3.0 and 1.8 times compared to that for
un-reinforced soil and soil reinforced with ordinary geogrid, respectively. 相似文献

Bearing capacity of two close strip footings on soft clay reinforced with geotextile 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
For many years ago, the beneficial effects of using reinforcement to improve the property of soil have been demonstrated. Over the last three decades, the use of polymeric reinforcement such as geotextile has increased in geotechnical engineering. Among the possible applications, earth reinforcement techniques have become useful and economical techniques to solve many problems in geotechnical engineering practice, such as improve the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of the footing. This research presents the effect of geotextile inclusion on the bearing capacity of two close strip footings located at the surface of soft clay. A broad series of finite element analysis were performed on two footings with width of 1 and 2 m using two-dimensional plane strain model using the computer code Plaxis (ver 8). Only one type of soft clay was used for the analysis, and the soil was represented by two yielding criteria including hardening soil model and Mohr–Coulomb model, while reinforcement was represented by elastic element, and at the interface between the reinforcements and soft clay, interface elements have been used. A wide range of boundary conditions, including unreinforced and reinforced cases, was analyzed by varying parameters such as number of geotextile layers, vertical spacing of layers, depth to topmost layer of geotextile, tensile stiffness of geotextile layers, and distance of between two footings. From numerical results, the bearing capacity ratio and the interference factor of the foundations have been estimated. On the basis of the analysis performed in this research, it can be concluded that there is a best distance between footings and optimum depth for topmost layer to achieve maximum bearing capacity for closely spaced strip footings. The bearing capacity was also found to increase with increasing number of reinforcement layers if the reinforcements were placed within a range of effective depths. In addition, the analysis indicated that increasing reinforcement stiffness beyond a threshold value does not result in a further increase in the bearing capacity. 相似文献

Piles are frequently used to transfer the heavy compressive loads to strong soil layers located in the depth of bed. In addition, such piles may be subjected to combination of repeated compressive and tensile loads due to earthquake, wind, etc. This paper describes a series of laboratory model tests, at unit gravity, performed on belled pile, embedded in unreinforced and geocell-reinforced beds. The tests were performed to evaluate the beneficial effect of geocell in decreasing the downward and upward displacements and performance improvement of the uplift response of belled pile under repeated compressive and tensile loads. Pile displacements due to fifty load repetitions were recorded. The influence of the height of geocell above the bell of pile, an additional geocell layer at the base of belled pile, and the number of load cycles on pile displacements were investigated. The test results show that the geocell reinforcement reduces the magnitude of the final upward displacement. It also acts as a displacement retardant, and changes the behaviour of belled pile from unstable response condition due to excessive upward pile displacement in unreinforced bed to approximately steady response condition. Therefore, the geocell reinforcement permits higher tensile loads or increased cycling. The efficiency of reinforcement in reducing the maximum upward displacement of the pile (i.e. pull-out resistance) was increased by increasing the height of geocell above the bell of the pile. Furthermore, the comparison showed that a specific improvement in upward and downward displacement and the stability against uplift can be achieved using an additional geocell layer at the base. The geocell reinforcement may reduce the required length of pile shaft, consequently reducing required excavation, backfill, and pile’s material. Simple dimensional analysis showed the need for an increased stiffness of the geosynthetic components in order to match prototype-scale performance similitude. 相似文献

Summary Finite element analyses were conducted to investigate the magnitude of tensile strains imposed on landfill liners due to the
formation of subsurface cavities. The study incorporated the significance of using geogrids to reduce the magnitude of strains
and possibly the potential for collapse of landfill liners. Variations of key parameters included depth of overburden (D) and diameter of the cavity (B). Estimated stress distributions were compared to theoretical values obtained from a model reported in the literature.
Results indicated that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the critical area based on the mechanics of arching was above the
edge of the cavity where stress concentration occurred. Incorporation of geogrid reinforcement reduced the magnitude of tensile
strains. The tensile force in the geogrid was dependent upon the size of the cavity, the depth of the overburden, and the
applied pressure. 相似文献

在对半挖半填路堤病害及成因分析的基础上,分析了加筋路堤格栅工作机制。通过现场试验,对采用格栅加筋法处理的路堤挖填交界区域进行了原位观测,观测了路堤填土完成时路面沉降、竖向土压力及格栅变形情况。通过建立有限元分析模型,对路堤填筑完成时格栅的拉力及位移进行了分析,并对不同路面荷载和格栅刚度条件下,格栅的拉力与位移进行了计算。结果表明：路堤挖填交界处铺设格栅后,路面局部差异沉降较小。填方区域格栅底部土压力与填土自重应力相当,格栅存在有效加筋长度,在挖填交界面附近产生较大变形和拉力。上层格栅比下层格栅沉降曲线平缓,下层格栅的拉力在交界区域会陡然增大。路面荷载对格栅拉力和位移有一定影响,随埋深增加影响减小,格栅的竖向位移随着荷载增大略有增大,格栅在挖填交界面附近拉力增大。随格栅刚度增大,其拉力也增大,而位移变化很小。 相似文献

This paper presents results of meticulous laboratory testing and numerical simulations on the effect of reinforcement on the
low-strain stiffness and bearing capacity of shallow foundations on dry sand. The effect of the location and the number of
reinforcement layers is studied in the laboratory, whereas numerical simulations are used to study the reinforcement-foundation
interaction. Laboratory tests show an increase of 100, 200, and 275% not only in bearing capacity but also in low-strain stiffness
(linear load–displacement behaviour) of a square foundation when one, two, and three layers of reinforcement are used, respectively.
The specimen preparation technique is found to be crucial for the repeatability and reliability of the laboratory results
(less than 5% variability). Numerical simulations demonstrate that if reinforcements are placed up to a depth of one footing
width (B) below the foundation, better re-distribution of the load to deeper layers is achieved, thus reducing the stresses and strains
underneath the foundation. Numerical simulations and experimental results clearly identify a critical zone between 0.3 and
0.5B, where maximum benefits not only on the bearing capacity but also on the low-strain stiffness of the foundation are obtained.
Therefore, soil reinforcement can also be used to reduce low-strain vibrations of foundations. 相似文献

本文采用物理机制模型、数值模拟和理论计算相结合,分析研究了顺层斜坡滑移-弯曲变形机制,提出了顺层斜坡产生滑移-弯曲变形的地质和力学条件、临溃状态判别与早期识别标志。研究认为:岩层倾角20是滑移-弯曲变形产生的必要地质条件。斜坡前缘岩层弯曲隆起是临溃状态的早期判识标志。岩层倾角、单层厚度、临界坡长和溃屈深度之间相互制约和影响。岩层倾角越大,越易产生溃屈,且溃屈层数和深度越大;斜坡临界坡长与岩层倾角呈负幂函数变化规律;层间黏结作用产生的共弯效应影响弯曲岩层的整体抗弯刚度,从而制约溃屈深度并对斜坡最终溃屈状态起着决定性作用。该成果对于早期防范和识别地质灾害具有重要价值。 相似文献

沿海吹填砂土地基地下水位较高、常含软土夹层,地基处理难度大。为了研究高能级强夯在这类吹填砂土地基上的加固效果,在山东沿海某吹填砂土场地开展6 000和8 000 kN·m能级强夯加固试验。试验结束后分别运用标准贯入试验、静力触探试验、平板载荷试验进行现场检测。通过对比分析了设计要求深度范围内标准贯入试验和静力触探试验,发现夯前夯后标准贯入试验击数和静力触探锥尖试验阻力均明显提升,有效消除了饱和砂土和饱和粉土的液化势;通过平板载荷试验p-s曲线及夯后静力触探锥尖阻力标准值与承载力特征值的关系式,得到夯后砂土地基承载力特征值≥120 kPa,验证了高能级强夯方案的可行性。其次,对软土夹层位置和地下水位高度展开研究,发现软土层会阻碍夯击能传递,减小强夯有效加固深度,且软土层位置不同对强夯加固效果影响程度不同,强夯影响临界范围处存在软土层时,有效加固深度为软土层顶部位置处;对砂土地基进行4 000 kN·m能级强夯试验时,发现未降水强夯后有效加固深度为5 m,降水至地面以下3 m强夯后有效加固深度达到了7 m,提高了加固效果。在高能级强夯研究基础上,对现场吹填砂土地基进行了75万m2的大面积高能级强夯施工,发现处理后地基能够满足建筑用地要求。 相似文献

Equivalent Continuum Simulations of Geocell Reinforced Sand Beds Supporting Strip Footings 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This paper presents an equivalent continuum method for simulating the behaviour of geocell reinforced sand foundation beds,
using finite element technique. An equivalent composite model is used for numerically simulating the improvement in the strength
and stiffness of sand confined with geocells. Shear strength of geocell encased sand is derived from the additional confining
pressure due to geocell using hoop tension theory. The stiffness of geocell encased sand is represented by an empirical equation
in terms of the stiffness of the unreinforced sand and the tensile modulus of the geocell material. Numerical simulations
of strip footings resting on sand bed are carried out with and without geocell layer, varying parameters like, the dimensions
of geocell layer, pocket size, depth of placement of geocell layer and the tensile modulus of the geocell material. The results
of numerical analyses are validated with the corresponding experimental results. The comparison between the numerical results
and the experimental results is found to be reasonably good. Some significant observations on the mechanism of geocell reinforcement
have been presented in this paper. 相似文献

Soil desiccation cracking is important for a range of engineering applications, but the theoretical advancement of this process is less than satisfactory. In particular, it is not well understood how the crack spacing-to-depth ratio depends on soil material behaviour. In the past, two approaches, namely stress relief and energy balance, have been used to predict the crack spacing-to-depth ratio. The current paper utilises these two approaches to predict the approximate spacing-to-depth ratio of parallel cracks that form in long desiccating soil layers subjected to uniform tensile stress (or suction profile) while resting on a hard base. The theoretical developments have examined the formation of simultaneous and sequential crack patterns and have identified an important relationship between the stress relief and energy approaches. In agreement with experimental observations, it was shown that the spacing-to-depth ratio decreases with layer depth, and crack spacing generally increases with layer depth. The influence of the stiffness at the base interface indicated that decreasing the basal interface stiffness makes the crack spacing to increase in sequential crack formation. The experimental observations also show a decrease in cracking water content with the decrease in layer thickness, and this behaviour was explained on the basis of a critical depth concept. 相似文献

In this paper, considering the plain strain conditions, a numerical study has been conducted to investigate the behavior of
multi layer geosynthetic-reinforced granular bed overlying a soft soil using the Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC)
program. The granular fill, soft soil, and geosynthetic reinforcements are considered as linear elastic materials. The geosynthetic
reinforcements are modeled as cable elements fully bonded with the surrounding soil, thus neglecting any slip. The results
obtained from the present investigation showed very close agreement when compared with the results of finite element analysis
and lumped parameter modeling. The distribution of vertical, lateral and shear stresses in the soil are greatly affected as
the number of reinforcement layers is increased. If the tensile stiffness of geosynthetic layers increases and its value is
no more than 4,000–5,000 kN/m, the settlement of the reinforced foundation decreases significantly. The reduction in settlement
is insignificant when the tensile strength of the geosynthetics exceed the above value. 相似文献

This paper presents the experimental results from laboratory repeated plate load tests on unreinforced and reinforced model sections of unpaved road constructed in a steel test tank. Different types of geosynthetics, namely, geotextile, two types of biaxial geogrids and geocells were used to reinforce the road sections in different tests. The effect of type and form of reinforcement on the stress-strain hysteresis of unpaved road sections is discussed in the light of experimental results. Model tests were also conducted with varying heights and positions of geocell layer to study the effect of these parameters on deformations and surface profiles. It was observed that at higher settlements, the reinforced systems developed less permanent settlements and more elastic settlements compared to unreinforced systems. Increasing the height of the geocell layer resulted in improved performance up to a certain height, beyond which, further increase in the height reduced the load resistance because of the inadequate granular overlay thickness. 相似文献

A piled raft foundation comprises both piles and a pile cap that itself transmits load directly to the ground. The aim of such a foundation is to reduce the number of piles compared with a more conventional piled foundation where the bearing effect of the pile cap, or raft, is ignored. This paper describes a ‘hybrid’ approach for the analysis of piled raft foundations, based on a load transfer treatment of individual piles, together with elastic interaction between different piles and with the raft. The numerical analysis is used to evaluate a simple approximate method of estimating the overall response of the foundation from the response of the component parts. The method leads to estimates of the overall foundation stiffness, the proportion of load carried by the pile group and the raft, and an initial assessment of differential settlements. Parametric studies are presented showing the effect of factors such as raft stiffness and pile spacing, length and stiffness, and a worked example is included demonstrating the accuracy of the approximate design approach. 相似文献

液化临界值与砂层深度的关系是液化判别方法的基本表征,但对比分析表明,现有液化判别方法的临界曲线有不同的表现模式,甚至定性相反。以Seed-Idriss模型为基础,推导出了砂层埋深对液化势影响的理论解答,提出了砂层埋深与液化临界值的普遍关系,得到了液化判别临界曲线的变化模式和一般规律。结果表明：一般而言,随砂层深度增加,水平地震剪应力和土体抗液化强度同时增大,但前者增大速率大于后者,液化势及液化临界值与砂层深度呈正相关关系;液化临界值与砂层深度呈非线性递增关系,浅埋处饱和砂层液化势递增较为剧烈,深埋处趋于平缓;我国规范CPT液化判别公式的液化临界值与砂层深度呈递减关系,存在定性错误,需要纠正;现有一些液化判别公式中,液化临界值与砂层深度呈线性递增关系,定性正确但模型需要改进。所得结果可为液化判别方法正确发展提供理论基础和借鉴。 相似文献
