Numerous approaches exist for the prediction of the settlement improvement offered by the vibro-replacement technique in weak or marginal soil deposits. The majority of the settlement prediction methods are based on the unit cell assumption, with a small number based on plane strain or homogenisation techniques. In this paper, a comprehensive review and assessment of the more popular settlement prediction methods is carried out with a view to establishing which method(s) is/are in best agreement with finite element predictions from a series of PLAXIS 2D axisymmetric analyses on an end-bearing column. The Hardening Soil Model in PLAXIS 2D has been used to model the behaviour of both the granular column material and the treated soft clay soil. This study has shown that purely elastic settlement prediction methods overestimate the settlement improvement for large modular ratios, while the methods based on elastic–plastic theory are in better agreement with finite element predictions at higher modular ratios. In addition, a parameter sensitivity study has been carried out to establish the influence of a range of different design parameters on predictions obtained using a selection of elastic–plastic methods. 相似文献

While it is well established that vibro stone columns reduce primary settlement and improve bearing capacity, their effect on creep compression has largely been overlooked to date. However, with increasing pressure to develop marginal sites underlain by soft organic soils, the effect of ground treatment on creep is an important emerging issue in geotechnical engineering. In this paper, a series of axisymmetric unit cell analyses have been carried out using the PLAXIS 2D finite element program in conjunction with the Soft Soil Creep (SSC) model. Examination of the evolution of settlement improvement factor with time has indicated that the presence of creep leads to a lower ‘total’ improvement factor than would be obtained for primary consolidation settlement alone. Separate ‘primary’ and ‘creep’ improvement factors have also been derived; the latter are much lower than the former, but are nevertheless greater than unity. Creep results in a stress transfer process; as the soil creeps, vertical stress is transferred from the soil to the stone column. The additional load carried by the column induces additional yielding and shear-plane formation in closely-spaced columns. The additional increment of stress transferred to the already yielded column reduces its efficacy. 相似文献

It has been widely accepted that reinforcement made of polyethylene and polypropylene is susceptible to creep and soil’s hydraulic conductivity varies with its void ratio. However, unfortunately there is no available sensitivity analysis on time-dependent embankment behaviour taking either reinforcement viscosity or time varying hydraulic conductivity of subsoil into consideration. The influence of geosynthetic reinforcement viscosity and decreasing hydraulic conductivity with consolidation on the time-dependent performance of embankments with floating columns is investigated using a fully 3D coupled model. For an embankment at the working height corresponding to a post-consolidation polypropylene geotextile strain of about 5%, it is shown that the assumption of constant hydraulic conductivity and the failure to consider the viscous behaviour of geosynthetic reinforcement can underestimate time-dependent embankment deformations (including differential crest settlement and horizontal toe movement). The effects of factors including the foundation soil, reinforcement stiffness, column stiffness, column spacing, column type (floating and fully penetrating), and construction rate, on the time-dependent behaviour of column supported embankments are explored. 相似文献

A parametric study of an embankment on soft soils reinforced with stone columns is performed using a computer program based
on the finite element method. The cylindrical unit cell formulation is used by modeling one column and its surrounding soft
soil with confined axisymmetric behaviour. The computer program incorporates the Biot consolidation theory (coupled formulation
of the flow and equilibrium equations) with constitutive relations simulated by the p–q–θ critical state model. The following parameters are analysed: the replacement area ratio, the deformability of the column
material, the thickness of the soft soil, the deformability of the fill and the friction angle of the column material. Based
on the results of this study, a new design method is proposed, relating the settlement improvement factor to the two factors
that revealed major influence: the replacement area ratio and the ratio between the deformability of the soft soil and the
deformability of the column material. 相似文献

This work studies the effect of the curing time on the creep behaviour of a stabilised soft soil, using volumetric and deviatoric creep laws associated with constitutive models. Results of unconfined compressive strength tests for several curing times are used to define the time evolution of the mechanical and creep properties. The models/creep laws are validated by oedometer and triaxial creep tests, for 28 and 90 days of curing. The long-term behaviour of an embankment built on a soft soil reinforced with deep mixing columns shows that the effect of curing time decreases the settlement and increases the improvement factor. 相似文献

In order to investigate the mechanism of the long-term settlement of road on the soft soil, an in situ measurement of a highway in southeast China was conducted during both the construction and post-construction stage. In the theoretical analysis, the long-term settlement of the pavement on thick soft soils was divided into three main components: the consolidation settlement, the creep deformation and the traffic load-induced deformation. The equivalent time line model based on the viscous–elastic–plastic theory was adopted to simulate the road settlement caused by the consolidation and creep of the subsoil. A cyclic strain accumulation model, which was obtained from laboratory tests of soil elements, was adopted to consider the road settlement induced by cyclic traffic loadings. A pavement dynamic response model was used to calculate the dynamic stresses in the subsoil generated by moving traffic loads when the road was open to service. It was found that the equivalent time line model combined with the cyclic strain accumulation model could predict the road settlement accurately at both the construction and post-construction stage. Numerical results showed that the traffic speed had limited effect on the post-construction road settlements for the speed range considered. The post-construction settlement of the road, mainly composed of the traffic-induced settlement and soil creep deformation, could be reduced significantly by increasing the embankment surcharge during the construction stage. The creep component accounted for over 10% of the total post-construction settlement, while the percentage of the creep deformation in total post-construction settlement decreased rapidly as the embankment surcharge increased. 相似文献

This paper presents the analysis of creep settlement of pile groups for line pile groups, square pile groups, and rectangular pile groups undergoing creep settlements over a period of time. The soil is treated as a viscoelastic material and is modeled using a three-parameter viscoelastic model. The damping component (dashpot) takes care of the permanent time-dependent deformations in three-parameter viscoelastic model. An approach suggested by Mindlin has been employed to calculate the stress distribution along the pile length in a group. The viscoelastic problem is converted into an elastic problem by the application of Laplace transform. Results in the form of variation of interaction factors for parameters such as pile length to diameter ratio, pile spacing, Poisson's ratio, and modulus ratio have been presented. Comparison has been made between interaction factors for piles groups undergoing immediate settlements and creep settlements. Finally, a typical predictive example has been presented for a 3 × 3 pile group showing creep settlement. The load rearrangement due to creep settlements causes about 5% to 35% increase in base resistance over time. Interaction factors for pile groups (2 × 1, 3 × 1, 2 × 2, and 3 × 2) undergoing creep settlement is about 15% to 55% higher than the interaction factors considering only the immediate settlements for pile group spacing less than or equal to 5d. 相似文献

A combined simulation–optimization-based methodology is proposed to identify the optimal design parameters for granular bed–stone column-improved soft soil. The methodology combines a finite difference-based simulation model and an evolutionary multiobjective optimization model. A combined simulation–optimization methodology is developed for two different formulations: (a) the minimization of maximum settlement and the minimization of differential settlement subject to stress constraints; (b) the minimization of maximum settlement, the minimization of differential settlement and the maximization of the degree of consolidation subject to stress constraints. The developed methodology is applied to an illustrative system. Different scenarios are evaluated to examine critical field conditions. The solution results show that the modular ratio and the ultimate stress carrying capacity of the stone column are the most important parameters for optimal design. The obtained results also show the potential applicability of the developed methodology. 相似文献

Loess covers about one-tenth of the world’s land area. While it is often used as embankment fill, loess is not an ideal construction material due to its wet collapsible nature, as it may cause significant embankment settlement and other related problems. Although explosive compaction (EC) technology has been used for many years, the challenges in experimental testing and theoretical analysis hinder its wider application. This paper contributes to the development of a design construction scheme of EC technology for loess embankment improvement through an integrated approach that involves finite element modeling, small-scale experiments, full-scale simulation and field implementation. In this study, a reliable finite element model is developed and validated through a small-scale experiment. The model is developed based on the software ANSYS/LS-DYNA®14.5 and takes into account the coupling between different materials (including soil, explosives, air and pavement). Critical performance factors such as the volume of the explosion cavity, the density of the compacted soil and the soil pressure can be obtained directly from the model. The model is then extended to simulate full-scale embankments. A sensitivity study is conducted to establish the correlations between the design parameters and the abovementioned performance factors. The relationships served as design guidelines for the successful implementation of the EC technique in an embankment section on the Cheng-Chao highway in China. The results demonstrated the feasibility of the EC technique as a ground improvement method for loess embankments, and it illustrated the effectiveness of the numerical method as a tool in design.

软土的固结与蠕变是土力学研究和工程建设中需要考虑的重点问题, 但是传统的固结理论, 例如太沙基固结理论没有考虑软土的流变特性, 对软土的次固结沉降无法做出准确的解释。为了研究软土的固结与蠕变以及次固结沉降特性, 掌握其应力和变形规律, 本文对传统的固结理论进行了改进。在太沙基一维固结理论的基础上, 利用次固结系数和修正的Singh-Mitchell经验蠕变模型, 建立了考虑次固结效应的一维流变固结微分方程。在太沙基三维固结理论和比奥固结理论的基础上, 利用修正的Singh-Mitchell经验蠕变模型, 建立了考虑次固结效应的三维流变固结微分方程。新建立的流变固结微分方程能够更加准确地反映软土固结和蠕变性状的应力-应变-时间关系, 为软土固结沉降研究提供新的理论依据。 相似文献

为了得到轻量土路基中央部位在长期荷载作用下的蠕变规律,通过单向固结蠕变试验,分析了不同含水率EPS颗粒轻量土、素土在不同轴向压力下的蠕变特性。研究表明:固定其他因素,轴向压力越大,含水率越高,土样蠕变变形越大。轻量土加载1d基本上可以达到总变形的93%～98%,蠕变变形具有明显的衰减特征。轻量土是一种结构性土体,与素土蠕变机理完全不同。当轴向压力小于压缩屈服应力时,轻量土蠕变变形主要是孔隙闭合、水分的排出、固体颗粒移动的结果;当压力大于压缩屈服应力时,轻量土土样原有结构被破坏,EPS颗粒自身会被压缩。基于土体衰减蠕变特征,本文依据双曲线模型建立了轻量土经验蠕变模型,基本上可以反映路基中央部位轻量土的蠕变规律,经验模型适用于轻量土条件为轴向压力小于土体压缩屈服应力。试验与理论计算分析表明,轻量土固结特性优于素土,路基沉降在施工过程中就可以达到稳定,运营期间的工后沉降基本可以忽略。 相似文献

This paper presents reliability analyses of soil nail walls against two external ultimate limit states, global and sliding stabilities, which are related to the external stability failures of soil nail walls. Reliability analyses are conducted using Monte Carlo simulation technique. Soil nailing is a popular retaining system in highway construction and slope stabilization, and its current design practice is still based on the working stress design. There remains a need to establish a more rational design framework—load and resistance factor design—based on the concept of limit state design and reliability analysis for soil nail walls. The development of load and resistance factor design approach must consider multiple ultimate limit states, associated with external, internal, and facing failures. The analyses of resistance factors against two external failures are conducted in this study considering various influencing factors, including statistical parameters of soil friction angle, ultimate bond strength between soil and nails, soil type, wall geometry (wall height, back slope angle, and face batter angle), and nail configurations (nail inclination angle, drillhole diameter, and nail spacing). In the end, a series of resistance factors are proposed for potential application of load and resistance factor design approach against external failures for soil nail walls according to different design codes. 相似文献

In the present work, a simplified model has been developed to study the behavior of stone column-supported embankment under axi-symmetric loading condition. The rate of consolidation of stone column-reinforced soft ground under axi-symmetric condition has also been presented in the paper. Mechanical model elements such as Pasternak shear layer, spring–dashpot system are used to model the different components such as granular layer, soft soil, stone columns etc. The governing differential equations are solved by finite difference technique. Parametric study has also been carried out to show the effect of different model variables on the settlement, stress concentration ratio of the foundation system. It is observed that for lower diameter ratio, at a particular time, the degree of consolidation predicted by the present method for axi-symmetric loading condition is almost same or lower than the degree of consolidation obtained by unit cell approach, but as the diameter ratio increases present analysis predicts higher degree of consolidation as compared to the unit cell approach. The maximum settlement decreases as the modular ratio increases and beyond the modular ratio value 30, the reduction rate of settlement decreases. 相似文献

Geosynthetic-reinforced and jet grout column-supported embankments on soft soils: Numerical analysis and parametric study 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Using a computer code based on the finite element method, a study is conducted to analyse the time-dependent behaviour of a geosynthetic-reinforced and jet grout column-supported embankment on soft soils, as well as the influence of three factors: the embankment height, the elastic modulus of column and the column spacing. The cylindrical unit cell formulation is used. The numerical model incorporates the Biot consolidation theory with soil constitutive relations simulated by the p–q–θ critical state model. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of several parameters: settlement, excess pore pressure, effective stress, stress level, tension in the geosynthetic, soil arching effect and overall efficiency coefficient. 相似文献

用碎石桩对软弱土进行地基处理是一种常用的地基处理方法,桩间土的固结问题是碎石桩复合地基中非常关注的问题,该问题在不同假设条件下的研究也取得了大量成果。在考虑桩土模量比（即应力状态稳定时的桩土应力比）及碎石桩面积置换率影响的前提下,基于等应变假设,将任意变荷载转化为傅里叶级数,从而推导出了变荷载作用下碎石桩桩间土固结解析解,给出了任意时刻桩土承担的应力变化关系,对现有理论进行了合理的修正。通过算例与现有理论对比分析表明,本算法合理可行,当碎石桩面积置换率及桩土模量比比较大时应该考虑其对固结的影响。此外,根据上述理论对Carrillo假设进行了分析,证明竖向和径向固结分别独立考虑的假设并不精确,但得出的总体规律与实际较为接近。 相似文献

Stone columns have been used as an effective technique for improving the engineering behaviour of soft clayey grounds and loose silt deposits. The soil improvement via stone columns are achieved from accelerating the consolidation of weak soil due to shortened drainage path, increasing the load carrying capacity and/or settlement reduction due to inclusion of stronger granular material. This paper discusses the techniques, methods of construction of stone columns, mechanisms of stone column behaviour under load and associated design philosophies along with some practical findings from recent research programs. 相似文献

This paper presents a new method proposed for the prediction of long term settlement of very heavy structures based on a numerical interpretation of long term pressuremeter creep tests. The constitutive model used for the modelling of the soil creep is described. The constants of the constitutive model are determined by fitting a simulated curve, given by a simple Finite Element Method, to the results of a long term pressuremeter creep test. The calculation of long term settlement under nuclear power plants, using the soil parameters defined by this method, is presented and compared with the in situ measured values. 相似文献
