This research was conducted to investigate the effect of matric suction on resilient modulus of unbound aggregate base courses. The study characterized the water characteristic curves and resilient modulus versus matric suction relationships of aggregate base courses that were compacted at different water contents and between 98 and 103 % of the modified Proctor density. The soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) and the relationship between resilient modulus (M r ) and matric suction (ψ) were established for different unbound granular and recycled asphalt pavement materials. This relationship is important for predicting changes in modulus due to changes in moisture of unbound pavement materials. Resilient modulus tests were conducted according to the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 1-28A procedure at varying water contents, and the measured SWCC was used to determine the corresponding matric suction. Three reference summary resilient moduli (SRM) were considered: at optimum water content, optimum water content +2 % and optimum water content ?2 %. The Bandia and Bargny limestones are characterized by a higher water-holding capacity which explains why the modulus of limestone was more sensitive to water content than for basalt or quartzite. Limestones tend to be more sensitive to changes in water content and thus to matric suction. The shape of the SWCC depends on the particle size distribution and the cementation properties from dehydration of the aggregates. Material properties required as input to the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-EPDG) to predict changes in resilient modulus in response to changes in moisture contents in the field were determined for implementation in the M-EPDG process. Results show that the SRM was more correlated with matric suction than with compaction water content (for resilient modulus testing). The empirical models commonly used to predict the SWCC such as the Perera et al. (Prediction of the SWCC based on grain-size-distribution and index properties. GSP 130 Advances in Pavement Engineering, ASCE, 2005) and the M-EPDG (NCHRP in Guide for mechanistic-empirical design of pavement structures. National cooperative highway research program. ARA, Inc., ERES Consultants Division, Champaign, IL, 2004) models tend to underestimate the SWCC and cannot provide reasonable estimation. SRM normalized with respect to the SRM at the optimum water content varied linearly with the logarithm of matric suction. Empirical relationships between SRM and matric suction on semi-logarithmic scale were established and are reported. 相似文献

Influence of Infiltration of Sodium Chloride Solutions on SWCC of Compacted Bentonite–Sand Specimens
The degree of saturation of compacted bentonite buffer in deep geological repositories is subject to alterations from infiltration of groundwater and heat emanated from the waste canisters. The matric suction (ψ)–degree of saturation (S r ) relations of unsaturated clays is represented by soil–water characteristics curves (SWCC) that are influenced by soil structure, initial compaction condition and stress history. Infiltration of groundwater besides increasing the degree of saturation can also alter the pore water chemistry; the associated changes in cation hydration and diffuse double layer thickness could impact the micro-structure and matric suction values. This study examines the influence of infiltrating sodium chloride solutions (1,000–5,000 mg/L) on the transient ψ–S r relations of compacted bentonite–sand specimens. Analysis of the ψ–S r plots, and X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that infiltration of sodium chloride solutions has progressively less influence on the micro-structure and SWCC relations of bentonite–sand specimens compacted to increasingly higher dry densities. The micro-structure and SWCC relations of specimens compacted to 1.5 Mg/m3 were most affected, specimens compacted to 1.75 Mg/m3 were less affected, while specimens compacted to 2 Mg/m3 remained unaffected upon infiltration with sodium chloride solutions. 相似文献

The site characterization of unsaturated soils is well stablished based on laboratory tests, which are expensive and time-consuming. In-situ testing methods, such as the flat dilatometer test (DMT), are an alternative to the traditional approach of drilling, sampling, and laboratory testing. The literature on DMT interpretation is well established on saturated and well-behaved soils. Only few studies deal with DMT interpretation in unusual soils, and little is known about the influence of soil suction on this test. This paper presents and discusses the influence of soil suction on four DMT campaigns carried out in an unsaturated tropical soil site, also incorporating the soil suction influence on the DMT interpretation. Soil suction was estimated by the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) and water content profiles. The water content profiles range from 11.3 to 19.7% which corresponds to a suction range estimated by SWCCs mostly between 6 and 200 kPa. Soil suction significantly influenced DMT data up to 5 m depth at the studied site (the unsaturated active zone) increasing the intermediate DMT parameters. The average horizontal stress index (KD) was equal to about 1.7 and the average dilatometer modulus (ED) was about 4.7 MPa in the active zone and practically doubled their values due to in situ soil suction. The estimated peak friction angle (?) was 20–30% higher due to soil suction influence on DMT assuming the soil behaves as a sand like material. Soil suction must be considered to assess the behavior of the investigated soil by the DMT. The suction influence should be incorporated in the effective stress and this approach considerably improved the site characterization of the studied site.

桂林红黏土的土-水特征曲线 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
采用压力板法、滤纸法和饱和盐溶液法3种方法,对压实桂林红黏土进行全吸力范围内的土-水特性量测,研究干密度对于土-水特征曲线的影响。试验结果表明：干密度1.4 g/cm3的压实桂林红黏土的进气值约为20 kPa;土-水特征曲线的过渡段与典型的土-水特征曲线不同,含水率或饱和度与吸力的对数坐标关系不是单一直线,而是出现了3段直线,并且中间一段平缓段下降斜率较小;当吸力增大到367 MPa时,含水率仅为0.74%,可认为如吸力继续增大至106 kPa时,含水率和饱和度为0;用吸力与含水率关系表示土-水特征曲线时,吸力较大时不同干密度的曲线重合,认为干密度对土-水特征曲线无影响。用吸力与饱和度关系表示土-水特征曲线时,在吸力较小时,干密度越大,对应的土-水特征曲线越高;当吸力较大时,不同干密度的土-水特征曲线几乎重合。 相似文献

The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC), also known as soil water retention curve (SWRC), describes the relationship between water content and soil suction in unsaturated soils. Water content and suction affect the permeability, shear strength, volume change and deformability of unsaturated soils. This paper presents results of the laboratory determination of the SWCC for soil samples obtained from the riverbank of the Lower Roanoke River in North Carolina. Six different testing methods were used to establish the SWCC including the filter paper, dewpoint potentiameter, vapor equilibrium, pressure plate, Tempe cell and osmotic methods. It is concluded that each suction measurement technique provides different measurable ranges of suction values, and the combined results from the different tests provide continuous SWCCs. Three widely available models were also shown to adequately fit the experimental SWCC data, particularly for matric suction values under 1500 kPa. These results will be valuable to practitioners in deciding which methods to use to establish the SWCC, and which empirical relationship to use for modeling the SWCC of riverbank soils. 相似文献

非饱和土土水特征曲线(SWCC)测试与预测 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
非饱和土土水特征曲线(SWCC)表示了土中含水量与吸力之间的关系。文章介绍了6种常用方法,各有其适用范围。体积压力板仪可量测最大基质吸力值为1500kPa的干燥曲线和浸湿曲线;超过1500kPa时,可用盐溶液法进行量测;Tem-ple仪可量测基质吸力达100kPa的干燥曲线;滤纸法可用于测量土体的基质吸力与总吸力;Dew-point电位计可用于量测土样总吸力变化,尤其适合渗透吸力的量测;TDR探头适合于量测小于300kPa的基质吸力。用GDS非饱和土三轴仪可以进行SWCC测试,测试范围主要取决于陶土板的进气值。用准确的数学模型对测得的含水量、吸力数据进行拟合,对于预测非饱和土力学性质、渗透系数、抗剪强度及分析边坡稳定性有重要意义。由于准确测试SWCC难度较大,并且测试影响因素较多,所以根据土体孔隙大小分布和颗粒大小分布情况预测SWCC,也是一种较好的方法。 相似文献

The quality of a numerical modeling solution of moisture flow through unsaturated soil, in part, depends on properly described
unsaturated soil properties. The variability of the Soil Water Characteristic Curve, SWCC, is attributed to hysteresis and
reproducibility of measurement. Because the unsaturated conductivity function is rarely directly measured, the variability
of the unsaturated soil hydraulic conductivity function is attributed to the uncertainty associated with the estimation of
this parameter with currently available fitting functions, and hence a range of reasonable variation was considered. One-dimensional
modeling of expansive soil under dry initial conditions (suction of 1,500 kPa) was performed; both potential evaporation and
infiltration boundary conditions were considered. It was found that small variations in the unsaturated soil hydraulic conductivity
function result in significantly different modeling outputs, as expected, while substential variation in SWCC alone (assuming
the same unsaturated soil hydraulic conductivity for all SWCCs) produced almost identical soil response in terms of soil suction
when the slope of the SWCC is similiar. Thus, proper characterization of the slope of the SWCC is important to proper suction
profile determination. 相似文献

This study was carried out to determine the effects of different land-use types on the properties of an Alfisol on the Jos Plateau, Nigeria. Areas being used for nature conservation (forest), grazing and maize cultivation were chosen, and the three are contiguous within a nearly level, moderately well-drained site. Within each of the three land-use areas, a plot of 30 x 20 m was chosen. Each plot was divided into 6 grids of 100 m2 size. Within each of these grids, four sampling sites were chosen by throwing up a coin four times. The four surface soil (0–5 cm depth) samples taken at the points where the coin landed, were mixed to form the composite sample, out of which sizeable portion was taken. This means that six soil samples were taken for each land use area (forest, grass, and cultivated). Same procedure was repeated for each of the following soil depths 5–15, 15–30 and 30–50 cm. Laboratory soil analyses were carried out while analysis of variance was used to test the significance of mean difference. The results show that forest clearing for grazing and maize cultivation has lead to significant decreases in most soil fertility variables. Organic matter levels of the grassland and cultivated soils are just about 28% and 13%, respectively, of that of the forest soil in the 0–5 cm depth, while they are 36% and 19%, respectively, in the 5–15 cm depth. Exchangeable cations and effective cation exchange capacity are also significantly higher in the forest soils. The effects are attributable to soil organic matter decomposition and nutrient removal resulting from forest clearance, maize cultivation and grazing. Hence, for sustained agricultural productivity, the soils require adequate inorganic and organic fertilizer additions together with appropriate cultural practices such as agroforestry, crop rotation and mixed cropping involving legumes. 相似文献

The leachate levels in the landfills in southern China are generally high. Field monitoring was carried out in the Suzhou landfill to investigate the leachate mound. The saturated hydraulic conductivity and soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) of municipal solid waste were measured using samples taken from different depths of the landfill. Field monitoring reveals that a perched leachate mound and a substantial main leachate mound existed in the landfill. The saturated hydraulic conductivities of wastes in shallow, middle and deep depth were measured to be 4.81 × 10?2, 3.50 × 10?3 and 3.56 × 10?4 cm/s, respectively. The results of SWCC tests show that the SWCC curve was steep when matric suction was low, and the shallower the waste the steeper would be the curve. In addition to the field and laboratory tests, an unsaturated–saturated seepage analysis was conducted to simulate the development of the high leachate mound and to calculate the annual leachate production. The simulated volumetric water content in the unsaturated zone was about 40 %, which agreed well with the test result. The calculated leachate mound was consistent with the field measurement. The calculated annual and daily leachate productions were all more reasonable than the results of the HELP model. 相似文献

干旱和半干旱黄土地区的压实土路基、垃圾填埋场黄土盖层等的持水特性和渗透特性均受温度影响。为了探究温度对全吸力范围内压实黄土水力特性的影响规律和内在机制,基于滤纸法和自行研发的小土柱试验装置对不同温度下延安新区压实黄土的土-水特征曲线(SWCC)以及渗透性曲线(HCC)进行测定。结果表明:在黄土SWCC的高吸力段体积含水率随温度升高而减小,低吸力段受温度影响不明显;黄土渗透曲线则是在低吸力段受温度影响显著,温度越高渗透性越强,当土体吸力增大或体积含水率减小至一定值后,温度对土体渗透性的影响可忽略不计。基于此结果,将改进的van Genuchten(VG)模型作为可考虑温度影响的SWCC预测函数,通过拟合实测数据得出温度相关参数并进行验证;对于渗透性曲线,以90 kPa基质吸力为分段点,在低吸力段和高吸力段分别采用统计模型和幂函数进行分段预测,能够得到与实测数据吻合较好的预测结果。 相似文献

击实黄土孔隙结构对土水特征的影响分析 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
土水特征曲线是非饱和土的基本土物理-力学关系,即将含水率这一物理参数转化为土粒间力的作用,土水特征曲线受土的结构控制。为了探讨击实黄土孔隙结构对土水特征曲线的影响,本文在3种不同的初始含水率（小于最优含水率8%、最优含水率17%和大于最优含水率19%）下制备不同结构的击实黄土试样,分别用压汞试验测其孔隙分布曲线,用滤纸法测其土水特征曲线,并用扫面电镜获得其微观结构图像。对以上测试结果的分析表明,3种击实土样的孔隙分布曲线在相应的大孔径范围内相差较大,在小孔径范围内趋于一致;土水特征曲线在低吸力区差异较大,小于最优含水率的击实黄土土水特征曲线最陡;在高吸力区,3种击实土样的土水特征曲线趋于一致,这与孔隙分布特征一致。对比孔隙密度分布曲线与土水特征区曲线发现,土的土水特征受孔隙分布的控制,孔隙密度越大,土水特征曲线的斜率越陡。SEM图像也显示出3种击实土样的结构特点,小于最优含水率的土样有较多架空孔隙,优势孔径最大;高于最优含水率的土样,大孔隙减少,小孔隙增多,优势孔径最小。而最优含水率的击实黄土的孔隙分布较均匀,优势孔径覆盖范围大。 相似文献

Soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) contains the fundamental information needed for describing the mechanical behavior of unsaturated soil. Some parameters such as air-entry value, slope at the inflection point, residual water content and residual suction are commonly used to describe the SWCC and other associated properties such as shear strength and permeability. Currently these parameters are determined using the graphical method which can be subjective and time consuming. Equations for determining these parameters are proposed and the relationships between SWCC parameters and fitting parameters are discussed in this paper. These equations can be used for computational analyses to replace the conventional graphical method in providing consistent results. 相似文献

土-水特征曲线是非饱和土入渗和流-固耦合分析的基础,目前该模型的研究成果由于试验方法和设备的局限,仅能够得到局部基质吸力段(低吸力或高吸力)的土-水特征曲线;而如何根据局部试验数据集推断与试验结果相吻合的全基质吸力段范围的土-水特征曲线是一个难题。对东南沿海广泛分布的原状残积土进行了不同基质吸力段的土-水特征试验。根据残积土低吸力段和高吸力段的试验数据,运用可靠度分析方法,从土壤孔隙微元破裂失稳的角度,建立了土壤全基质吸力段的土-水特征模型。根据UNSODA2.0数据库提取砂土、粉土、黏土等3种类型土样本(52个)的试验数据,讨论了模型参数意义和不同土类的模型适用性,进行了不同土-水特征模型的比较分析。对比验证研究表明,形状参数σ和中值比例参数μ使提出的模型具有很强的适应性,并且具有依据局部试验数据(低或高基质吸力段)快速获得全基质吸力段土壤土-水特征曲线的能力。与其它模型相比,模型计算过程适应性强,模型决定系数R2>0.98。研究结果对快速获取不同类型土壤的全基质吸力段土-水特征曲线具有参考价值。 相似文献

This paper deals with the resilient behavior of the interlayer soil which is created mainly by the interpenetration of ballast and subgrade soils. The interlayer soil studied was taken from a site in the southeast of France. Large-scale cyclic triaxial tests were carried out at three water contents (w = 4, 6 and 12 %) and three fines contents corresponding to 5, 10 % subgrade added to the natural interlayer soil and 10 % fine particles (<80 μm) removed from the natural interlayer soil. Soil specimens underwent various deviator stresses, and for each deviator stress, a large number of cycles was applied. The effects of deviator stress, number of cycles, water content and fines content on the resilient modulus (M r) were analyzed. It appears that the effects of water content and fines content must be analyzed together because the two effects are closely linked. Under unsaturated conditions, the soil containing high fines content has higher resilient modulus due to the contribution of suction. When the soil approaches the saturated state, it loses its mechanical enhancement with a sharp decrease in resilient modulus. 相似文献

牧压梯度下高寒杂草类草甸土壤持水能力及影响因素分析 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
以祁连山南麓坡地夏季牧场高寒杂草类草甸为研究对象,进行了封育对照（CK,禁牧）、轻度放牧（LG）、中度放牧（MG）和重度放牧（HG）下土壤持水能力及影响因素的分析. 结果表明：牧压梯度下0～10 cm层土壤最大持水量和毛管持水量均在LG最大,土壤自然贮水量LG略小于HG;而在10～20 cm和20～40 cm持水量均在HG最大,说明放牧对表层土壤的持水能力影响比深层更明显. 0～10 cm层土壤容重随牧压强度增加而增大,较深层次土壤容重基本一致,表明放牧对较深层土壤容重造成的影响远小于表层. 牧压梯度下植被地上地下生物量、枯落物、地表半腐殖质随放牧强度增大而减少;0～10 cm土壤有机质含量在MG最大,CK最小,10～20 cm和20～40 cm层土壤的有机质含量CK最大,说明不同土层有机质含量对牧压梯度的响应有所不同. 土壤持水量与多种因素有关,主要受到地下生物量、有机质和容重等因素的影响,表明随放牧强度增大,践踏使土壤表面硬度增加,土壤空隙度减少,同时家畜过度采食使地面植被覆盖降低而增加土壤水分的蒸发. 这些综合作用下引起放牧地土壤持水能力降低. 相似文献

Wide-grading gravelly soils are often encountered in debris flow source areas. To perform stability analyses under rainfall conditions, the soil–water characteristic curves (SWCC) are significant. However, the studies for SWCC of wide-grading gravelly soils are rare. In order to investigate the effects of initial dry density and grain size distribution on the SWCCs of wide-grading gravelly, a large-scale osmotic column, allowing the measurement of both volumetric water content and matric suction at various levels, was fabricated for a series of osmotic column tests. The test data were best-fitted to Van Genuchten equation using a least-squares algorithm and found that both the initial dry density and grain size distribution had a greater effect on the SWCCs. An increase in the initial dry density resulted in an increase in water retention capacity. The air entry value and residual volumetric water content increased linearly with increases in the initial dry density, whereas the maximum slope of SWCC decreased linearly with increases in the initial dry density. The air entry value and residual volumetric water content increased linearly with increases in the fine content (particle diameter <0.075), whereas the maximum slope increases linearly with increases in the effective size, d 10. 相似文献

现有的土水特征曲线(SWCC)滞后性的研究多针对重塑土,原状黄土土水特征曲线滞后性特征的研究较少。为研究全吸力范围内原状黄土的滞后特征,以泾阳马兰黄土(L1)和离石黄土(L5)为研究对象,采用压力板仪和滤纸法测定增湿和减湿SWCC,采用压汞法测定孔隙分布特征,X衍射分析矿物成分。结果表明,在压力板仪测试基质吸力范围内(0~600 kPa),滤纸法和压力板仪测定的SWCC具有一致性,且在减湿过程中两种方法的测试结果更为一致。滤纸法测得的全吸力范围(0~30 000 kPa)内,黄土SWCC滞后性存在三段性特征。即在天然含水率(L1 14.2%、L5 17.3%)附近,黄土SWCC几乎无滞后性;含水率高于天然含水率一定范围(L1大于19.2%、L5大于18.3%),存在极为明显的滞后性;低于天然含水率一定范围(L1小于11.2%、L5小于15.4%),存在弱滞后性。天然状态下反复干湿循环,导致黄土SWCC在天然含水率附近无滞后性;黄土限制孔隙对墨水瓶效应的增益作用,导致高含水率下黄土SWCC呈强滞后性;黏土矿物的水合作用,导致低含水率下SWCC呈弱滞后性。 相似文献

Soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is one of the input components required for conducting the transient seepage analysis in unsaturated soil for estimating pore water pressure (PWP). SWCC is usually defined by saturated volumetric water content (θs), residual water content (RWC) and air entry value (AEV). Mathematical model of PWP could be useful to unearth the important SWCC components and the physics behind it. Based on authors’ knowledge, rarely any mathematical models describing the relationship between PWP and SWCC components are found. In the present work, an evolutionary approach, namely, multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP) has been applied to formulate the relationship between the PWP profile along soil depth and input variables for SWCC (θs, RWC and AEV) for a given duration of ponding. The PWP predicted using the MGGP model has been compared with those generated using finite element simulations. The results indicate that the MGGP model is able to extrapolate the PWP satisfactory along the soil depth for a given set of boundary conditions. Based on the given AEV and saturated water content, the PWP along the depth can be determined from the newly developed MGGP model, which will be useful for design and analysis of slopes and landfill covers. 相似文献
