Improved rotational hardening rule for cohesive soils and definition of inherent anisotropy 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Improved, microfabric‐inspired rotational hardening rules for the plastic potential and bounding surfaces associated with the generalized bounding surface model for cohesive soils are presented. These hardening rules include 2 new functions, fη and , that improve the simulation of anisotropically consolidated cohesive soils. Three model parameters are associated with the improved hardening rules. A detailed procedure for obtaining suitable values for these parameters is presented. The first 2 parameters affect the simulation of constant stress ratio loading where, because of the presence of fη, the third parameter is inactive. The second new function, , accelerates the rotation of the plastic potential and bounding surfaces during shearing, which is particularly important for overconsolidated soils tested in extension. This paper also describes the proper manner in which to define the inherent anisotropy. This seemingly straightforward test has rarely been discussed in sufficient detail. 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

The bearing capacity of shallow foundations in a non-homogeneous soil profile has been a challenging task in geotechnical
engineering. In this paper, a limit equilibrium method is used for calculating bearing capacity factors of shallow foundations
constructed on a two-layered granular soil profile. The main objective has been to determine the ultimate bearing capacity
computed from equivalent bearing capacity factors Nq and Nγ and comparing that with numerical analysis using finite element methods. It will be shown that the data obtained form the
developed method are well comparable with those obtained from FE approach, specially when the difference between shear strength
parameters of layers is low which is a practical case for sedimentary soil profiles and also for artificially compacted soils.
A computer program has been developed to investigate the influence of various parameters on bearing capacity factors. 相似文献

Using stone columns is an efficient method to increase the bearing capacity of soft soils. This has led to an increased interest in further developing and improving the method. In addition, granular blankets are used to increase the bearing capacity of the stone columns. In this research, the bearing capacity of stone columns, granular blankets, and a combination of both methods in reinforced and unreinforced modes was examined using large-scale laboratory tests. A scale factor of 1–10 is used for the geometry of the models, and the stone columns are a floating type that are 60 mm in diameter and 350 mm in length. These columns are either reinforced with vertical encasement of a geotextile or they are unreinforced. The granular blankets are either reinforced by using a biaxial geogrid or they are unreinforced with 40 and 75 mm thicknesses. In general, 16 large experimental tests have been carried out. Results indicate that using all these variations (granular blankets, stone columns, and a combination of both) improves bearing capacity. Using geogrid as the reinforcement of granular blankets and geotextile as stone-column encasement increases the efficiency of granular blankets and stone columns significantly. The maximum bearing capacity was obtained when reinforced granular blankets and reinforced stone columns were combined. The stress-concentration ratio and bearing capacity increased as geotextile encasement was used in the stone columns. 相似文献

Experimental and numerical investigations into the bearing capacity of circular footing on geogrid-reinforced compacted granular fill layer overlying on natural clay deposit have been conducted in this study. A total of 8 field tests were carried out using circular model rigid footing with a diameter of 0.30 m. 3D numerical analyses were performed to simulate soil behavior using finite element program Plaxis 3D Foundation. The results from the FE analysis are in very good agreement with the experimental observations. It is shown that the degree of improvement depends on thickness of granular fill layer and properties and configuration of geogrid layers. Parameters of the experimental and numerical analyses include depth of first reinforcement, vertical spacing of reinforcement layers. The results indicate that the use of geogrid-reinforced granular fill layers over natural clay soils has considerable effects on the bearing capacity and significantly reduces the lateral displacement and vertical displacement of the footing. 相似文献

A finite element approach based on an advanced multi‐surface kinematic constitutive model is used to evaluate the bearing capacity of footings resting on granular soils. Unlike simple elastic‐perfectly plastic models, often applied to granular foundation problems, the present model realistically accounts for stress dependency of the friction angle, strain softening–hardening and non‐associativity. After the model and its implementation into a finite element code are briefly discussed, the numerical difficulty due to the singularity at the footing edge is addressed. The bearing capacity factor Nγ is then calculated for different granular materials. The effect of footing size, shape, relative density and roughness on the ultimate bearing capacity are studied and the computed results compare very favourably with the general experimental trends. In addition, it is shown that the finite element solution can clearly represent counteracting mechanisms of progressive failure which have an important effect on the bearing capacity of granular foundations.

An axisymmetric lower bound limit analysis technique in combination with the finite elements has been used to investigate the effect of considering a non-associated flow rule on the stability number (γH/c) for a vertical circular unsupported excavation in a general cohesive–frictional soil medium, where (1) H is the excavation height, (2) γ defines the unit weight of the soil mass, and (3) c indicates the cohesion of the soil mass. The results are derived for different magnitudes of dilative coefficient (η), friction angle (?), and normalized excavation height (H/b), where b = the radius of the excavation. The results clearly indicate the increase in γH/c with an increase in η value. It is expected that the charts provided in this note will be quite helpful for the practicing engineers.

Maximum and minimum void ratios (emax and emin) of granular soils are commonly used as indicators of many engineering properties. However, few methods, apart from laboratory tests, are available to provide a rapid estimation of both emax and emin. In this study, we present a theoretical model to map the densest and the loosest packing configurations of granular soils onto the void space. A corresponding numerical procedure that can predict both emax and emin of granular soils with arbitrary grain size distributions is proposed. The capacity of the proposed method is evaluated by predicting the maximum and minimum void ratios of medium to fine mixed graded sands with different contents of fines. The influence of the grain size distribution, characterized quantitatively by uniformity parameter and the fractal dimension, on emax and emin is discussed using the proposed method. Moreover, application of this method in understanding the controlling mechanism for the void ratio change during grain crushing is presented.

Bearing capacity of foundations is often determined for saturated state of the soil, regarding its simple and conservative
results. This assumption, however, results in very uneconomic and overconservative design for a wide range of climates in
the world. In this paper, plasticity equations were employed and extended for unsaturated soils to establish a theoretical
approach to investigate the bearing capacity of unsaturated soils. It is achieved by combining the concept of effective stress
and plasticity equations in terms of effective stress in unsaturated soils. The advantage of Bishop’s (4) effective stress concept was employed to simplify the equations. The equations were then transformed onto the zero extension
lines directions to generalize this method for both associative and non-associative problems by which both stress and velocity
field can be determined for unsaturated soils. A computer code was also developed to solve the relatively complex plasticity
equations for a wide range of soil friction angles and matric suctions to compute the corresponding bearing capacity factor,

, for strip foundations with smooth and rough base. This factor seems to be one of the major contributors in the bearing capacity
of shallow foundations. The results have been presented in design charts and theoretical equations. 相似文献

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

The ultimate bearing capacity of strip footings resting on subsoil consisting of a strong sand layer (reinforced/unreinforced)
overlying a low bearing capacity sand deposit has been investigated. Three principal problems were analysed based on results
obtained from the model tests as follows: (1) the effect of stratified subsoil on the foundations bearing capacity; (2) the
effect of reinforcing the top layer with horizontal layers of geogrid reinforcement on the bearing capacity; (3) effect of
reinforcing stratified subsoil (reinforced and unreinforced) on the settlement of the foundation. It has been observed that
reinforcing the subsoil after replacing the top layer of soil with a well-graded soil is beneficial as the mobilization of
soil-reinforcement frictional resistance will increase. 相似文献

ABSTRACTProbabilistic methods in geotechnical engineering have received a lot of attention during the last decade and different methodologies are used to capture the inherent variability of soil in different geotechnical engineering problems. In this paper, numerical simulations are conducted to obtain the bearing capacity factor, Nγ, for a purely frictional heterogenous soil where the friction angle is modelled as randomly distributed throughout the domain and the effect of its spatial variability on Nγ is investigated. A finite element method, based on the upper bound limit analysis was combined with random field theory and linear programming to develop a probabilistic analysis. Monte Carlo simulations were performed and the effect of the variability of the friction angle defined by statistical parameters on the bearing capacity factor was investigated. Results show that the mean bearing capacity factor Nγ of a footing on a spatially variable cohesionless soil is generally higher than the deterministic Nγ obtained from a constant mean value. Increasing the heterogeneity of the friction angle by an increase in the coefficient of variation generally increases this deviation. This can be explained by the nonlinearity of the relationship between Nγ and the friction angle. 相似文献

The aim of this article is to investigate the solution for the reinforcement of the walls of the saltpans of the Aveiro lagoon
by using geosynthetics. For that purpose literature research has been done to collect both the properties and the geometry
of the walls and of the soils. Simultaneously, methods for the design of reinforced soils using geosynthetics were collected,
particularly to allow the consideration of two types of backfill soil: granular and fine. So, two solutions for such walls
were studied using granular and fine soils, respectively. The design methods used were the ones proposed by: Jewell (1996) and Rogbeck et al. (2002) for granular soils and Naughton et al. (2001) for fine soils. Finally, the verification of the external stability of the profiles of a selected wall has been made using
the methodology described in Eurocode 7: EN1997-1: 2004. 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

The current use of fundamental mechanics in developing rational interpretation methods for deriving soil properties from in situ test results is reviewed and evaluated. The focus is on some of the most widely used in situ test devices including cone penetrometers with and without pore pressure measurements (CPTU and CPT), self-boring and cone pressuremeters (SBPMT and CPMT), and flat dilatometers (DMT). In situ tests in both cohesive and frictional soils for measuring strength and stiffness properties, in situ state parameters, consolidation coefficients, stress history, and in situ stresses are considered in detail. 相似文献

In this note, a new method to calculate the equivalent Mohr–Coulomb friction angle ?′mc for cohesive and frictional materials is presented. This method makes a transformation from the failure surface for cohesive materials to the failure surface for cohesionless materials and obtains ?′mc as well as the principal stress ratio σ′1/σ′3 for cohesionless materials in the transformed space first, then obtains ?′mc for cohesive materials by linking σ′1/σ′3 in the transformed space and in the original space. In the application example, an analytical solution of the invariant stress ratio L is derived from the failure function in the transformed space. The influence of the intermediate effective principal stress σ′2 is also demonstrated using the already calculated ?′mc. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
