The load distribution and deflection of large diameter piles are investigated by lateral load transfer method (p–y curve). Special attention is given to the soil continuity and soil resistance using three-dimensional finite element analysis. A framework for determining a p–y curve is calculated based on the surrounding soil stress. The appropriate parametric studies needed for verifying the p–y characteristic are presented in this paper. Through comparisons with results of field load tests, the three-dimensional numerical methodology in the present study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by in situ measurements and thus, represents a realistic soil–pile interaction for laterally loaded piles in clay than that of existing p–y method. It can be said that a rigorous numerical analysis can overcome the limitations of existing p–y methods to some extent by considering the effect of realistic three-dimensional combination of pile–soil forces. 相似文献

Recently in China, soil–cement is widely used to improve the soft ground in the highway construction engineering. Literature
studies are mainly investigating the mechanical properties of the soil–cement, while its properties of the electrical resistivity
are not well addressed. In this paper, the properties of the electrical resistivity of the reconstituted soil-cement and the
in situ soil–cement columns are investigated. The test results show that the electrical resistivity of the soil–cement increases
with the increase in the cement-mixing ratio and curing time, whereas it decreases with the increase in the water content,
degree of saturation and water–cement ratio. A simple equation is proposed to predict the electrical resistivity of soil–cement
under the condition of the specified curing time and water–cement ratio. It is found that the electrical resistivity has a
good relationship with the unconfined compression strength and blow count of SPT. It is expected that the electrical resistivity
method can be widely used for checking/controlling the quality of soil–cement in practice. 相似文献

Soil flow and induced air blasts are of great harm to humanity, and historically they have caused a lot of damage to infrastructure.
However, these phenomena cannot be described by traditional analog modeling methods that limit their use in disaster prevention
efforts. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an applied technique commonly used in a range of fields including the chemical
industry, and aircraft and automobile manufacturing, but little is reported on the use of this method to simulate flowing
soil in geotechnical engineering applications. The CFD method can effectively make up for the deficiency of normal calculation
methods in the analysis of soil flow and air blasts. This paper uses the FLUENT (version 6.3) CFD calculation software to
simulate the processes of soil flow and induced air blast changes during soil flow with an Eulerian air–soil two-phase model
included in a standard k-ε turbulence model. Velocity vectors of air blasts at different times during soil flow are obtained, and the characteristics
of turbulent flow can be found based on the velocity vectors. The numerical simulation techniques adopted in this paper captured
precise configurations of soil flow. The results show that the CFD method is especially suitable for simulating the process
of soil flow; hazard assessments can be implemented, and the performance of structures involved with disaster prevention can
be improved based on the numerical simulation of changing air blasts. 相似文献

In this paper, a model for the analysis of footings having finite flexural rigidity resting on a granular bed on top of stone columns improved saturated soft (clayey) soil has been proposed. Soft soil has been modeled as a Kelvin–Voigt body to represent its time dependent behavior. Pasternak shear layer has been used to represent the granular layer and the stone columns have been idealized by means of nonlinear Winkler springs. Nonlinear behavior of granular fill, soft soil and stone columns has been invoked by means of hyperbolic constitutive relationships. Governing differential equations for the soil–foundation system have been obtained and finite difference method has been adopted for solving these, using the Gauss-elimination iterative scheme. Detailed parametric study for a combined footing has been carried out to study the influence of parameters, like magnitude of applied load, flexural rigidity of footing, diameter of stone column, spacing of stone column, ultimate bearing capacity of granular fill, poor foundation soil and stone column, relative stiffness of stone columns and degree of consolidation, on flexural response of the footing. 相似文献

Natural catastrophes could damage island biodiversity and ecosystems, and their effects could become devastating if combined with human disturbances. In this study, we determined the effects of the tsunami occurred in Robinson Crusoe Island (Chile) on 27 February 2010 on an endangered soil–plant system. Using data of endemic Cabbage Trees (Dendroseris litoralis Skottsb.) and soil attributes taken before and after the 2010 event, we developed thematic maps to assess the changes in population size and soil substrate of Cabbage Trees caused by the tsunami. We determined that from 153 pre-tsunami (2009) standing Cabbage Trees, only 66 (43 %) survived in 2011, mostly in elevations above 25 m a.s.l. Before the tsunami, 86 (56 %) of Cabbage Trees were established in humus-rich soil sites whereas after the tsunami, this number declined to 53 (35 %). These results represent the first report of a severe population decline after a tsunami and indicate that tsunamis are an important source of species extinction in small oceanic islands not only by reducing the population size but also by reducing the quality of sites for plant growth. 相似文献

A new constitutive model for fibre-reinforced cohesive soil is proposed. The model combines a Cam-Clay like bounding surface model with an elastic–plastic one-dimensional fibrous element model. A “smearing procedure”, which can consider any spatial distribution of fibre orientation, is employed to transform discrete tensile forces developed in the fibres into stresses for the composite material. The fibre stress contribution is bounded by both degradation of soil–fibre bonding due to pull-out mechanism and tensile strength of the fibres. Eventual occurrence of fibre breakage is also considered. The model performances are analysed for both consolidation and shearing loading modes, and qualitative comparison is performed with experimental data available in the literature. For consolidation loading, tensile stresses are not developed in the fibres and thus the fibre effect is rather limited. For drained shear loading, addition of fibres can result in a consistent shear strength increase. The beneficial effect of fibres seems to be controlled by two parameters: the fibre tensile stiffness and the fibre/soil strain ratio that accounts for any possible slippage or shear deformation at the fibre/soil matrix interface. For undrained shear loading, the strengthening effect of the fibres appears to be counteracted by the increase in pore water pressure, induced by the additional confining contribution of the fibres. In agreement with published experimental data, the model suggests also that the moisture content is a key factor governing fibre effectiveness for undrained shearing. Finally, analysis of the model predicted critical states for fibre-reinforced cohesive soil is provided. 相似文献

An important design parameter in cement-grouted soil nailed structures is the shear strength at the interface between the grouted nail and the surrounding soil. Both field and laboratory pull-out tests are normally used to investigate this interface shear strength. However, these tests have some limitations. In this study, direct shear box tests are adopted to investigate the interface shear strength behaviour between a completely decomposed granite (CDG) soil and a cement grout plate. Tests were carried out in a large direct shear test apparatus over a range of constant normal stress, soil moisture content, and soil–cement grout interface surface waviness. The laboratory test procedures are briefly described and the main test results are presented, followed by a discussion of the shear behaviour of the soil–cement grout interface. The interface shear behaviour is compared with the shear strength behaviour of the same soil tested under comparable conditions. It is shown that the shear stress–displacement behaviour of the soil–cement grout interface is similar to that of the soil alone. The test results indicate that the interface shear strength of the CDG and cement grout material depends on the normal stress level, the soil moisture content, and the interface surface waviness. 相似文献

The role of the seismic soil–pile–structure interaction (SSPSI) is usually considered beneficial to the structural system under seismic loading since it lengthens the lateral fundamental period and leads to higher damping of the system in comparison with the fixed-base assumption. Lessons learned from recent earthquakes show that fixed-base assumption could be misleading, and neglecting the influence of SSPSI could lead to unsafe design particularly for structures founded on soft soils. In this study, in order to better understand the SSPSI phenomena, a series of shaking table tests have been conducted for three different cases, namely: (i) fixed-base structure representing the situation excluding the soil–structure interaction; (ii) structure supported by shallow foundation on soft soil; and (iii) structure supported by floating (frictional) pile foundation in soft soil. A laminar soil container has been designed and constructed to simulate the free field soil response by minimising boundary effects during shaking table tests. In addition, a fully nonlinear three dimensional numerical model employing FLAC3D has been adopted to perform time-history analysis on the mentioned three cases. The numerical model adopts hysteretic damping algorithm representing the variation of the shear modulus and damping ratio of the soil with the cyclic shear strain capturing the energy absorbing characteristics of the soil. Results are presented in terms of the structural response parameters most significant for the damage such as foundation rocking, base shear, floor deformation, and inter-storey drifts. Comparison of the numerical predictions and the experimental data shows a good agreement confirming the reliability of the numerical model. Both experimental and numerical results indicate that soil–structure interaction amplifies the lateral deflections and inter-storey drifts of the structures supported by floating pile foundations in comparison to the fixed base structures. However, the floating pile foundations contribute to the reduction in the lateral displacements in comparison to the shallow foundation case, due to the reduced rocking components. 相似文献

The alpine ecosystem is very sensitive to environmental change due to global and local disturbances. The alpine ecosystem
degradation, characterized by reducing vegetation coverage or biomass, has been occurring in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, which
alters local energy balance, and water and biochemical cycles. However, detailed characterization of the ecosystem degradation
effect is lack in literature. In this study, the impact of alpine ecosystem degradation on soil temperature for seasonal frozen
soil and permafrost are examined. The vegetation coverage is used to indicate the degree of ecosystems degradation. Daily
soil temperature is monitored at different depths for different vegetation coverage, for both permafrost and seasonal frozen
soils. Results show that under the insulating effort of the vegetation, the freezing and thawing process become quicker and
steeper, and the start of the freezing and thawing process moves up due to the insulating effort of the vegetation. The influence
of vegetation coverage on the freezing process is more evident than the thawing process; with the decrease of vegetation coverage,
the integral of frozen depth increases for seasonal frozen soil, but is vice versa for permafrost. 相似文献

Because of spatial variability and complex compositions, the mechanical test results of natural soil–rock mixtures (SRMs) are often discrete and lack reproducibility, which has greatly restricted the practical application of the experimental findings. The objective of this study was to examine the general mechanical behavior of SRMs under the influences of some hidden factors (e.g., structural parameters, parent rock type and weathering degree). To that end, the abstraction idea was adopted to prepare purified SRM samples. Large-scale triaxial tests were performed on these purified materials. On this basis, the influences of three structural parameters on the mechanical behavior of SRMs were studied. Moreover, the relationship between the shear strength and parent rock type and that between the shear strength and the spatial distribution of rock blocks were quantified. Some additional intrinsic behavior was distinguished from individual experimental phenomena through the comparative analysis of the test data in this study and those reported in the literature. The results show that the hidden factors had significant influences on the mechanical behavior of SRMs. A greater saturated uniaxial compressive strength of rock blocks generally led to a larger shear strength of SRMs. According to the significance of their influences on the shear strength parameters of SRMs, the structural parameters are ordered as: the gradation of rock blocks, the initial dry density of sample and the spatial distribution of rock blocks. The deformation and failure feature of SRMs were considerably affected by the spatial distribution of rock blocks and shear rate. And the shear strength parameters of SRMs were mainly influenced by the content of grains between 40 and 60 mm. The findings of this study would provide useful guidance for engineering practice.

Salt-rich soft soils have not only general characteristics of common soft soils, but also contain high contents of Mg2+, Cl?, and SO42?, which have negative effects on deep mixing method using cement to treat soft soils. Laboratory and field tests were conducted to investigate the effects of changing cement incorporating ratio, water content, cement mixing ratio, and contents of Mg2+, Cl?, and SO42? on the unconfined compressive strength of the salt-rich soil–cement. The microstructure of soil–cement and the mechanism for the strength change of salt-rich soil–cement were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and backscattered diffraction technology. It was found that an increase of cement incorporating ratio enhanced the strength of soil–cement but reduced its strength when water is added. Different amounts of Mg2+, Cl?, and SO42? not only caused the difference in the microstructures of salt-rich soil–cement but also influenced the soil–cement strength. 相似文献
