Investigations on the mechanical behavior of compacted gravel lateritic soils have been the subject of several studies. Used
as road materials, soils tests were mainly performed using standard tests. Static loads as unconfined compression test (UCT)
remain the only engineering approach used. Alternative testing techniques can be chosen as supplementary tests for characterizing
pavement materials. These researches were conducted so as to determine the response of these particular and problematic soils
in its compacted form with road traffic loads. This paper presents the results of research conducted to investigate the effect
of the soil compacity on the resilient modulus of lateritic soils. The influence of the percentage of cement added so as to
stabilize each sample at the optimum modified proctor (OPM) State was also determined. Soil big specimens of around 180 mm
diameter (with length to diameter aspect ratio of 2:1) were prepared according to the standard procedure described by AASHTO
T 307 and then were subjected to repeated load triaxial tests. The models used, analyzed and developed in this paper are mainly
the Andrei and the Uzan–Witczak universal model. Test results showed that the specimen compacity has no significant influence
on the resilient modulus of the investigated gravel lateritic soils. Soil specimens with variation of the percentage of cement
added exhibited the highest resilient modulus values while the specimens with variation of the compacity exhibited the lowest
values. The resilient modulus variation seems to be independent of the level of stress. 相似文献

Following the need for understanding and quantifying the effect of temperature on the response of a candidate host formation for radioactive waste disposal, finite element modelling of an in situ thermal experiment has been carried out. Based on a thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) finite element approach including a consistent thermo-plastic constitutive model, it has been possible to reproduce the THM response of a clay formation submitted to in situ thermal loading. The simulated large-scale experiment, called ATLAS was designed in the underground research facility (HADES-URF) in Mol, Belgium. After an extensive literature analysis on the thermal, hydraulic and mechanical characteristics of Boom Clay, laboratory tests were simulated to calibrate model parameters. The results of the finite element modelling of the ATLAS experiment were compared with in situ measurements and revealed the necessity to account for flow diffusion in all three directions through a 2D axisymmetric analysis. Finally, those results were interpreted in the light of elasto-thermoplasticity, which emphasizes the significant role of thermo-plastic processes in the global THM response of the clay formation. 相似文献

Evaluation of bagasse ash treated lateritic soil as a potential barrier material in waste containment application 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Adrian O. Eberemu 《Acta Geotechnica》2013,8(4):407-421
Laboratory tests were conducted on a reddish-brown lateritic soil treated with up to 12 % bagasse ash to assess its suitability in waste containment barriers applications. Soil samples were prepared using four compaction energies (i.e. reduced Proctor, standard Proctor, West African Standard or ‘intermediate’ and modified Proctor) at ?2, 0, 2 and 4 % moulding water content of the optimum moisture content (OMC). Index properties, hydraulic conductivity (k), volumetric shrinkage and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were performed. Overall acceptable zones under which the material is suitable as a barrier material were obtained. Results recorded showed improved index properties; hydraulic conductivity and UCS with bagasse ash treatment up to 8 % at the OMC. Volumetric shrinkage strain increased with higher bagasse ash treatment. Based on the overall acceptable zone obtained, an 8 % optimal bagasse ash treatment of the natural lateritic soil makes it suitable for use in waste containment barrier application. 相似文献

Large quantities of leachate-contaminated lateritic soil results from dump yards in the southwest coast of India. These dump yards receive large quantities of municipal solid waste which includes chemical, industrial and biomedical wastes. Large areas of land are currently being used for this purpose. An extensive laboratory testing program was carried out to determine the compaction characteristics and hydraulic conductivity of clean and contaminated lateritic soil. Batch tests were used to study the immediate effect of leachate contamination on the properties of lateritic soil. Contaminated specimens were prepared by mixing the lateritic soil with leachate in the amount of 5%, 10% and 20% by weight to vary the degree of contamination. The results indicated a small reduction in maximum dry density and an increase in hydraulic conductivity due to leachate-contamination. The change induced by chemical reaction in the microstructure of the soil was studied by scanning electron microscope before and after contamination of soil with leachate. The structure of the leachate contaminated soil sample appeared to be aggregated in scanning electron microscope analysis. The aggregated structure increases the effective pore space and thus increases the hydraulic conductivity. Fifty percent increase in hydraulic conductivity was observed for specimens prepared at standard Proctor density and mixed with 20% leachate. Compaction characteristics did not change much with the presence of leachate up to 10%. With 20% leachate the maximum dry density decreased slightly indicating excess leachate in the soil. However the changes are not significant. 相似文献

Compaction grouting is the injection of a viscous grout into a soil under high pressure, which then densifies the surrounding soil by reducing void space. Laboratory and field tests of compaction grouting have been carried out. In this paper, a numerical model is used to simulate the compaction grouting process with the primary purpose of investigating relationships among various control parameters, such as injection pressure, void ratio and excess pore water pressure at various radial distances from the injection point. The compaction process is treated as a cavity expansion process in the numerical simulation. The soil is modelled with an elasto-plastic Mohr–Coulomb model using the commercial finite element program ABAQUS. In addition to numerical simulations, pressure-controlled cavity expansion laboratory tests were carried out on completely decomposed granite (CDG) soil specimens. Data collected from laboratory tests are compared with the finite element simulation to validate the finite element analyses. Factors that control the compaction process, such as the coefficient of earth pressure (K), initial void ratio, number of loading cycles and effective confining pressure, are explored in the numerical simulations. 相似文献

A bioreactor landfill is operated to enhance refuse decomposition, gas production, and waste stabilization. Some of the potential
advantages of bioreactor include rapid stabilization of waste, increased landfill gas generation, gain in landfill space,
enhanced leachate treatment, and reduced post closure maintenance period. Due to the accelerated decomposition and settlement
of solid waste, bioreactor landfills are gaining popularity as an alternative to the conventional Subtitle D landfills. However,
the addition of leachate to accelerate the decomposition changes the physical and engineering characteristic of waste and
therefore affects the geotechnical characteristics of waste mass. The changes in the physical and mechanical characteristics
of solid waste with time and decomposition are expected to affect the shear strength of waste mass. The objective of this
paper is to analyze the stability of solid waste slopes within the bioreactor landfills, as a function of time and decomposition.
The finite element program PLAXIS is used for numerical modeling of bioreactor landfills. Stability analysis of bioreactor
landfills was also performed using limit equilibrium program STABL. Finally the results from finite element program PLAXIS
and limit equilibrium program STABL are compared. GSTABL predicted a factor of safety of more than 1 in all the cases analyzed,
whereas PLAXIS predicted a factor of safety of less than 1 at advanced stages for a slope of 2:1. However, the interface failures
between solid waste and landfill liners have not been considered in this paper. 相似文献

A series of model tests on H-piles subject to lateral and vertical loading have been performed so that the experimental data could be used to calibrate a finite element programme. Experiments on model H-piles in dry silca sand were performed to determine the influence of lateral displacements on the vertical load-carrying capacity of the piles. The results from the nonlinear finite element computer program were compared to the experimental results and were found to be conservative. The experimental results showed greater pile capacities and lower bending moments than were predicted by the finite element program. 相似文献

原生矿床中金的主要性状有自然金与金的碲化物，自然金可分为“明金”和“微细粒金”，“明金”的次生作用，使金的成色得到提高，粒度更大，往往有利于残坡积型砂金矿床的形成，“微细粒金”的次生作用，常形成卡林型氧化金矿或红土型金矿和铁帽型金矿，显然，以“明金”为主的矿床及金的重砂异常区，不存在找红土型金矿的可能，应寻找脉金矿床，而在有低值金的重砂异常叠加的化探Au异常区，有望找到中小型红土型金矿床。 相似文献

Successful numerical simulation of geosynthetic-reinforced earth structures depends on selecting proper constitutive models for soils, geosynthetics and soil–geosynthetic interfaces. Many constitutive models are available for modelling soils and geosynthetics. However, constitutive models for soil–geosynthetic interfaces which can capture most of the important characteristics of interface response are not readily available. In this paper, an elasto-plastic constitutive model based on the disturbed state concept (DSC) for geosynthetic–soil interfaces has been presented. The proposed model is capable of capturing most of the important characteristics of interface response, such as dilation, hardening and softening. The behaviour of interfaces under the direct shear test has been predicted by the model. The present model has been implemented in the finite element procedure in association with the thin-layer element. Five pull-out tests with two different geogrids have been simulated numerically using FEM. For the calibration of the constitutive models used in FEM, the standard laboratory tests used are: (1) triaxial tests for the sand, (2) direct shear tests for the interfaces and (3) axial tension tests for the geogrids. The results of the finite element simulations of pull-out tests agree well with the test data. The proposed model can be used for the stress-deformation study of geosynthetic-reinforced embankments through numerical simulation. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

开挖条件下坑底工程桩工作性状及沉降计算分析 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
基坑开挖对坑内工程桩的影响不可忽视。基于工程试桩实测资料验证的有限元参数,对地面加套管试桩及基坑开挖条件下不同长度单桩进行有限元计算,研究了深厚软土地区在以常规试桩法得到的单桩极限承载力设计的桩基础的承载及变形性状。计算结果表明,基坑开挖条件下坑底工程桩侧阻和端阻异步发挥的现象明显。设计工作荷载下,长度超过40 m的桩的端阻比几乎为0。同时,桩身侧阻呈“R”形分布,长度大于80 m的单桩桩身下部甚至还存在一定的拉力,桩身下部存在较大范围的负摩阻区。考虑开挖条件下侧阻分布特点的沉降计算值要较Geddes假设分布模式下的沉降值更接近于实测结果。 相似文献

Engineering classifications which are useful for “temperate” zone soils usually fail to predict the field performance of lateritic soils, because the index tests upon which the classifications are based are not always reproducible for lateritic soils. Undisturbed and disturbed samples of twelve lateritic soils from Hawaii and Puerto Rico, all derived from basalt but representing various stages of weathering were subjected to engineering and mineralogic tests. The specific gravity of the solids increases as the degree of weathering increases; and both strength and void ratio exhibit systematic trends with increased weathering. These results suggest a classification based upon specific gravity and void ratio. Soils with specific gravities less than 3.05 and void ratios greater than 1.25 have low cohesion (less than 20 psi) and low internal friction angles (less than 35°); whereas soils with void ratios between 1.25 and 0.9 have higher cohesions. Still greater values for cohesion and friction angles are noted in soils with void ratios lower than 0.9. Soils with specific gravities greater than 3.05 and void ratios greater than 1.25 have low cohesion but high friction angles. Thus by measuring the void ratio and specific gravity of these soils one can estimate their strength. 相似文献

考虑强度各向异性的边坡稳定有限元分析 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
天然沉积的土层总是表现出一定程度的强度各向异性,但现有的边坡稳定有限元分析极少考虑各向异性的影响。对大型有限元软件ABAQUS进行二次开发,使其能够考虑土体黏聚力随大主应力方向的变化,动态更新增量迭代求解过程中边坡不同位置处的抗剪强度,进而提出具备安全系数自动搜索功能的各向异性边坡稳定分析方法。计算结果表明,均匀边坡的有限元解与极限分析上限解相差很小。如果采用土体固结方向的黏聚力并按各向同性评价缓坡的稳定性,可能严重高估安全系数,尤其是在黏聚力较高的情况下。与极限分析不同,建立的强度更新有限元模型能够分析成层边坡的稳定性。 相似文献

The potentials of lime stabilization of lateritic soils 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The paper reviews lime stabilization of lateritic soils and shows that all Nigerian lateritic soils from A-1-a soil to A-7-6 soil used in the investigation, improved their engineering characteristics substantially by the addition of lime. The plasticity indices of the soils were reduced whereas the plastic limits increased; the liquid limits increased slightly, the maximum dry density decreased and the optimum moisture content increased. From the results of Durability and CBR tests, only the A-1 soil and A-2 soil have any potential as competent base materials and consequently only these require any further field tests. 6% lime is recommended for these field tests. The other soils that do not qualify for bases may be utilized as sub-base materials. 相似文献

目前球形全流贯入被仪广泛应用于岩土离心试验中,以表征软弱黏土土样的抗剪性能。然而,在离心加速度作用下离心机试验中的球贯入仪比现场使用的标准球贯入仪有更大的加载杆与球的面积比a、更大的等效原型直径以及不一样的球-土摩擦系数,从而使得离心机球体会出现不一样的贯入特性,进而导致不一样的土体抗剪承载力校验系数。通过大变形有限元（large deformation finite element,简称LDFE）方法对中国常见离心机球形贯入仪贯入单层黏土进行分析,获得不同几何尺寸和摩擦系数下球形贯入仪的贯入特性。计算结果通过与有关解析解以及其他前人研究结论的对比分析,验证了有限元分析结果的合理性。通过大量参数分析表明,球摩擦系数对空腔的临界深度以及深层破坏深度的影响较小,面积比a对浅层和深层承载力系数以及达到深层破坏深度有显著的影响。根据数值模拟的结果,提出了不同面积比和摩擦系数下的极限间隙深度Hc、浅层和深层临界破坏模式深度Hd、不同摩擦系数和面积比情况下的深层承载力系数和浅层承载力校准系数的计算公式,从而能获得更精确的土体抗剪强度,为离心机中球形贯入仪的应用提供了理论依据。 相似文献
