This study concerns the identification of constitutive models from geotechnical measurements by inverse analysis. Soil parameters are identified from measured horizontal displacements of sheet pile walls and from a measured pressuremeter curve. An optimization method based on a genetic algorithm (GA) and a principal component analysis (PCA), developed and tested on synthetic data in a previous paper, is applied. These applications show that the conclusions deduced from synthetic problems can be extrapolated to real problems. The GA is a robust optimization method that is able to deal with the non‐uniqueness of the solution in identifying a set of solutions for a given uncertainty on the measurements. This set is then characterized by a PCA that gives a first‐order approximation of the solution as an ellipsoid. When the solution set is not too curved in the research space, this ellipsoid characterizes the soil properties considering the measured data and the tolerate margins for the response of the numerical model. Besides, optimizations from different measurements provide solution sets with a common area in the research space. This intersection gives a more relevant and accurate identification of parameters. Finally, we show that these identified parameters permit to reproduce geotechnical measurements not used in the identification process. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Accurate estimation of geotechnical parameters is an important and difficult task in tunnel design and construction. Optimum evaluation of the geotechnical parameters have been carried out by the back‐analysis method based on estimated absolute convergence data. In this study, a back‐analysis technique using measured relative convergence in tunnelling is proposed. The extended Bayesian method (EBM), which combines the prior information with the field measurement data, is adopted and combined with the 3‐dimensional finite element analysis to predict ground motion. By directly using the relative convergence as observation data in the EBM, we can exclude errors that arise in the estimation of absolute displacement from measured convergence, and can evaluate the geotechnical parameters with sufficient reliability. The proposed back‐analysis technique is applied and validated by using the measured data from two tunnel sites in Korea. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

岩土工程可靠度分析中,功能函数往往呈隐式且具有强非线性性质,而目前最为实用的矩方法,如JC法、二次二阶矩法,主要适用于显式功能函数情形。为此,将高效的统计矩估计方法和可靠度分析的高阶矩法相结合,提出了一种岩土工程可靠度分析的改进四阶矩方法。首先,通过引入变量的独立化变换和线性变换将功能函数转换为参考变量的函数,并结合多变量函数的单变量降维近似方法和参考变量计算节点与权系数的确定方法,建立了功能函数前四阶矩的高效点估计法。然后,将上述统计矩与立方正态变换假设相结合,提出了易于实现的岩土工程可靠度分析的改进四阶矩方法。最后,由数学算例验证了统计矩估计方法的效率和精度,并通过经典的岩土工程算例验证了建议的改进四阶矩方法具有高效率、高精度且操作简单等特点。 相似文献

In application to numerical analysis of geotechnical problems, the limit-state surface is usually not known in any closed form. The probability of failure can be assessed via the so-called reliability index. A minimization problem can naturally be formed with an implicit equality constraint defined as the limit-state function and optimization methods can be used for such problems. In this paper, a genetic algorithm is proposed and incorporated into a displacement finite element method to find the Hasofer–Lind reliability index. The probabilistic finite element method is then used to analyse the reliability of classical geotechnical systems. The performance of the genetic algorithm (GA) is compared with simpler probability methods such as the first-order-second-moment Taylor series method. The comparison shows that the GA can produce the results fairly quickly and is applicable to evaluation of the failure performance of geotechnical problems involving a large number of decision variables. 相似文献

This study concerns the identification of parameters of soil constitutive models from geotechnical measurements by inverse analysis. To deal with the non‐uniqueness of the solution, the inverse analysis is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) optimization process. For a given uncertainty on the measurements, the GA identifies a set of solutions. A statistical method based on a principal component analysis (PCA) is, then, proposed to evaluate the representativeness of this set. It is shown that this representativeness is controlled by the GA population size for which an optimal value can be defined. The PCA also gives a first‐order approximation of the solution set of the inverse problem as an ellipsoid. These developments are first made on a synthetic excavation problem and on a pressuremeter test. Some experimental applications are, then, studied in a companion paper, to show the reliability of the method. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

As numerical models are increasingly used as a design tool in geotechnical engineering, it is highly desirable if geotechnical reliability analysis can be conducted based on numeral models. Currently, the practical use of geotechnical reliability analysis-based numerical models is still quite limited. In this study, an easy to access method is derived to conduct geotechnical reliability analysis based on numerical models. To facilitate its application, a procedure is outlined to implement the suggested method such that geotechnical reliability analysis can be automated using existing geotechnical numerical packages. The procedure is illustrated in detail with an example, and the source codes provided can be easily adapted to analyze other similar problems. The method described in this paper is used to study the reliability of a deteriorating reinforced concrete drainage culvert in Shanghai, China. The suggested method provides a convenient means for reliability analysis of complex geotechnical problems. 相似文献

At geotechnical sites, deformation measurements are routinely performed during the construction process. In this paper, it is shown how information from such measurements can be utilized to update the reliability estimate of the geotechnical site at future construction stages. A recently proposed method for Bayesian updating of the reliability is successfully applied in conjunction with a stochastic nonlinear geotechnical finite element model. Therein, uncertainty in the soil material properties is modelled by non-Gaussian random fields. The structural reliability evaluations required for the Bayesian updating are carried out by means of subset simulation, an efficient adaptive Monte Carlo method. The approach is demonstrated through an application to a sheet pile wall at a deformation-sensitive geotechnical construction site. 相似文献

Back analysis can provide engineers with important information for better decision-making. Over the years, research on back analysis has focused mainly on optimisation techniques, while comparative studies of data-interpretation methodologies have seldom been reported. This paper examines the use of three data-interpretation methodologies on the performance of geotechnical back analysis. In general, there are two types of approaches for interpreting model predictions using field measurements, deterministic versus population-based, both of which are considered in this study. The methodologies that are compared are (a) error-domain model falsification (EDMF), (b) Bayesian model updating and (c) residual minimisation. Back analyses of an excavation case history in Singapore using the three methodologies indicate that each has strengths and limitations. Residual minimisation, though easy to implement, shows limited capabilities of interpreting measurement data with large uncertainty errors. EDMF provides robustness against incomplete information of the correlation structure. This is achieved at the expense of precision, as EDMF yields wider confidence intervals of the identified parameter values and predicted quantities compared with Bayesian model updating. In this regard, a modified EDMF implementation is proposed, which can improve upon the limitations of the traditional EDMF method, thus enhancing the quality of the identification outcomes. 相似文献

边坡工程可靠性分析的最大熵方法,利用已有样本的部分信息来使熵最大化,充分利用了随机变量的高阶矩信息,由样本矩来推断边坡可靠性功能函数的概率密度函数,求解边坡的破坏概率。该方法对基本随机变量的分布没有特别要求,避免了常规方法计算过程中在迭代点处对非正态随机变量进行近似当量正态化处理的缺陷。通常,功能函数的真实概率密度函数很难、甚至无法求得,将Pearson曲线族引入岩土参数随机变量高阶矩的求解当中,可以很容易地得到功能函数的高阶中心矩,然后,基于最大熵原理拟合得到功能函数的最大熵密度函数,采用区间截断法和高斯-克朗罗德数值积分法分别确定最大熵密度函数的拉格郎日系数和边坡的破坏概率。算例分析结果表明:该方法计算效率高,结果可靠,克服了传统方法求解过程复杂、精度低的缺点,将其应用于工程边坡的可靠性分析当中,发展潜力大,具有一定的应用前景和实用价值。 相似文献

受工程勘察成本及试验场地限制,可获得的试验数据通常有限,基于有限的试验数据难以准确估计岩土参数统计特征和边坡可靠度。贝叶斯方法可以融合有限的场地信息降低对岩土参数不确定性的估计进而提高边坡可靠度水平。但是,目前的贝叶斯更新研究大多假定参数先验概率分布为正态、对数正态和均匀分布,似然函数为多维正态分布,这种做法的合理性有待进一步验证。总结了岩土工程贝叶斯分析常用的参数先验概率分布及似然函数模型,以一个不排水黏土边坡为例,采用自适应贝叶斯更新方法系统探讨了参数先验概率分布和似然函数对空间变异边坡参数后验概率分布推断及可靠度更新的影响。计算结果表明：参数先验概率分布对空间变异边坡参数后验概率分布推断及可靠度更新均有一定的影响,选用对数正态和极值I型分布作为先验概率分布推断的参数后验概率分布离散性较小。选用Beta分布和极值I型分布获得的边坡可靠度计算结果分别偏于保守和危险,选用对数正态分布获得的边坡可靠度计算结果居中。相比之下,似然函数的影响更加显著。与其他类型似然函数相比,由多维联合正态分布构建的似然函数可在降低对岩土参数不确定性估计的同时,获得与场地信息更为吻合的计算结果。另外,构建似然函数时不同位置处测量误差之间的自相关性对边坡后验失效概率也具有一定的影响。 相似文献

可靠度分析中梯度求解方法的研究 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
在岩土工程的可靠度分析中，功能函数的形式非常复杂，甚至是隐式的。而对于常用的可靠度分析方法，如一阶可靠性方法（FORM）、二阶可靠性方法（SORM）等，一个重要的问题是求功能函数对基本随机变量的梯度。因此，对于隐式的或复杂的显式功能函数，必须采用数值微分方法来求解功能函数的梯度。对于可靠度分析中常用的有限差分法（FDM）及有理多项式法（RPT）这两种数值微分方法，本文详细研究了二者问的异同及其求导结果与步长的关系，指出了对于相同的步长控制系数及取样方式，FDM是RPT在线性情况下的特例；对于连续的线性功能函数，可直接用3点FDM求导：对于连续的非线性功能函数，可用5点RPT求导；对于非连续的功能函数，应采用RPT求导。建议取步长控制系数等于1。 相似文献

以悬浮物浊度标定为研究对象,通过对不同分析方法得到的浓度结果与浊度仪之间相关性的分析,探索悬浮物浓度测量的较佳方案。根据实测数据的对比分析,发现现场抽滤法相较于自然焚烧法、室内抽滤法和沉淀烘干法,具有省时间、低费用、高效率和可靠性高的特点。主要原因为室内各类分析方法相较于现场抽滤会出现较多不确定的影响因素,包括运输存储过程中容器瓶壁的吸附作用、水样微生物的滋长以及方法本身的系统误差,如焚烧法操作过程,有机物在高温环境下挥发,致使分析处理的研究对象与观测仪器所测不同,导致产生比较大的误差。现场抽滤法不但适合在水流比较平稳的内河使用,而且在流态复杂,泥沙浓度变化较大的河口地区的泥沙浓度测量中也具有的较强实用性。 相似文献

Multi-sensor approach to settlement analysis of earth dams 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In this paper, a fusion method for the settlement study of the earth dams based on geodetic and geotechnical data is developed.
The developed method can be algorithmically explained as follows: (a) interpolation of the geotechnical data to the epoch
of geodetic observations by four degree polynomial fitting, which serves as a low-pass filter. (b) Conversion of the initial
observations into time series of the dam heights at the geodetic and geotechnical stations. (c) Fusion of the data from the
two sources at different fusion levels. (d) Final decision based on the deformation parameters derived from fused data. The
significant innovation of the proposed method centered upon its ability to incorporate geodetic and geotechnical observation
types into a one integrated solution through fusion. The method is numerically tested for the Karkhe earth dam by using geodetic
and geotechnical data from 1997 till 2009. The numerical evaluation at 229 check points indicates more than 70% improvement
in the settlementmodeling based on the fusion of the geodetic and geotechnical data, as compared to the settlement modeling
based on geotechnical data alone. 相似文献

双排钢板桩围堰的整体稳定性具有较大的不确定性,同样安全系数情况下对应的失稳概率可能不同。为了更准确地分析双排钢板桩围堰的整体稳定性,降低稳定性分析中的不确定性,采用贝叶斯方法对船坞双排钢板桩围堰的整体稳定性进行可靠度分析。首先通过统计数据获取土体参数的先验分布,然后基于实测数据采用贝叶斯方法更新参数以得到后验分布,最后根据参数的后验分布采用一次二阶矩计算围堰结构的可靠度。贝叶斯方法从理论的角度解决了已有工程经验和实际案例数据两方面信息有效综合的问题,能在更接近实际情况的前提下进行可靠度分析。 相似文献

初始地应力场是影响岩土工程稳定性的重要因素之一,如何合理地模拟初始地应力场一直是岩体力学中的重要研究课题。以国内某大型水利水电工程构筑区域实测空间地应力资料为基础,以边界位移为控制对象,采用有限元（无界元）方法对工程区大范围内的岩体初始地应力场进行了分析和研究。尝试在实际边界上满足无穷远处位移为0的模型边界上引入了无界单元,实测点上的应力拟合结果有较明显的改善,这表明所采用的方法是切实可行和有效的。 相似文献

针对岩土工程的功能函数强非线性且难以显式表达的特点,提出了基于人工神经网络的四阶矩法,充分利用了基本随机变量的统计信息。首先利用神经网络对结构的隐式功能函数进行拟合,求得基本随机变量在均值点处的功能函数值及其偏导数,然后利用泰勒级数展开的方法由基本随机变量的前四阶矩求得功能函数的前四阶矩,并借助于Pearson系统获得功能函数的更高阶矩。在此基础上,通过最大熵原理确定以功能函数各阶矩为约束的功能函数的概率密度函数,最后由一次积分得到结构的失效概率。通过数值算例和工程实例不同方法的对比分析,表明基于神经网络的结构可靠度分析四阶矩方法是可行的,有效的,能够满足岩土工程可靠度分析的要求。 相似文献

Typical geotechnical testing results reflect the level of soil uncertainty, which requires statistical corrections of the data for an appropriate engineering decision. This study proposes frameworks to detect outlying data points using statistical analyses, the cross-validation-based method and the generalised extreme value distribution-based method. The borehole data regarding soil depth distribution in a central area of Seoul, South Korea are assessed to validate the aforementioned methods for comparison with the distribution-based method and the Moran scatterplot method. The results show that the proposed methods enable more reliable spatial distributions to be achieved with a quantitative evaluation of local reliability. 相似文献

刚性块体极限分析上限法常应用于岩土工程稳定性研究,然而应用时需假定刚性块体破坏模式并递推繁琐的几何关系。为此,提出一种适应性更广的基于非线性规划模型的刚体平动运动单元上限有限元法,并解决了其优化模型初始值的确定问题。通过引入有限单元思想,将计算区域离散成刚体单元,同时以单元速度和节点坐标作为决策变量,由上限定理建立非线性规划模型获得上限解。利用编制的上限有限元程序进行边坡和浅埋隧道稳定性算例验证,表明运动单元上限有限元法能调整速度间断线至较优方位,所得破坏模式特征鲜明,上限解精度高,可广泛应用于边坡、隧道等稳定性分析研究。 相似文献
