Directional variability of spatial correlation is observed in natural soils due to their depositional characteristics and it influences the response of structures founded on these deposits. Nonetheless, the results presented in most of the available literature are based on the assumption of either isotropic spatial correlation or perfect spatial correlation of soil properties in horizontal and vertical directions. It is also observed from past studies that the effect of transformation model on the total uncertainty is quite significant. Hence, an effort has been made in this paper to study the effect of anisotropy of autocorrelation characteristics of cone tip resistance (qc) and the transformation model on the bearing capacity of a shallow strip footing, founding on the surface of a spatially varying soil mass. The statistics in the vertical direction of the soil mass are taken from 8 Cone Penetration Test (CPT) records and statistics in the horizontal direction are assumed. For the case considered, it is observed that the transformation model significantly influences the degree of variability of design parameter. The results also show that isotropic correlation structure based on the vertical autocorrelation distance underestimates the variability of design parameter. On the other hand, perfect correlation in horizontal or vertical, or both directions, overestimates the variability of design parameters, and produces conservative estimates of allowable bearing capacity. 相似文献

Spatial correlation structures are usually used while modelling inherent uncertainty associated with soil properties. To retrieve this information a sufficient number of measurements and equal intervals between measurements or samples are always required. However, in practice, it is not usual to conduct site investigation in that way subject to a limited budget. Therefore, it is of interest to understand the possible bias created by using samples with unequal intervals. This research focuses on estimating the vertical spatial correlation structures of cone penetration tests (CPT) data conducted at a liquefaction site in Taiwan. The appropriate fitting range used in calibrating the correlation model is also discussed. The results show that cone tip resistance has larger correlation distances than that of sleeve friction. The estimated correlation distances of the CPT profiles are similar while using an equal sampling interval within a certain fitting range (denoted as the critical interval of measurements in this research). The results indicate that the effect of using different curve-fitting ranges is relatively insignificant for correlation distances of sleeve friction, whereas the correlation distances of cone tip resistance are more sensitive to different curve-fitting ranges. Moreover, the mean values of correlation distances are more constant for the equal sampling interval cases than for the unequal interval cases. 相似文献

The evaluation of the undrained cyclic resistance of sandy deposits is required to forecast the soil behaviour during an earthquake (liquefaction, cyclic mobility); due to the difficulties in obtaining undisturbed samples of most liquefiable soils, it is usually deduced from field test results such as cone penetration tests. This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate the undrained cyclic resistance from normalised cone resistance of two well-studied silica sands (Ticino and Toyoura), with different mineralogy, one mainly composed of feldspar, the other of quartz. The determination of the cyclic resistance of Ticino and Toyoura sands was achieved through undrained cyclic triaxial tests on reconstituted specimens. The tip resistance was deduced from CPTs performed in centrifuge with a miniaturised piezocone on homogeneous reconstituted models. Both the undrained cyclic and tip resistances were correlated with the state parameter ψ. Results of centrifuge and triaxial tests were combined through ψ to deduce the cyclic resistance ratio CRR directly from the normalised cone resistance. The shape of the curve relating CRR to the normalised cone resistance resulted unusual respect to all the recognised curves widespread in the geotechnical literature. The aim of the proposed correlations is to provide a useful instrument to improve the actual knowledge on liquefaction and to give a contribution based on the critical state soil mechanics framework to the development of refined correlations between the cyclic resistance of a sand and the results of cone penetration tests. 相似文献

Site-specific geotechnical data are always random and variable in space. In the present study, a procedure for quantifying the variability in geotechnical characterization and design parameters is discussed using the site-specific cone tip resistance data (qc) obtained from static cone penetration test (SCPT). The parameters for the spatial variability modeling of geotechnical parameters i.e. (i) existing trend function in the in situ qc data; (ii) second moment statistics i.e. analysis of mean, variance, and auto-correlation structure of the soil strength and stiffness parameters; and (iii) inputs from the spatial correlation analysis, are utilized in the numerical modeling procedures using the finite difference numerical code FLAC 5.0. The influence of consideration of spatially variable soil parameters on the reliability-based geotechnical deign is studied for the two cases i.e. (a) bearing capacity analysis of a shallow foundation resting on a clayey soil, and (b) analysis of stability and deformation pattern of a cohesive-frictional soil slope. The study highlights the procedure for conducting a site-specific study using field test data such as SCPT in geotechnical analysis and demonstrates that a few additional computations involving soil variability provide a better insight into the role of variability in designs. 相似文献

Finite element cavity expansion analysis investigating the effect of penetration rate on piezocone tests in clay is presented. A coupled analysis was performed, in which the rate of cavity expansion was linked to the penetration rate of the cone and the cone angle, using the assumption that the deformation was wholly radial, and took place only between the cone tip and the cone shoulder. The soil was modelled using modified cam clay with two sets of parameters and varying values of overconsolidation ratio (OCR). The influence of penetration rate on the stress and pore pressure distributions was examined. For slower penetration rates, the excess pore pressure at the cone shoulder is lower since consolidation is permitted coincident with penetration. The radial profiles of post‐penetration voids ratio demonstrate that partially drained penetration is permitted by volume change in the near field, in addition to radial movement in the far field. The radial distribution of excess pore pressure after slow penetration differs from the undrained case, with a relatively low radial gradient existing at the cone face. As a result, the dissipation curves after slow penetration lag behind those following fast penetration. The cone velocity is made dimensionless by normalizing with the coefficient of consolidation and the cone diameter. ‘Backbone’ curves of normalized velocity against normalized tip resistance and excess pore pressure capturing the transition from undrained to drained penetration are derived. The normalized pore pressure backbone curve is unique, whilst the normalized tip resistance shows a small dependency on OCR. These backbone penetration curves are compared with centrifuge model piezocone tests conducted at varying rates, and subsequent dissipation tests. The numerical and experimental results suggest that the value of consolidation coefficient operative during the dissipation phase is 2–4 times higher than the virgin compression value due to changes in the operative soil stiffness, as demonstrated from the stress paths of individual soil elements. The use of multi‐rate penetration tests to deduce values of consolidation coefficient is discussed, in light of these differences. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The cone tip resistance data available for the clay site at Texas A&M University, USA (one of the National Geotechnical Experimentation Sites) are used to show how the spatial variation of a soil property can be quantified. It is suggested that the first step in quantifying the spatial variation of a soil property should be the identification or selection of the statistically homogeneous soil layers. A new simple procedure is suggested to identify statistically homogeneous layers in a soil profile. Through examples it is shown that the procedure works extremely well in identifying the statistically homogeneous layers. For the chosen statistically homogeneous layers, the spatial variation of cone tip resistance with depth is quantified in terms of a constant mean or a mean trend, variance/standard deviation/coefficient of variation or a variance around the mean trend, and a correlation or variogram function. Correlation distances in the depth direction were found to be between 0.1 and 0.5m for the two soil layers investigated. It was shown that the correlation distance decreases in the presence of a global mean trend for the soil property. In such cases, it is important to note that a part of the correlation is automatically included in the mean trend function. 相似文献

Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian based finite element analysis of cone penetration in soft clay 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
This paper presents a numerical model for the analysis of cone penetration in soft clay based on the finite element method. The constitutive behaviour of the soil is modelled by modifying an elastic, perfectly-plastic soil model obeying Von-Mises yield criterion to take into account the strain-softening, rate dependent behaviour of soft clay. Since this is a problem involving large soil deformations, the analysis is carried out using an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian method where the quality of the mesh is preserved during penetration. The variation of cone resistance is examined with various parameters such as rigidity index of the soil, in situ stress anisotropy and roughness at the cone–soil interface, which influence the penetration resistance of the cone. A theoretical correlation has been developed incorporating these parameters and the results have been compared with previous correlations based on the cavity expansion theory, finite element method and strain path method. With the increase in strain-softening, relative brittleness of the soil increases and the penetration resistance is significantly reduced. With the rising strain-rate dependency, penetration resistance increases but this increase is independent of the degree of brittleness of the soil. 相似文献

为了探究静压沉桩与CPTU贯入力学机制,开展了饱和黏土中静压沉桩及CPTU贯入的离心模型试验,获得了静压沉桩与CPTU贯入过程中土压力、超孔压和贯入阻力的变化规律。同时,将静压桩和CPTU压入过程视为一系列球孔的连续贯入,应用圆孔扩张解答,建立了静压沉桩和CPTU贯入过程中锥头阻力、侧阻力与超孔压的预测方法。通过离心模型试验和理论预测结果的对比分析表明：随着桩体的压入,桩周土体的超孔压和土压力均逐渐增大,当桩头通过监测点时,超孔压与土压力均达到最大值;在饱和黏土中,CPTU锥头阻力、锥侧摩阻力和锥头超孔压与锥头贯入深度总体上呈线性关系。预测方法估算沉桩和CPTU贯入引起的土压力、超孔压与模型试验结果相符,较好地反映了饱和黏土中静压沉桩和CPTU贯入的力学机制。 相似文献

筒型基础的沉放是一项关键施工过程,沉放时土体在施工负压下产生渗流场,而渗流对基础筒壁的侧摩阻力和端阻力产生影响,导致沉贯阻力难以预测。针对这一问题,首先应用试验和数值模拟的方法,对筒型基础沉贯过程中的渗流特性进行分析,揭示筒壁两侧及筒端土体超孔隙水压力的分布;然后将分析结果应用于沉贯阻力的推导中,并对推导的公式进行验证。研究表明：筒型基础沉贯过程中,筒壁两侧土体的超孔隙水压力沿筒壁深度几乎呈线性变化,在接近筒端时出现非线性变化;不同的沉贯深度下,渗流对沉贯阻力的影响不同,随着沉贯深度的增加,减小的阻力占总沉贯阻力的比值越来越大;通过推导的理论公式计算的试验模型和实际工程的沉贯负压理论计算值与实测值吻合较好。 相似文献

In most limit state design codes, the serviceability limit checks for drilled shafts still use deterministic approaches. Moreover, different limit states are usually considered separately. This paper develops a probabilistic framework to assess the serviceability performance with the consideration of soil spatial variability in reliability analysis. Specifically, the performance of a drilled shaft is defined in terms of the vertical settlement, lateral deflection, and angular distortion at the top of the shaft, corresponding to three limit states in the reliability analysis. Failure is defined as the event that the displacements exceed the corresponding tolerable displacements. The spatial variability of soil properties is considered using random field modeling. To illustrate the proposed framework, this study assesses the reliability of each limit state and the system reliability of a numerical example of a drilled shaft. The results show the system reliability should be considered for the serviceability performance. The importance measures of the random variables indicate that the external loads, the performance criteria, the model errors of load transfer curves and soil strength parameter are the most important factors in reliability analysis. Moreover, it is shown that the correlation length and coefficient of variation of soil strength can exert significant impacts on the calculated failure probability. 相似文献

A new finite element model based on a large strain formulation has been developed to study cone penetration in normally consolidated sand. An auto‐adaptive remeshing technique was utilized for handling the very large distortion of sand surrounding the cone tip. A frictional contact interface utilizing Mohr–Coulomb's theory was chosen to represent interactions between the surface of the cone and sand. To model the sand behaviour, the non‐associated Drucker–Prager constitutive model was selected. ABAQUS, a commercial finite element software package, was used to implement the model. The explicit solution algorithm was chosen due to its effectiveness for complicated contact problems. Analysis results proved that the model successfully captured the cone penetration behavior in sand. In addition, a chart to predict internal friction angles based on cone tip resistance for different vertical effective stresses was provided. This paper also shows a typical distribution of sleeve resistance, tip resistance—penetration relationship, and typical contours of vertical, horizontal, and shear stresses in normally consolidated sand. Finally, a non‐uniform resistance was found along the length of the friction sleeve. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

土性指标概率模型参数的确定是进行岩土工程可靠度分析和设计的基础。为了更好地推行岩土工程可靠度设计,应该首先建立地区土性参数的概率模型。作为反映土性指标自相关特性的相关距离,研究其区域分布特性,建立其概率分布模型是必要的。本文收集了西安黄土的176个钻孔CPT数据,利用其端阻值qc作为样本,采用递推空间法计算了各层西安黄土的相关距离。研究了计算结果的统计特性,并对其均值进行了单侧置信区间估计,提出了各层西安黄土相关距离的代表值。建立了西安各层黄土相关距离的概率模型,对模型参数进行了估计,采用皮尔逊-卡方检验法对模型进行了拟合优度检验,检验结果认为其符合Beta分布。 相似文献

This paper reports the results of load and resistance factor design (LRFD) calibration for pullout and yield limit states for steel grid reinforced soil walls owing to soil self-weight loading plus permanent uniform surcharge. The calibration method uses bias statistics to account for prediction accuracy of the underlying deterministic models for reinforcement load, pullout capacity and yield strength of the steel grids, and random variability in input parameters. A new revised pullout design model is proposed to improve pullout resistance prediction accuracy and to remove hidden dependency with calculated pullout resistance values. Load and resistance factors are proposed that give a uniform probability of failure of 1% for both pullout and yield limit states. The approach adopted in this paper has application to a wide variety of other reinforced soil wall technologies. 相似文献

静压预应力混凝土管桩土塞效应试验研究 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
对淤泥质黏土互层以及粉土两种土层条件下静压预应力混凝土管桩的土塞效应进行了试验研究。现场及室内试验结果显示,管桩径厚比越大、土层条件越为坚硬则形成的土塞相对高度越大。上硬下软的土层分布易形成闭塞现象,而上软下硬的情况则易导致土塞的滑动。沉桩过程中,管壁端阻与静力触探锥尖阻力具有极为相似的变化规律,两者比值不随土塞高度变化率及沉桩深度的变化而改变。管壁端阻与锥尖阻力的相关性与土层条件密切相关,对于淤泥质黏土和粉土而言,两者比值分别为0.59和0.81。土塞的分层与地基土层分布基本一致,且分层界面为向上凸起的曲面。土塞形成过程中挤密效应是显著的,黏聚力则因扰动的影响有不同程度的降低。直剪试验显示,土塞抗剪强度的时效性是显著的。粉土中预应力混凝土管桩有效土塞高度约为5～6倍桩径,为整个土塞高度的70%;而淤泥质黏土中有效土塞高度大于4倍桩径。试验结果与已有的研究结果较为接近 相似文献

地质统计学是用于模拟土体固有空间变异性的方法之一,以变差函数为工具,采用Kriging插值提供未采样点处土工参数值的最优线性无偏估计。将地质统计学方法应用于宿-新（宿迁至新沂）高速公路某试验段内孔压静力触探（piezocone penetration test,CPTU）锥尖阻力qt空间变异性研究中,采用回归分析移除数据中的趋势项,从而获得具有弱平稳性的残差数据。指数型理论变差函数能够准确描述试验段内土体的连续空间变异性特征。根据估计结果,试验段内锥尖阻力qt残差的变程具有显著各向异性,在水平方向和竖直方向分别为4.05 m和1.2 m。采用普通Kriging插值结合趋势分析,绘制了qt在试验段的空间分布图和平面投影图,用于指导工程实践。结果表明,普通Kriging插值的估计结果能够与试验段内实测资料形成较好的对比,仅仅在部分极值变化和远离采样点的位置处估计值可靠性会降低。 相似文献

近年来许多研究者致力于通过孔压静力触探(CPTU)确定土体的渗透系数,但是存在偏差大,而且不能从机制上清楚地解释孔压静力触探确定土体渗透系数的原因。为了应用孔压静力触探现场快速地确定土体的渗透系数,在总结前人对孔压静力触探确定土体渗透系数方法的研究基础上,提出孔压静力触探时锥头处呈球冠形孔隙水流动的计算模型,假定锥头处初始超孔隙水压力为负指数型分布,推导出土体渗透系数的表达式,并且结合现场实测数据,将所提出的方法与已有的方法进行对比分析。研究发现：所提出的方法扩大了现有方法的应用范围;渗透系数计算结果受锥头角度的影响较大,随着锥头角度的增大而增大;针对国际上通用的60°角的标准锥头,所提出的方法计算的渗透系数大于前人的方法,而且更接近室内外试验结果。 相似文献

The stress–strain behaviour of a soil is crucial to the recognition of the mechanism of slope failure. Triaxial tests, composed of isotropically consolidated drained (ICD) and undrained compression (ICU) tests and anisotropically consolidated constant deviatoric stress path (CQD) tests, were carried out with the aim of investigating the stress–strain behaviour of loosely compacted volcanic-derived soils. The fact that the critical states are the same for ICU, ICD and CQD tests may show that the critical state is independent of the above three stress paths. The critical state line, as defined in critical state soil mechanics, is obtained from the e–log p′ and q–p′ plots based on the results of the above tests. The initial state of the consolidated specimens at initiation of failure may be classified as dilative or contractive in the light of the locations of the soil state relative to the critical state line. For contractional soils, the increased pore water pressure generated by rainfall infiltration leads to a contractive failure in a drained manner, giving rise to high excess pore water pressure. The excess pore water pressure caused by contraction cannot be dissipated instantly, resulting in a decrease in the shear resistance of the soil. The failure process is rapid. The failed soil mass is prone to flow after failure under the action of gravity due to its high moisture content and inflow of surface runoff and rainwater. For dilational soils, the increased pore water pressure resulting from infiltration leads to dilation, which reduces pore water pressure and thus increases the shear resistance of the soil. However, continued rainfall infiltration may be able to equilibrate the reduction in pore water pressure caused by dilation and, therefore, the dilation or displacement can continue. In Hong Kong, volcanic-derived soil is characterized by high permeability. Both the high permeability of volcanic-derived soil and a shallow failure surface make it possible for the reduction in pore pressure to equilibrate relatively quickly. Therefore, the failure is also rapid, at least for poorly compacted fill slopes. 相似文献
