Embankments on Soft Soil Reinforced with Stone Columns: Numerical Analysis and Proposal of a New Design Method 总被引：5，自引：1，他引：4

A parametric study of an embankment on soft soils reinforced with stone columns is performed using a computer program based
on the finite element method. The cylindrical unit cell formulation is used by modeling one column and its surrounding soft
soil with confined axisymmetric behaviour. The computer program incorporates the Biot consolidation theory (coupled formulation
of the flow and equilibrium equations) with constitutive relations simulated by the p–q–θ critical state model. The following parameters are analysed: the replacement area ratio, the deformability of the column
material, the thickness of the soft soil, the deformability of the fill and the friction angle of the column material. Based
on the results of this study, a new design method is proposed, relating the settlement improvement factor to the two factors
that revealed major influence: the replacement area ratio and the ratio between the deformability of the soft soil and the
deformability of the column material. 相似文献

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

Columnar inclusion is one of the effective and widely used methods for improving the engineering properties of soft clay ground. This article investigates the consolidation behavior of composite soft clay ground using both physical model tests under an axial-symmetry condition and finite element simulations using the PLAXIS 2D program. It was determined that the final settlement and the rate of consolidation of the composite ground depended on the stress state. For an applied stress that is much lower than the failure stress, the final settlement of the composite ground was lower, and the consolidation was rapid. When the soil–cement column failed, the stress on the column suddenly decreased (due to strain-softening); meanwhile, the stress on the soil increased to maintain the force equilibrium. Consequently, the excess pore pressure in the surrounding clay increased immediately. The cracked soil–cement column acted as a drain, which accelerated the dissipation of the excess pore pressure. The consolidation of the composite ground was mainly observed in the vertical direction and was controlled by the area ratio, which is the ratio of the diameter of the soil–cement column to the diameter of the composite ground, a. The stress on the column was shown to be low for a composite ground with a high value of a, which resulted in less settlement and fast consolidation. For a long soil–cement column, the excess pore pressures in the surrounding clay and the column were essentially the same at a given consolidation time throughout the improvement depth. It is proposed that the soil–cement column and surrounding clay form a compressible ground, and the consolidation occurs in the vertical direction. The composite coefficient of consolidation (cv(com)) that was obtained from the physical model test on the composite ground can be used to approximate the rate of consolidation. This approximation was validated via a finite element simulation. The proposed method is highly useful to geotechnical engineers because of its simplicity and reliable prediction. 相似文献

A multi-column composite foundation is a new concept utilizing different column types with varying lengths and diameters to support the embankment fill and to mobilize the strength and stiffness of the soil at shallow depths. This study presents the results of finite element analyses using the finite element software PLAXIS to investigate the consolidation behavior of a road embankment constructed on a multi-column composite foundation. The finite element results are calibrated for a period of 200 days. The settlement, horizontal displacement, differential settlement, column axial force, and the development and dissipation of excess pore pressure are presented and discussed in detail. It is concluded that a multi-column composite foundation allows a fast rate of consolidation and significantly increases the embankment stability. A multi-column composite foundation formed by CFG–lime columns is more effective than one formed by SC–lime columns. The CFG–lime columns improve the long-term stability of the embankment because the compression modulus of CFG columns is significantly greater than that of SC columns. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to improve the understanding of load transfer mechanism of Geogrid-Reinforced Pile-Supported Embankments (GRPS) via a new 3D analytical approach and comprehensive field tests. A full-scale embankment was built over a silty clay of medium compressibility as a part of the Liuzhou-to-Nanning High-speed Railway (LNHR) in China. Six sections of the embankment have been heavily instrumented producing comprehensive data of high quality. Field measurements evidence the existence of soil arching, membrane contribution and ground reaction, phenomena that are all contributing to load transfer mechanism. The new 3D analytical arching model accounts for a triangular arrangement of piles and, unlike existing methods, accounts for all relevant components of load transfer mechanisms. In addition, two key parameters were introduced in the model: an elastoplastic state parameter of soil arching (α) and a coefficient of equivalent uniform stress (β). The former was used to satisfy the load equilibrium in case of partial arching while the latter was adopted to allow possible nonuniform vertical stress acting on the ground surface. The so-called ground reaction method was incorporated in an innovative manner to take into account the reactive support of the subsoil beneath geogrid-reinforced layer when estimating the tension development in the geogrid. Finally, the performance of the proposed model was assessed against several existing models and field measurements. Results showed that the new model presented herein outperforms existing models and satisfactorily predicts both the pile efficiency and tension development within the geogrid. 相似文献

The rigid pile composite foundation is widely used in highway projects in soft soil area as it can effectively increase the bearing capacity and stability of the foundation. While the research on the behavior and failure mode of rigid pile composite foundation under embankment is not enough, instability failure of rigid pile composite foundation often occurs in practical projects. This paper presents a centrifuge model test to investigate the load transfer mechanism, settlement characteristic and failure mode of rigid pile composite foundation under embankment. The test results show that: the soil displacement of different region in rigid pile composite foundation was different, obvious vertical displacement occurred in the soil under the center of embankment and the horizontal displacement was very small in this region; both vertical and horizontal displacement occurred in the soil under the shoulder of embankment; and obvious horizontal displacement occurred in the soil under the slope toe of embankment; moreover, ground heave also occurred near the slope toe of embankment. The soil displacement in rigid pile composite foundation had a large influence on the stress characteristic and failure mode of rigid piles, the compressive failure and bending failure would probably occur for the piles under the center and shoulder of the embankment, respectively, and the tension-bending failure would probably occur for the piles under the slope toe of embankment. The different failure modes of piles at different regions should be considered in the design of rigid pile composite foundation under embankment. The test results can be used to improve the design method for rigid pile composite foundation under embankment in practical projects.

桩承式加筋路堤三维土拱效应试验研究 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
桩承式加筋路堤受力性状比较复杂,土拱效应对路堤的承载变形性状具有重要影响。通过三维土拱效应模型试验,研究桩-土相对位移、路堤高度、桩帽净间距和水平加筋体拉伸强度等因素对桩土应力比及路堤沉降的影响。结果表明：土拱效应发挥程度与桩-土相对位移密切相关,存在一个临界桩-土相对位移使得桩土应力比达到最大值,该临界桩-土相对位移约为6～8 mm。路堤高度与桩帽净间距之比越大,桩土应力比越大,路堤顶面差异沉降越小;桩帽宽度与桩帽净间距之比越大,桩土应力比越大,路堤顶面差异沉降越小。设置水平加筋体能有效提高桩土应力比并减小路堤顶面沉降;路堤越低,水平加筋体对桩土应力比的提高作用及对路面沉降的减小作用越明显;水平加筋体拉伸强度越高,这种作用越明显。桩承式加筋路堤三维土拱效应等沉面高度与桩帽净间距之比约为3.5。 相似文献

Dry soil mix (DSM) columns can be used to reduce the settlement of embankments constructed on soft clays and to improve the stability. During construction the shear strength of the columns needs to be confirmed for compliance with technical assumptions. However, the measurement of the column shear strength can be a contentious issue. All methods of assessing the ultimate shear strength of DSM columns have limitations. These are caused by uncertainties in empirical probe factors required to convert pullout or push in force measured during the lime column penetration test to shear strength and/or testing a small proportion of the DSM column volume and determining whether it is representative of the strength of the entire column. The penetration resistance measured using the lime column test is considered to be more representative of average column shear strength than some other test types. This test can be carried out as a pullout resistance test (PORT) or a push in resistance test (PIRT). Both PORT and PIRT require empirical correlations of measured resistance to an absolute measure of shear strength, in a similar manner to the Piezocone test. In this paper, finite element techniques developed for assessment of T-bar, Ball and Piezocone penetration tests , and are used to assess bounds for the empirical probe factor, N. To simulate the cemented DSM columns, analyses have incorporated a model for a strain softening material. Measured settlements from an embankment constructed on DSM ground improvement are then compared with finite element calculations to infer the shear strength of the columns. These inferred shear strengths are then compared with the results of PORT tests performed beneath the embankment. 相似文献

现有的土拱效应计算方法中,由于采用的计算模型不同,计算结果差异很大。文中克服传统连续介质力学模型的宏观连续性假设,采用二维颗粒流程序（PFC）建立基于模型试验的细观数值分析模型,对桩承式路堤中土体接触力、应力分布、主应力方向、竖向位移进行分析,并比较计算和实测结果,研究土拱效应的荷载传递机制。同时,对不同桩帽、桩间距、填土高度、颗粒大小、摩擦角的情况进行PFC方法的参数敏感性分析。研究结果表明,桩承式路堤桩顶处局部范围可按弹性核考虑;土拱的分布型式受桩帽型式、桩净距、格栅的影响;实际土拱作用的影响范围主要集中在路堤底面以上约1倍桩净距的区域;土拱内部的竖向应力和水平应力均随深度非线性改变,桩土应力比随着荷载水平、土体内摩擦角、颗粒大小的增大而增加。 相似文献

The use of natural fibers such as coir for soil improvement is highly attractive in countries where such materials are locally and economically obtainable, in view of the preservation of natural environment and cost effectiveness. This paper discusses shear strength of clay reinforced with randomly distributed coir fibers based on a series of consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests. Test results show that major principal stress at failure for clay-coir fiber matrix increases with increase in fiber content (W f ) and fiber aspect ratio (A r ). For all the combinations of fiber contents and aspect ratios, failure principal stress envelope exhibits a curvilinear variation with a transition at a confining stress, known as critical confining stress. Separate regression analyses have been performed for observations below and above critical confining stress to develop mathematical models, which consider fiber content, aspect ratio, confining stress and plain soil characteristics as the input parameter, to predict major principal stress at failure for the clay-fiber composite. In general, the study identifies that the inclusion of discrete coir fibers in random fashion significantly improves the shear strength of clay and hence could be effectively used for the cases where in-place mixing of soil with fibers is possible (e.g., pavement sub-grade, landfill liner, small embankment). The developed regression models may be used in the design phase for the rough estimation of shear strength of the composite. 相似文献

Temporal variations in the concentration and N isotopic ratios of inorganic N (NH4– and NO3–N) as affected by the soil temperature regime together with the input of bird excreta were analyzed in a sedentary soil under a dense colony (1.6 nests/m2) of breeding Black-tailed Gulls (Laruscrassirostris: a ground-nesting seabird). Surface soil samples were taken monthly from mid-March to late July 2005 from Kabushima Island, Hachinohe, northeastern Japan. The spatial concentration of inorganic N in the soils varied considerably on all sampling dates. There may be a statistically significant trend, showing increased NH4–N content from settlement up to early June when the input of fecal N attains its maximum, and then decreases towards the end of breeding activity (early August). Abundant NO3–N was observed in all soils, particularly in the later stage of breeding (up to 3800 mg-N/kg dry soil), refuting earlier claims that nitrification is unimportant in the soils. δ15N values of NH4 in the soils showed unusually high values up to +51‰, reflecting N isotope fractionation due to volatilization of NH3 during the mineralization. Mean δ15N values of the monthly collected totals of NH4 and NO3 were not significantly different at the 5% level based on ANOVA and significant differences were observed only among the three means of NO3–N collected in mid-March (settlement of colony: δ15N = −0.2 ± 3.5‰) and late July (later stages of breeding: δ15N = +22.1 ± 7.0‰, +23.3 ± 7.8‰) at the 1% and 5% levels by t-test, respectively. Such an observation of significantly increased δ15N values for NO3–N in soils from the fledgling stage indicates the integration of denitrification coupled with nitrification under a limited supply of fecal N. 相似文献

In order to reduce the effects of the low strength and high compressibility of soft soil, geosynthetic-reinforced pile foundations (GRPF) are widely applied for the construction of high-speed railways. Though its reinforcement effect is proved acceptable in practices so far, it is unclear whether it will keep this performance as the train speed continues increasing. Since it is impossible to study the problem in field tests, only mathematical and physical models can be used. However, the nonlinear behaviour of the soft soil complicates the use of analytical models. Therefore, this paper presents a small-scale model test to study the possible changes in stress distribution and deformation in the GRPF under increasing dynamic loads. One test with a natural foundation, without piles or geosynthetic, shows the difference with a similar construction with GRPF foundation. Furthermore, three GRPF tests show the influence of the embankment thickness. The results show the long-term dynamic loading significantly affects the dynamic stress and displacements of the subsoil between the piles of the GRPF. This effect can be divided into three stages with an increasing level of load amplitude: no impact, advantageous impact, and adverse impact. When the dynamic load reaches the adverse impact stage, the long-term dynamic loads reduce the dynamic pile–soil stress ratio, which means that more soil settlement will develop, because more dynamic stress is applied to the soft soil. The test results show that the reduction in dynamic stress on the subsoil in the GRPF construction is clearly lower than the dynamic stress on the natural foundation, due to the existence of rigid piles. Moreover, a thicker embankment gives significantly lower dynamic stresses on the subsoil between the piles. For the thickest embankment tested, the adverse impact stage was not found at all: the arching kept enhancing under long-term dynamic loading with high load amplitudes.

Earthquake-induced deformations for a bridge approach earth embankment are predicted using a calibrated numerical model. The
constitutive soil model is a modified hyperbolic model that uses Masing rules and incremental pore pressure relations. The
model was calibrated using both laboratory and field data. A shaking table physical model was used to verify the numerical
simulation. Additionally, the upper San Fernando dam was modeled to reproduce the deformations in the 1971 earthquake. The
subsurface and embankment soil conditions were characterized using field and laboratory methods. The model developed was used
to predict the earthquake-induced deformations of an approach embankment to Bridge A1466 in the NMSZ near Hayti, Missouri,
where strong earthquakes M > 7.0 are anticipated in the next 50 years. 相似文献

Numerical simulations and field measurements of an embankment constructed on a deposit of soft Ariake clay in Saga, Japan are compared and discussed. The simulations were made both before (Class-A) and after (Class-C) the field data became known. It is shown that the Class-A prediction resulted in poor simulations of the measured settlement–time curves, mainly due to over-estimation of the magnitude of the yield stresses of the subsoils (i.e., the sizes of the yielding loci) and under-estimation of the compressibility, hydraulic conductivity and the slope (M) of the critical state line. It is demonstrated that: (a) appropriate site investigation, soil testing and interpretation of the test results are essential for accurate prediction of the behaviour of an earth structure constructed on soft clayey deposits; (b) when using a soil model developed within the framework of Critical State Soil Mechanics to make such predictions, M value should be directly determined from tests with an appropriate effective stress path; and (c) yield stresses of soft soil layers can be calibrated by comparing the predicted undrained shear strengths (Su) with measured values, provided the effect of strain rate and/or strain softening on the value of Su is properly considered. The results of this analysis indicate that Bjerrum’s strain rate correction factor can be adopted as a first approximation of the correction factor applied to field or laboratory measured values of Su. 相似文献

Radioactive iodine is one of the most problematic radionuclides because of its long half life and high mobility. Mobility of iodine depends on the chemical form to a great extent. This paper reports the results of soil column experiments we conducted to evaluate the mobilities of IO3− and I−. In order to determine the mechanisms of adsorption of IO3− and I− on soil, adsorption isotherms were obtained by batch experiments. Both adsorption isotherms of IO3− and I− are well explained by Langmuir model. The adsorption maximum of IO3− is about five times larger than that of I−. In the column experiments, iodine distributions between soil and pore water in the soil column were determined at various depths. Chemical forms of iodine in soil and pore water were determined by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and high performance liquid chromatography connected to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC–ICP-MS), respectively. Vertical profiles of iodine in pore water were simulated using Visual MODFLOW. Our results showed, upon I− infiltration through the column, that a small amount of I− adsorbed on soil, and its mobility is mainly controlled by advection and dispersion. The profile of iodine concentration in pore water was well simulated by assuming equilibrium-controlled Langmuir type adsorption without considering any chemical transformations. For the IO3− addition system into the column, however, IO3− adsorbed to soil to a larger degree, which causes a much larger retardation effect than I−. In addition, reduction of IO3− to I− was also confirmed in both soil and pore water by XANES and HPLC–ICP-MS, respectively. The fraction of I− increased toward the deeper end in both phases because of its lower affinity for soil than IO3−, where the reduced I− was released to the pore water and transported by the water flow. In this study, such reduction effect was clearly demonstrated by the speciation analyses of iodine in both soil and water phases, which confirmed that the mobility of I− is a dominant factor that controls the fate of iodine in the surface environment. 相似文献

对于桩承式路堤作用效应的研究目前主要侧重于对静荷载作用下桩土应力比和土拱效应等,较少考虑动荷载的影响,而车辆运行产生的动应力会对路堤中的土拱产生一定的影响,进而影响桩承式路堤的整体性能。为了分析静、动荷载作用下桩承式加筋路堤的性能变化,采用可视化模型试验和颗粒流数值模拟相结合的方法,对桩承式路堤在静载和动载下的应力传递和变形性状进行研究,分析动载作用下填土高度、桩帽、桩距、加筋形式、荷载频率的影响。试验结果表明,在动载下无筋路堤的桩顶的应力减小,而桩间的应力和位移增大,并且变化的幅度均比加筋路堤大,加筋材料的设置有利于减小动载的影响效应,但不同加筋形式下桩承式路堤的工作性状有所不同,受动载影响程度的大小主要与土拱效应的强弱有关。设置双层加筋时,因加筋材料与周围砂土形成半刚性平台,土拱效应减弱,故受动载影响的程度最小,单层加筋时,格栅设于桩顶上方10 cm比格栅置于桩顶受动载影响的程度明显减小,颗粒流的模拟结果验证了以上结果,并且进一步得出随荷载频率的增加、填土高度与桩净距的减小,动载的影响效应增大的结论。 相似文献
