Abstract

The construction of a 100-km road network is planned on a land reclamation area in the Oujiang Estuary in China. The embankment had a height of 4 m and a base width of 60 m. The reclamation area is newly filled by a 3-m dredger fill on a 48-m thick layer of marine clay. Estimation of the settlement of the future road network is difficult. To guide the construction of the road network, a 1/100-scale centrifuge model test was performed with a marine clay sample from the construction site to simulate the layered settlements and evaluate the drainage effect of prefabricated vertical drains in the dredger fill in the following 10 years. The results of the centrifuge modeling test are verified by 10-month in situ monitoring, which shows agreement between the centrifuge modeling test results and the in situ results. The test results indicate that additional time is needed to reinforce the newly added dredger fill by the surcharge preloading method to uplift the elevation of the reclamation area with dredger fill.  相似文献   

Post-Miocene stratigraphy and depositional environments of valley-fill sequences at the mouth of Tampa Bay, Florida     

Thomas W. Ferguson  Richard A. Davis  Jr.   《Marine Geology》2003,200(1-4):157-170

Post-Miocene sea-level low stands allowed rivers and karst processes to incise the exposed carbonate platform along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Few Miocene to mid-Pleistocene deposits survived erosion along the present coast except within incised valleys. Since their formation, these valleys have been filled and incised multiple times in response to sea-level changes. The thick sedimentary sequences underlying the mouth of Tampa Bay have been recorded as a range of depositional environments and multiple sea-level incursions and excursions during pre-Holocene time and subsequent to the accumulation of the Miocene carbonate sequences. Sediment analysis of cores collected from a north–south transect across the mouth of Tampa Bay has enabled the identification of lithofacies, ranging from well-sorted, quartz sand to dense, fossiliferous, phosphatic grainstone. These facies were deposited in freshwater, estuarine, and shallow, open marine environments. As a result of channel development and migration within the paleovalley, and cut-and-fill associated with individual transgressions and regressions, correlation of the lithofacies does not extend across the entire transect. Fining-upward sequences truncated by tidal ravinement surfaces that extend throughout the paleovalley can, however, be identified. Age determinations based on 14-C analysis, amino-acid racemization, and strontium isotope analysis dating of numerous samples yield ages of Miocene, Pliocene, early Pleistocene, and late Pleistocene, as well as Holocene for sequences that accumulated and were preserved in this valley-fill complex. Numerous inconsistencies in the stratigraphic organization of the age determinations indicate that there are bad dates, considerable reworking of shells that were dated, or both. For this reason as well as the lack of detailed correlation among the three relatively complete cores, it is not possible to place these strata in a sequence stratigraphic framework.  相似文献

双连拱隧道是一种新的隧道形式, 由于其整体跨度大、结构复杂、施工工序繁琐, 在地形偏压、地质条件复杂的情况下修建双连拱隧道难度较高, 尤其在洞口段容易出现衬砌开裂、边坡变形等一系列工程问题。结合安徽铜黄高速公路汤屯段富溪隧道进口段工程, 采用地质条件研究与数值模拟分析相结合的研究手段, 对复杂地质条件下偏压双连拱隧道围岩① 边坡体系在施工过程中应力应变发展过程进行了研究。综合分析表明, 富溪隧道进口段处于F5断层影响带内, 岩体呈碎裂结构,同时, 受到地形偏压影响, 隧道开挖后衬砌和围岩表现为沉降变形和侧向变形, 进口边坡在隧道围岩变形的诱导下, 表现为蠕滑- 拉裂变形破裂。根据以上研究成果, 提出了富溪隧道变形治理应以控制进口段隧道拱顶的变形为主。  相似文献

层状岩体顺层滑动但却存在反倾的后缘结构面的边坡稳定性研究尚未见到具体讨论。本文采用了数值模拟方法对锦屏一级水电站引渠内侧边坡的稳定性进行了分析,通过结构面参数折减法,求得该边坡稳定性系数为1.191,后端岩体对前端不稳定体不存在推力。通过数值分析方法和极限平衡法对结构面相关参数的敏感性进行了分析对比,对比表明采用参数折减法的数值分析方法结果可靠。本文为类似复杂岩体边坡稳定性判定提供参考。  相似文献

Time-dependent stress change during failure of rocks     

V.T. Belikov  A.F. Shestakov 《Russian Geology and Geophysics》2008,49(5):350-356

The energy balance of a solid subject to fracture has been explored using heat and mass transfer equations with regard to the volumetric and superficial components. In the suggested model, brittle fracture of a cracked solid considered as a heterogeneous two-phase medium is described by an equation analogous to the Griffith’s criterion for propagation of a single crack. The derived equation is used, together with estimates of relative change in specific interface area, to study the respective change of free strain energy and pressure in rocks associated with failure.  相似文献   

An implementation of rock engineering system for ranking the instability potential of natural slopes in Greek territory. An application in Karditsa County   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This paper presents an application of rock engineering system (RES) in an attempt to reveal and assess the inherent instability potential of 388 sites where equivalent landslides have been manifested and recorded in the region of Karditsa County, Greece. The main objective has been defining the principal causative and triggering factors responsible for the manifestation of landslide phenomena, quantify their interactions, obtain their weighted coefficients, and calculate the instability index, which refers to the inherent potential instability of each natural slope of the examined region. From the statistical interpretation of the data reported in a well-documented database and concerning the examined failure sites, a clear correlation between the instability index and the area affected by a single landslide event has been revealed. Almost the entire failure sites, 98% of the examined slope sites, exhibit an instability index value over 55, a value which is thought to be a critical threshold for landslide manifestation concerning natural slopes in Karditsa County. It is argued that the presented RES methodology, engaging the selected set of parameters, could be considered as an effective expert's tool for ranking, in an objectively optimal and simple way, the instability potential of natural slopes in Karditsa County, and thus providing a tool for sound zoning landslide hazard.  相似文献
