Effect of overburden pressure and degree of saturation on compressibility characteristics     

B. R. Phanikumar  K. Amrutha 《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2014,9(1):52-62

The settlement of a structure founded on clay comprises of immediate and consolidation settlements. In the case of clays, consolidation settlement is more than immediate settlement. The parameters influencing consolidation settlement of a normally loaded clay layer are degree of saturation (S%), void ratio (e) of soil prior to excavation, amount of overburden (σ_o) removed, amount of rebound and intensity of loading (σ) upon building superstructure. This paper presents the effect of the above parameters on compressibility characteristics of a clay. The different steps undertaken for footing construction were simulated in the laboratory. Remoulded clay samples were prepared from oven-dry fraction passing 425 μm sieve. The density of the samples was kept constant at 13 kN/m³. Degree of saturation was varied at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The surcharge on the samples (overburden in the case of field clay layer) was varied as 25 kPa, 50 kPa and 100 kPa. Compressibility characteristics such as initial compression under the applied surcharge (overburden), rebound upon removal of surcharge and recompression were studied through one-dimensional consolidation tests. The rate and amount of initial compression, rebound, e-σ and e-log σ curves, compression index (C_c), coefficient of compressibility (a_v) and coefficient of volume compressibility (m_v) were studied.  相似文献

磐安结构性黄土动阻尼特征及其演化规律研究     

慕焕东  孙萍  李荣建  朱思珍 《地质力学学报》2017,23(6):935-942

地震作用往往会导致结构性黄土动强度的衰减,引发黄土滑坡、振陷等一系列地质灾害,而强度的衰减与其阻尼特性密切相关,因而结构性黄土的动态阻尼特征及其演化规律问题是岩土工程抗震的重要研究课题之一。为此,以天水磐安结构性黄土为研究对象,开展了天然、饱和条件下原状黄土和重塑黄土的动力学特性试验。在试验基础上,分析并比较了黄土的动模量、动阻尼响应特征及其演化规律。研究表明:天然、饱和条件下原状黄土和重塑黄土的动应力随动应变的增大而增大,动模量随动应变的增大而减小,动阻尼比随着动应变的增大而增大;受黄土结构性的影响,原状黄土的最大动模量比重塑黄土的稍大,原状、重塑黄土的最大动模量比饱和原状、饱合重塑黄土的稍大;黄土结构性较强时需要考虑试样固结应力对阻尼比的影响,饱和重塑黄土可以忽略试样固结应力对阻尼比的影响。  相似文献

Influence of size of granulated rubber and tyre chips on the shear strength characteristics of sand–rubber mix     

P. Anbazhagan  D. R. Manohar  Divyesh Rohit 《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2017,12(4):266-278

Use of scrap tyres in isolation systems for seismic damping, requires a knowledge of the engineering properties of sand–rubber mixtures (SRM). The primary objective of this study is to assess the influence of granulated rubber and tyre chips size and the gradation of sand on the strength behaviour of SRM by carrying out large-scale direct shear tests. A large direct shear test has been carried out on SRM considering different granulated rubber and tyre chip sizes and compositions. The following properties were investigated to know the effect of granulated rubber on dry sand; peak shear stress, cohesion, friction angle, secant modulus and volumetric strain. From the experiments, it was determined that the major factors influencing the above-mentioned properties were granulated rubber and tyre chip sizes, percentage of rubber in SRM and the normal stress applied. It was observed that the peak strength was significantly increased with increasing granulated rubber size up to rubber size VI (passing 12.5 mm and retained on 9.5 mm), and by adding granulated rubber up to 30%. This study shows that granulated rubber size VI gives maximum shear strength values at 30% rubber content. It was also found that more uniformly graded sand gives an improved value of shear strength with the inclusion of granulated rubber when compared to poorly graded sand.  相似文献   

Comparison of geotechnical uncertainties linked to different soil characterization methods     

Mwajuma Ibrahim Lingwanda  Anders Prästings  Stefan Larsson  Dalmas L. Nyaoro 《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2017,12(2):137-151

One of the essential inputs in settlement prediction models is the soil modulus, which may be obtained from laboratory tests or estimated from in situ measurements. The total uncertainty in predicting the confined modulus of a sandy soil is quantified with data from side-by-side in situ testing using the standard penetration test, the static cone penetration test, the light dynamic probing and the laboratory oedometer test. To estimate transformation errors, correlations are proposed between in situ and laboratory data. The results indicate that similar magnitudes of total uncertainties are associated with the in situ methods, which are approximately twice as high as those from the direct oedometer method. The quantified uncertainties are an important input for reliability-based designs of foundations under similar soil conditions.  相似文献

杨贵  孙欣  王阳阳 《岩土力学》2018,39(5):1669-1674

基于中型三轴仪开展了高聚物堆石料回弹模量试验,分析了高聚物堆石料卸载－再加载的力学特性和回弹模量变化规律。结果表明：围压和应力水平对体积变化规律有明显影响,随着试验围压的增大,试样由初始状态的剪胀逐渐变为剪缩;高围压下,随着应力水平的增大,试样的卸载体缩量呈非线性增大;而围压在100 kPa下,卸载时表现为体胀,不同应力水平下的卸载体缩量相近且较小。平均回弹模量与初始模量的比值大约在3.9～4.2之间,应力水平为0.7条件下对应的回弹模量与平均回弹模量较为接近。高聚物堆石料的回弹模量满足邓肯-张模型关系,数值计算过程中回弹模量系数近似为初始模量系数的4.0～4.2倍。  相似文献
