The safety and stability of core wall rockfill dams during impoundment are threatened by the wetting deformation of up-stream shell materials. The serious wetting deformation not only aggravates the collapse settlement of upstream rockfill but also intensifies differential settlement of the dam crest during impoundment, and then causes cracks on the dam crest. On the basis of the proposed wetting deformation model and its simulation method of wetting deformation, this paper simulated the impoundment process of Guanyinyan core wall rockfill dam and studied the deformation characteristic of the dam during impoundment. In addition, the smeared cracking model was used to simulate the crack propagation on the dam crest, and the crack develop and spread mechanism was analysed. The results show that the simulated deformation can fit the in-situ data well, and the simulated crack propagation is in good agreement with the actual situation. Once watered, the upstream rockfill and core wall have significant settlement, and the whole dam crest has obvious horizontal displacement towards the upstream. It is on the same order of magnitude that the increment of horizontal displacement and settlement at the top of the dam during impoundment. In the process of impoundment, the upper part of the dam tends to deform towards the reservoir area, which will lead to tensile cracks appearing in the rockfill areas on both upstream and downstream sides of the core wall of the dam crest, and the propagation direction of the cracks is basically parallel to the adjacent core wall surface. With the water level rising, the cracks on the downstream side of the dam crest mainly extend vertically, and the cracks on the upstream side of the dam crest not only extend vertically, but also extend horizontally.  相似文献

The Continuum Voronoi Block Model for simulation of fracture process in hard rocks     

Erick Rgenes  Mrcio Muniz de Farias  Leandro Lima Rasmussen 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2022,46(1):89-112

In this paper, a numerical model is presented to represent the fracture process in hard rocks based on a pseudo-discontinuum method called the Continuum Voronoi Block Model (CVBM). To validate this tool, numerical models for one Brazilian test, one unconfined compression test, and multiple triaxial compression tests with different confining stress were calibrated to match laboratory test results for Creighton granite. The model proved robust and matched the following macro-properties: crack initiation (CI) stress, (CD) stress, peak strength, tensile strength, Young's Modulus, and Poisson's ratio. The calibrated model served as a basis for a sensitivity study to analyze how micro-properties influence the rock's macroscopic responses. From the sensitivity study, a calibration methodology was proposed, which shall facilitate the use of the CVBM in future works.  相似文献

对于半潜式钻井平台浮箱,裂纹的扩展不仅影响结构的水密性甚至可能对结构的安全产生巨大威胁,并直接决定平台的整体使用寿命。以南海某平台为研究对象,对浮箱板壳椭圆形表面裂纹前沿应力强度因子的分布规律,以及裂纹形状系数对裂纹前沿应力强度因子分布规律的影响等进行了研究。在此基础上,基于BS7910规范中‘合于使用’原则,对裂纹的临界状态进行了分析和评定,为海洋环境条件下半潜式钻井平台浮箱表面裂纹的极限尺寸研究提供了一种科学的方法。  相似文献   

地震作用下双层土裂缝边坡稳定性分析          下载免费PDF全文

梁承龙  刘芳 《地震工程学报》2022,44(5):1050-1058

裂缝常存在于边坡表面，地震作用会大幅降低裂缝边坡稳定性。针对双层土裂缝边坡稳定性问题，定义上下土层分界处高度与边坡高度之比为深度系数以描述双层土的分布，基于极限分析上限定理，构建“点到点”离散运动学机构，并在此机构中引入一条垂直张拉裂缝，结合拟静力法和强度折减法建立能量平衡方程求解裂缝边坡临界高度和安全系数上限解。计算结果与传统上限法进行对比，验证离散运动学机构的有效性及其解的优越性，同时探究土体非均质性及深度系数对裂缝边坡稳定性以及裂缝深度和位置的影响规律。结果表明，地震作用会降低边坡稳定性；随着地震力增大，边坡临界滑动面逐渐加深，裂缝深度略微增大，裂缝位置逐渐远离坡面；对于具体的双层土边坡会存在一个特定的深度系数使边坡安全系数达到最值，同时裂缝会穿越至下层土且深度发生突增。  相似文献
