Summary Results of resonant column tests were used to determine values of low amplitude shear modulus (G
0) of a remoulded kaolinite clay for different durations of ageing and for different values of consolidation stress (0) and overconsolidation ratio (OCR). It was found that after completion of primary consolidation the values of G
0 increased linearly with the logarithm of time and after a week of confinement the value of normalized rate of secondary increase of shear modulus (N
G
) could be reliably estimated. Values of N
G
were found to derease linearly with the logarithm of OCR and with the logarithm of ageing duration. This similarity of behaviour provided a basis for establishing an equivalency between age and equivalent overconsolidation ratio (OCR)eq. The effects of 0 and OCR on the value of G
0 were also established in a functional form that indicated a stronger influence compared to that predicted by the Hardin Equation. 相似文献

Summary A review is presented of conceptual approaches that are currently in use for interpreting the operation of reinforced soil.
The concepts of enhanced confining pressure and of reduced normal tensile strains are found to be closely related to current
experimental and theoretical investigations as well as to the design methodologies available at present for reinforced soil
applications. Focusing on the enhanced confining pressure concept, analytical expressions are developed that allow the estimation
of the value of equivalent confining stress increase when the properties of soil and reinforcement and the state of stresses
acting on a cylindrical reinforced soil element are known. The derived expressions can also be utilized for estimating the
soil-reinforcement friction angle from the results of triaxial tests on cylindrical samples reinforced with horizontal layers
of reinforcement. 相似文献

Following a comprehensive review of the subject of man-made ground vibrations, measurements of ground vibration caused by vibratory sheetpile driving in recent soil deposits are reported in terms of particle velocities vs. distance from the source of vibration. The measurements were conducted on paved surfaces and sidewalks in the inner urban environment. Reconstructed particle displacement paths indicated, predominantly, vertical vibrations of the Rayleigh type. The attenuation rate of vibrations with distance was compared to published results of other studies and satisfactory agreement was found to exist. Values of particle velocity measured in this study, however, were lower than corresponding values of other studies under comparable values of rated vibratory kinetic energy. This is possibly due to different soil conditions. Average and upper bound linear log–log attenuation relationships are proposed, which fit the results of measurements and are representative of the conditions likely to be encountered in the urban environment. Measurement of vibrations on higher floors of multistory reinforced concrete buildings indicated a significant amplification of vertical vibration and an average curve for amplification magnitude vs. floor level was fitted to the results of measurements. A comparison of measured values of vibration with the observed performance of buildings and with damage threshold values suggested by existing codes and standards indicated that the latter do not provide safety against damage caused by vibratory densification of loose sandy soils. On the other hand, the existing criteria for human exposure to vibrations in buildings, according to the results of this study, seem to adequately define the degrees of human discomfort. 相似文献

The amplitude of vertical ground surface vibrations generated by impact tests on the ground surface was measured at various radial distances from the point of impact at locations of Greece. The results of measurements were analyzed in the frequency domain (in the range from 0–100 Hz) and the attenuation characteristics of soil materials were studied in terms of a frequency-independent attenuation coefficient, a0, of the empirical Bornitz equation. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of soil stiffness (expressed by the value of low-amplitude shear wave velocity of soil, VSO) on the value of attenuation coefficient, a0. Values of VSO for the tested soils were estimated by applying the methodology of Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW) technique and utilizing the surface vibration data. An empirical relationship between a0 and VSO1 (VSO1 is the representative value of VSO for the soil profile up to a depth of one wavelength) was established for values of VSO1 ranging from 140 to 1000 m/s. A similar relationship in terms of the low-amplitude shear modulus of soil, GO1, was also established by converting the VSO1 values to GO1 values. The experimental results were compared to values reported in the literature for comparable soil types and frequencies of vibration and a reasonable agreement was found to exist. The proposed empirical relationship can be utilized in many practical applications of soil dynamics requiring the knowledge of the attenuation rate of Rayleigh waves with distance in various types of soils. 相似文献

Following a brief overview of the history and the development of the Surface Wave Method—with a focus on techniques for processing and inverting field data—a Simplified Inversion Method (SIM) is described, which constitutes an improvement of the Satoh et al. (1991) [1] method. The SIM is a direct inversion method of surface wave dispersion data, making use of a penetration depth coefficient, aR, whose value is a function of Poisson's ratio and the overall shape of the dispersion curve. In the present study the coefficient aR has been evaluated using data from (a) an extensive database compiled from the technical literature and containing results of inverted surface wave measurements and nearby cross-hole/down-hole measurements, (b) results of side by side surface wave and cross-hole measurements, performed at five sites in the course of this study, (c) finite element analyses simulating the performance of surface wave measurements and thus providing “virtual” data, and (d) applying a current advanced inversion code, available on the Web. Based on all the above data, optimum values of aR (and of the corresponding uncertainty of the derived Vso vs. depth profile) have been estimated. These values were found to be independent of depth from ground surface. The results of all analyses and comparisons indicate that for the majority of realistic soil profiles (including cases of normal and inverse dispersion conditions) the proposed SIM provides very reliable Vso vs. depth profiles when a value of aR=0.63–0.67 is used in the inversion process. It is concluded that the SIM can be used with confidence as a direct inversion method of surface wave dispersion data. 相似文献

Results are presented of laboratory resonant column and cyclic triaxial tests on specimens of two compacted soils (a sandy–silty clay and a sand–gravel mixture), planned to be used in the core and the shells, respectively, of a proposed earthfill dam. The values of low-amplitude shear modulus of the clayey material were found to increase with increasing confining pressure and decreasing water content, with deviations of ±20% from the predictions of the “Hardin equation”. On the other hand, the low-amplitude damping ratio was found to be at least four times higher than the values corresponding to natural undisturbed cohesive soils. The proposed G/G0−γc curve for the compacted cohesive soil was found to be independent of confining pressure and small variations of the water content on either side of the optimum value and showed a remarkable agreement with recently published similar curves for natural cohesive soils. For the case of the sand–gravel mixture, normalized G/G0–γc and D–γc curves are proposed, based on recently published results for gravelly soils and the limited data of the present study. The liquefaction resistance of the saturated sand–gravel mixture was found to be strongly dependent on its relative density, especially for high values of cyclic stress ratio. A relative density of at least 55% was found to be necessary to assure safety against earthquake-induced liquefaction of the material. The results presented herein may be used (directly or as guide) in the seismic analysis of (new or existing) earth dams constructed from similar soil materials and in addition they provide insight into the dynamic behavior of compacted soils. 相似文献

The Greek coastal town of Egion on 15 June 1995 was shaken by a strong, small epicentral distance, earthquake that caused heavy damages to buildings and loss of life. The damages were concentrated in the central elevated part of the town whereas the flat coastal region remained almost intact. This non-uniform distribution of damage is studied in this article in terms of surface topography effects by conducting seismic response analyses of a simplified 2-D profile of the town. A dynamic finite element code implementing the equivalent-linear soil behavior (FLUSHPLUS) was used for the analyses and it was found that the step-like topography amplified greatly the intensity of motion without affecting its frequency content. The analyses showed that the motion recorded by an accelerograph installed at the center of the town is in agreement with the computed values; they also indicated a particularly intense amplification close to the crest of the steep slope, where a multi-story RC residential building partially collapsed. In contrast, the level of motion was found to be low at the flat coastal zone of the town where the earthquake damages were insignificant. It is concluded that the characteristic surface topography of the town played an important role in modifying the intensity of base motion. 相似文献

Summary Values of the low-amplitude shear modulus, G
o, of a marl underlying the city of Kalamata, Greece, obtained by in situ crosshole and laboratory resonant column techniques are presented in the paper. It was found that the laboratory values were lower than their field counterparts and the difference was considered to be the result of (i) the temporary stress release following sampling and (ii) the mechanical disturbance associated with specimen preparation. By utilizing previous experimental results relating the field versus laboratory difference in the value of G
o to the age of the clay deposit, it became possible to estimate the age of the particular marl which was found to agree with the geologically expected age of the deposit. The approach taken in this study may, upon further improvement, become a useful technique for dating geological materials, especially those possessing cohesion. 相似文献
