Model test and numerical analysis on long-term mechanical properties of stepped reinforced retaining wall

Model tests and numerical analyses of stepped reinforced retaining wall were performed to investigate the effects of rheology of backfill and creep of geogrids on the long-term performance of the structure.The geogrid tensions,soil pressures,wall deformations and foundation pressure were measured during model construction and loading.A visco-elasto-plastic model and an empirical nonlinear visco-elastic model were utilized to simulate the stresses and deformations of geogrid-reinforced earth-retaining wall under long-term loads.By comparing test data with numerical results,it is shown that the foundation pressure distribution is nonlinear,and the lateral constraint of geogrids for backfill can cause a redistribution of foundation pressure.The curve of soil pressure is outside convex at each step initially,and it is close to the distribution for the case of vertical wall subsequently.The variation trend of geogrid tensions at different heights is obtained.Moreover,the failure mechanism and development mode of potential slip surface in retaining wall are proposed.     

Reinforcement Efficiency Analysis of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Embankment with Different Soil Pronerties

Based on finite element (FE) method, an analysis program of geosynthetic-reinforcement embankments (GRE) is proposed. The improvement of stress field of surface layer of GRE after reinforcement can be indicated by this program. The comparison of failure area ratio of foundation soil before and after reinforcement is made, so that the efficiency of geosynthetic reinforcement under different soft soil properties can be shown. The embankment soil is simulated with Duncan-Chang model in this program, while reinforcement is modeled with linear elastic model and interface of reinforcement-soil by Goodman elements. Parameters about foundation soil, such as cohesion, inner friction angle and unit weight are considered, as well as three Duncan-Chang model parameters: modulus coefficient, bulk modulus coefficient and break ratio. The relationship between those soil parameters and failure area ratio indicate the reinforcement efficiency of GRE. The results show the cohesion and inner friction angle are the most important parameters for reducing the failure area,while modulus coefficient and bulk modulus coefficient, have little effect on the calculation results; the reinforcement efficiency is low if the cohesion and inner friction angle of foundation soil are too small or too big; different foundation soil will get different conclusions. The selection of model parameter is an important procedure for accurate modeling of GRE by numerical method.

下伏土洞加筋地基条形荷载下应力扩散计算

通过大变形有限元分析,对下伏土洞加筋地基条形荷载下应力扩散的作用机理和沉降进行研究,分析了条形基础置于土体上的土体附加应力扩散、土洞区内应力及沉降变化规律。结果表明,土洞区内出现应力集中,下伏土洞地基沉降主要是由于土洞区内软弱土体变形造成。加筋体会增强应力扩散从而减小沉降,加筋体长度和埋深均存在最佳值;多层加筋较单层加筋更利于应力扩散,且层间会出现未完全拱形应力集中区域;相同加筋范围,层数增大对应力扩散影响较小,增大加筋范围更有助于应力扩散。

Numerical Analysis of the Stability of Embankment Slope Reinforced with Piles

The effects of stabilizing piles on the stability of an embankment slope are analyzed by numerical simulation. The shear strength reduction method is used for the analysis, and the soil - pile interaction is simulated with zero-thickness elasto-plastic interface elements. Effects of pile spacing and pile position on the safety factor of slope and the behavior of piles under these conditions are given. The numerical analysis indicates that the positions of the pile have significant influence on the stability of the slope, and the pile needs to be installed in the middle of the slope for maximum safety factors. In the end, the soil arching effect closely associated with the space between stabilizing piles is analyzed. The results are helpful for design and construction of stabilizing piles.

Bearing Capacity of Mixed Pile with Stiffness Core

To study load transfer mechanism and bearing capacity of a mixed pile with stiffness core (MPSC), which is formed by inserting a precast reinforced concrete pile (PRCP), in-situ tests involving MPSCs with different lengths, diameters, water cement ratios and PRCPs, cement mixed piles, and drilling hole piles, were carried out. Limit bearing capacities, load-settlement curves and stress distribution of MPSCs and mixed piles were obtained. The load transfer between cement soil and PRCP was analyzed by finite element method (FEM). Test results and FEM analysis show that an MPSC has fully utilized the big friction from a cement mixed pile and the high compressive strength from a PRCP which transfers outer top load into the inner cement soil, and that inserting a PRCP into a mixed pile changes the stress distribution of a mixed pile and improves frictional resistance between a mixed pile and soil. The length and the section area on PRCP of an MPSC both have an optimum value. Adopting MPSC is effective in improving the bearing capacity of soft soil ground.     

Bearing Behaviors of Stiffened Deep Cement Mixed Pile

A series of investigations were conducted to study the bearing capacity and load transfer mechanism of stiffened deep cement mixed (SDCM) pile. Laboratory tests including six specimens were conducted to investigate the frictional resistance between the concrete core and the cement soil. Two model piles and twenty-four full-scale piles were tested to examine the bearing behavior of single pile. Laboratory and model tests results indicate that the cohesive strength is large enough to ensure the interaction between core pile and the outer cement-soil. The full-scale test results show that the SDCM piles exhibit similar bearing behavior to bored and cast-in-place concrete piles. In general, with the rational composite structure the SDCM piles can transmit the applied load effectively, and due to the addition of the stiffer core, the SDCM piles possess high bearing capacity. Based on the findings of these experimental investigations and theoretical analysis, a practical design method is developed to predict the vertical bearing capacity of SDCM pile.
