根据分级加载条件下的蠕变试验,分析研究了无加筋砂土和土工格栅加筋砂土的蠕变特征,发现蠕变变形与分级加载时的应力水平、初始蠕变应变速率有很大关系,且蠕变后以恒定应变速率重新加载时呈现出刚度很大、近似弹性的行为。针对无加筋砂土和土工格栅加筋砂土提出一种弹黏塑性有限元计算方法。有限元计算过程中,砂土和土工格栅均采用统一的3要素弹黏塑性本构模型。该方法能够对含多个蠕变段的恒定应变速率加载全过程进行模拟。通过试验结果与有限元计算结果的比较,表明所提出的弹黏塑性有限元计算方法能较好地模拟无加筋砂土和土工格栅加筋砂土的蠕变特征,特别是蠕变后重新加载时的刚度很大、近似弹性的行为。

基于一系列同一温度、不同初始含冰量和应变率条件下的高含冰冻结粉质砂土的单轴压缩试验,开展了高含冰量对冻结粉质砂土变形行为和强度特性的初步研究。结果表明：随着试样中初始含冰量的增加,冻结粉质砂土的塑性增强,当初始含冰量超过210.1%后,应力-应变曲线趋近于冰的特性,可用修正的Duncan-Chang双曲线模型较好地描述其单轴压缩应力-应变关系;当应变率为0.083×10-3 s-1和0.467×10-3 s-1时,其初始切线模量呈非线性增大,但当应变率为0.667×10-3 s-1时,初始切线模量增大到一最大值之后转而减小,并且影响程度与应变率大小有关;当初始含冰量从32.9%增加到304.0%,冻结粉质砂土强度也是先非线性增大,然后逐渐趋于稳定,两者可用对数函数关系很好地描述。其研究结果可为开展高含冰冻土区路基的稳定性评价提供基础。     

Creep behaviour of frozen soils in uniaxial compression tests

The stress—strain behaviour of frozen soils is often described by means of creep curves from uniaxial or triaxial creep tests. Ten or twelve tests of similar samples are required to obtain a good relationship between stress σ, strain ε, temperature T and time t or strain rate ε. To reduce the required number of samples it is possible to apply the compression load in creep tests stepwise. Therefore creep curves for different stress levels can be obtained from one sample.

In this paper the bearing capacity of cylindrical samples of frozen medium sand under constant uniaxial compression stress and under stepwise increased stresses is compared. It is shown how to use these different creep curves to describe the stress—strain behaviour of frozen soils.     

基于颗粒离散元模型的不同加载速率下花岗岩数值试验研究

不同加载速率条件下岩石的力学特性,对于其动载下破裂内在机制的研究具有积极的意义。基于颗粒流理论,通过黏结颗粒模型（bonded particle model,简称BPM）虚拟实现不同加载速率0.001～0.500 m/s下花岗岩单轴压缩和巴西劈裂试验,定量分析加载速率对应力-应变、破裂形态、应变能率及声发射的影响。结果表明：单轴抗压强度和抗拉强度及其对应峰值应变随加载速率增加而非线性增长;单轴压缩作用下,随加载速率增加,试样由单一斜截面破坏向多斜截面破坏转变,且主控裂隙带宽度急剧增大,由裂纹数量及水平向高应变率区域变化规律可明显看出,试样破坏程度随着加载速率增加而逐渐加剧;巴西劈裂作用下试样从一条主控裂隙向多条主控裂隙转变,且裂纹向圆盘试样两侧边缘部分延伸,破坏程度加剧;单轴压缩和巴西劈裂作用下,声发射事件及应变能率均随加载速率增加而呈现出非线性增长趋势。     

不同应变率下砂岩动态强度准则的试验研究

分别利用RMT－150C和多功能分离式霍普金森压杆（SHPB）试验系统对砂岩进行了不同应变率下的单轴压缩、三轴压缩和拉伸试验。结果表明,在围压为0或围压一定的情况下,应变率低于102 s-1时,抗压强度的增加与应变率的量级呈正比;在应变率高于102 s-1时,岩石的抗压强度增加趋势与应变率的1/3次方呈正比。拉伸强度也存在类似规律。针对101～102 s-1应变率范围内缺少岩石动态强度准则这一现状,根据上述试验规律,结合Mohr-Coulomb准则、Hoek-Brown准则和Griffith准则的原理,给出了不同应变率范围内动态Mohr-Coulomb准则和动态Hoek-Brown准则的具体表达形式。研究结果表明,在低应变率情况下,动态Mohr-Coulomb准则和动态Hoek-Brown准则均适用,但Griffith准则判别结果误差很大。在高应变率情况下,动态Mohr-Coulomb准则比较适用,Griffith准则仅适用于评估高应变率单轴抗压强度和抗拉强度之间的关系。     

Viscoelastic damage model for asphalt concrete

The strain rate-dependent mechanical behavior of asphalt concrete was characterized using unconfined compression tests carried out at different loading rates. It was shown that at high strain rates, the elastic deformation and peak axial stress are highly sensitive to strain rate. Both increase as the strain rate increases. At very low strain rates, elastic response and unconfined compressive strength are relatively independent of the loading rate. Based on the experimental observations, a simple viscoelastic damage model is proposed for the strain rate-dependent unconfined compression behavior of asphalt concrete. In the model, strain rate response is modeled by a two-component viscoelastic model consisting of a constant elastic modulus and a viscous modulus that is related by a power-law function to the axial strain rate. Failure and strain softening are modeled via a damage formulation where damage evolution in the asphalt concrete is given by a simple form of the Weibull distribution function. The model was shown to be capable of describing the strain rate-dependent deformation, compressive strength, strain-softening and creep behavior of asphalt concrete. The model is relatively simple and requires only five material parameters.

Strain rate, temperature, and sample size effects on compression and tensile properties of frozen sand

Selection of material properties for use in design of frozen earth structures has been a limiting factor for some field applications. In particular, the mechanical properties governing the behavior of a frozen soil structure subjected to bending stresses are of interest. The effects of strain rate, temperature, and sample size on the compressive and tensile properties of frozen silica sand have been determined experimentally using uniaxial compression and split cylinder tests. Data included on the initial tangent modulus, compressive strength, failure strains, and tensile strength help delineate some limitations of available test procedures. Failure modes for various test conditions are described.

Data analysis shows that the initial yield stress, the compressive peak strength, and the initial tangent modulus increase with decreasing temperatures and increasing strain rates. Tensile strengths from split cylinder tests appear to be independent of deformation rates. Uniaxial compressive strengths decreased slightly and the initial tangent modulus increased with increasing sample diameter (constant length to diameter ratio). Deformation and failure modes changed from a plastic to a brittle behavior when strain rates were increased from low to high values. Larger failure strains at slower strain rates (more time available) appear to be a result of pressure melting, water migration and refreezing, permitting more particle readjustments before development of the peak strength. Observations on failure strains suggest limiting values for design situations.     

Creep and rate of loading effects on geogrid- reinforced sand

This paper presents the results of studies of creep and rate of loading effects on geogrid-reinforced dune sand. Model plate load tests were conducted on reinforced sand beds under displacement and load controls. Displacement controlled set of plate load tests were carried out in the range 1–0.001 mm/min. Load controlled set of plate load tests were carried out in which the staged pressure was held constant for 6000 min. Results indicate that rate of displacement (strain rate) is very significant for potential improvement of geogrid-reinforced sand. Both stiffness and bearing capacity of geogrid-reinforced sand increases logarithmically with rate of displacement. Geogrid reduces the creep of sand especially in the working pressure range. A simple stiffness degradation and creep relationships were obtained for geogrid-reinforced dune sand. The results of the tests are reported, and the significance of each control variable is assessed.     

Cavity expansion in unsaturated soils exhibiting hydraulic hysteresis considering three drainage conditions

Cavity expansion theory assists in the interpretation of in situ tests including the cone penetration test and pressuremeter test. In this paper, a cavity expansion analysis is presented for unsaturated silty sand exhibiting hydraulic hysteresis. The similarity technique is used in the analysis. The soil stress–strain behaviour is described by a bounding surface plasticity model. Results of oedometric compression tests, isotropic compression tests and triaxial shear tests for both saturated and unsaturated states are used to calibrate the model. The void ratio, suction, degree of saturation and effective stress are fully coupled in the analysis. The influence of where the initial hydraulic state is located on the soil–water characteristic curve on the cavity wall pressure is investigated and found to be significant. Also, the effects of three different drainage conditions (constant suction, constant moisture content and constant contribution of suction to the effective stress) on cavity wall pressure are studied. It is found that the drainage condition in which the contribution of suction to the effective stress is constant offers a good approximation to the other two. This may simplify interpretation of in situ tests. When testing occurs quickly, meaning a constant moisture content condition prevails, a constant contribution of suction condition can be assumed without loss of significant accuracy. The contribution of suction assumed in the interpretation can be taken as being equal to the in situ value, although this discovery may not be applicable to all soil types, constitutive models and soil–water characteristic curves.

A dimensional analysis of scaling viscosity and velocity in DEM of constant strain rate tests on asphalt

This paper presents the results from discrete element modelling (DEM) of an idealised (sand) asphalt mixture under constant strain rate (velocity) compressive loading using the Burgers viscoelastic model. Using dimensional analysis it is shown that the effect of scaling applied velocity is the same as that of scaling both viscosities in the Burgers model by the same factor. This has been shown to be the case for a bonded aggregate, and it also has been shown to be applicable even when bond breakage occurs within the sample. This scaling method will be of great benefit in modelling tests on asphalt under different constant strain rates, simply by scaling both viscosities to minimise computational time.
