法向刚度对土与结构接触面三维特性影响的试验研究

运用80 t大型三维接触面试验机,对不同法向刚度下粗粒土与结构接触面三维静动力学特性进行了试验研究,重点分析了法向刚度对接触面力学特性的影响规律。法向常刚度条件下,接触面在单调剪切时均先剪缩再剪胀、法向应力先减小后增大;循环剪切时接触面不可逆性剪切体变呈单调增长、可逆性剪切体变峰值逐渐减小后趋于稳定,切向应力峰值不断减小,抗剪强度逐渐减小,主应力比峰值则基本保持不变。法向刚度主要影响剪切体变、可逆性剪切体变、切向应力、主剪应力等接触面力学性能参数的大小;法向刚度越大,单调剪切时法向应力变化越大、切向应力峰值越大、剪缩和剪胀量越小;循环剪切时不可逆性剪切体变增长越慢、最终值越小,抗剪强度减小越快、达到0时对应的循环周次越少。法向刚度对剪切体变、可逆性剪切体变、主剪应力、主应力比等性能参数与切向位移的关系形式及接触面摩擦角基本没有影响。     

峰前循环剪切作用下岩石节理剪切力学特性

微震、工程爆破等低应力循环剪切荷载作用对节理岩体工程失稳破坏具有重要影响。为研究峰前循环剪切加卸载作用下岩石节理剪切力学特性,采用RDS-200型岩石节理剪切试验系统对人工劈裂黄砂岩节理进行了峰前循环剪切下的直剪试验。通过与未进行峰前循环剪切加卸载时岩石节理力学参数预测值对比,得到峰前循环剪切加卸载作用对峰前剪切刚度、峰值剪切强度、峰值剪切位移与残余剪切强度的影响。结果表明：（1）峰前循环剪切加卸载后,当法向应力为2 MPa时,岩石节理峰前剪切刚度增大,当法向应力为4～10 MPa时,岩石节理峰前剪切刚度在循环剪切应力幅值范围内增大,在超出循环剪切应力幅值时减小;（2）峰前循环剪切加卸载后,峰值剪切强度降低了10%～20%,降低百分比随法向应力增大整体呈对数函数增大;峰值剪切位移增加了2%～40%,增加百分比随法向应力增大整体呈对数函数减小;（3）峰前循环剪切加卸载后,岩石节理残余剪切强度无明显变化,峰值剪切强度与残余剪切强度差值减小,峰后剪切应力做功损失百分比降低。     

双向循环荷载作用下砾石−格栅界面动力剪切特性

在动荷载作用下,加筋土结构中筋土界面不仅会受到水平循环剪切作用,还会受到循环荷载的压缩作用。采用大型直剪仪对双向循环作用筋土界面动力剪切特性进行研究,探究不同循环法向荷载频率、水平循环剪切频率和法向荷载波形对界面剪切强度的影响。结果表明：当循环法向荷载频率和水平循环剪切频率一致时,峰值剪切应力和最大竖向位移随着频率的增加而增加,前后半周期剪切应力和位移曲线时间差均相同;反之,滞回圈应力−位移关系和竖向位移会由于双向循环荷载频率的不同呈现两种不同形态特性;正弦波法向荷载作用下剪切应力和竖向位移最大,而斜波和方波荷载作用下,滞回圈和竖向位移变化曲线较三角波和正弦波差别较明显;剪切刚度随着双向循环荷载频率的增大而增大,正弦波作用下界面剪切刚度最大,斜波作用下界面剪切刚度最小。     

Study of rock joints under cyclic loading conditions

Summary A conceptual model for the behaviour of rock joints during cyclic shear and under constant normal stresses was proposed according to results from shear tests with 50 concrete replicas of rock joints. The shear strength and deformability of joint samples were found to be both anisotropic and stress dependent. Based on these experimental results, a two-dimensional constitutive model was developed for rock joints undergoing monotonic or cyclic loading sequences. The joint model was formulated in the framework of non-associated plasticity, coupled with empirical relations representing the surface roughness degradation, appearance of peak and residual shear stresses, different rates of dilatancy and contraction, variable normal stiffness with normal deformation, and dependence of shear strength and deformability on the normal stress. The second law of thermodynamics was represented by an inequality and used to restrict the values of some of the material parameters in the joint model. The new joint model was implemented into a two-dimensional Distinct Element Method Code, UDEC, and its predictions agreed well with some well-known test results.     

筋-土界面循环剪切刚度和阻尼比的试验研究

为了研究筋-土界面在遭受动力作用时的表现,利用大型直剪仪对土工格栅、土工编织布、土工无纺布和砂土界面进行了一系列循环剪切试验,得到了不同工况下界面的剪切刚度和阻尼比,并探究了循环次数与剪切刚度和阻尼比之间的规律。研究结果表明,同一循环次数时格栅-土界面的循环剪切刚度最大,土工编织布-土界面的阻尼比最大;剪切位移幅值为3 mm时3种竖向应力下界面都呈现出循环剪切硬化的特征,随着循环次数的增加,各竖向应力下的界面阻尼比有趋于某一值的趋势;砂土密实度越大,同一循环次数对应的剪切刚度越大,阻尼比越小,且随着循环次数的增加3种砂土密实度的界面阻尼比有趋于同一值的趋势;循环剪切位移幅值为5 mm的界面发生循环剪切软化现象,剪切位移幅值越大,界面同一循环次数的阻尼比也越大。     

Effect of cyclic loading on the residual strength of over-consolidated silty clay in a ring shear test

In this paper, the effect of cyclic loading on drained residual strength of over-consolidated silty clay is examined based on the results from ring shear tests which were conducted with a sophisticated ring shear apparatus. Initially sheared to form shear zones under different pre-consolidation pressures and at different shear rates (SRs), soil samples were then tested under cyclic loading. After the cyclic loading application, the samples were re-sheared while the corresponding shear strengths were measured. The results show that the effect of cyclic loading on residual strength is noticeable. The effect is related to pre-consolidation history and SR of the soil samples. Under conditions of relatively low over-consolidation ratio (OCR), the soil samples show an increase in residual strength with decreasing SR after cyclic loading. Most of the peak strength values after cyclic loading are higher than the residual strength values obtained before cyclic loading. Two effects of cyclic loading on the residual strength are identified: (a) If OCR is less than or equal to 3.0, the residual strengths measured after cyclic loading are larger than those before cyclic loading; (b) If OCR is greater than or equal to 3.5, the residual strengths after cyclic loading tend to become lower than those in the shear tests before cyclic loading.     

Dynamic analysis of strain localization in water‐saturated clay using a cyclic elasto‐viscoplastic model

A computational framework is presented for dynamic strain localization and deformation analyses of water‐saturated clay by using a cyclic elasto‐viscoplastic constitutive model. In the model, the nonlinear kinematic hardening rule and softening due to the structural degradation of soil particles are considered. In order to appropriately simulate the large deformation phenomenon in strain localization analysis, the dynamic finite element formulation for a two‐phase mixture is derived in the updated Lagrangian framework. The shear band development is shown through the distributions of viscoplastic shear strain, the axial strain, the mean effective stress, and the pore water pressure in a normally consolidated clay specimen. From the local stress–strain relations, more brittleness is found inside the shear bands than outside of them. The effects of partially drained conditions and mesh‐size dependency on the shear banding are also investigated. The effect of a partially drained boundary is found to be insignificant on the dynamic shear band propagation because of the rapid rate of applied loading and low permeability of the clay. Using the finer mesh results in slightly narrower shear bands; nonetheless, the results manifest convergency through the mesh refinement in terms of the overall shape of shear banding and stress–strain relations.

法向应力对接触面循环单剪力学特性的影响研究

法向应力对土与结构接触面循环单剪力学特性的影响研究具有重要意义。运用80 t大型三维接触面试验机,进行了不同法向应力下粗粒土与结构接触面单剪试验,分析了法向应力对接触面循环单剪力学特性的影响规律。试验结果表明,法向应力对接触面变形位移、滑动位移、切向应力、可逆性剪切体变和不可逆性剪切体变以及抗剪强度等接触面性能参量的数值有显著影响,但对参量间关系形式影响较小。法向应力越大,接触面变形位移在初始几个循环内越大,随循环剪切的进行,其减小速率越快,最终稳定值越小;切向刚度越大,切向应力稳定值也越大,初始几个循环内切向刚度系数越小;不可逆性剪切体变越大,可逆性剪切体变峰值和稳定值越小,相变位移和相变应力比越小;抗剪强度越大,其异向程度则先增大后减小。不同法向应力下,接触面循环抗剪强度与法向应力符合摩尔-库仑准则;切向应力比-切向位移关系、不可逆性剪切体变和剪切功密度关系均具有良好一致性,基本不受法向应力影响,可用双曲线模型描述,这将大大简化接触面本构描述。     

循环剪切荷载作用下岩石节理变形特性试验研究

以水泥砂浆为相似材料,制备3种岩壁强度、5种起伏角度的锯齿型节理试样;利用试验设备,进行了在4种法向应力下的循环剪切试验。根据试验结果,结合循环剪切试验特点,定义剪胀角来表征节理循环剪切的法向变形特性,以及剪切刚度来表征节理循环剪切的切向变形特性。基于不同起伏角、不同强度等级和不同法向应力下的节理试样循环剪切试验结果,分析了循环剪切过程中剪胀角和剪切刚度的变化规律;并利用不同条件下的试验结果,对比分析初始起伏角度、法向应力、岩壁强度对节理循环剪切变形特性的影响规律。研究发现：剪胀角、剪切刚度均随着剪切循环次数的增加而呈现先快、后慢的降低趋势,并且中低起伏角度节理的剪胀角、剪切刚度的降低趋势随着初始起伏角度、法向应力的增加而加快,随着岩壁强度增加而变慢,高起伏角度节理的剪胀角、剪切刚度的降低趋势基本保持不变。     

利用循环强度分析张紧式吸力锚循环承载力的方法

按照在最佳系泊点受倾斜荷载作用的张紧式吸力锚的破坏机制,建议了利用软土不排水循环剪切强度计算软土中吸力锚循环承载力的极限平衡分析方法。该方法考虑了平均系泊荷载在土中引起的平均剪应力对土体循环剪切强度、进而对锚循环承载力的影响。为了说明该方法的可行性,进行了大量张紧式吸力锚在平均系泊荷载与循环荷载共同作用下的承载力模型试验。依据试验结果确定了锚被竖向拔出土层时系泊点的位移破坏标准,并据此确定了与不同模型试验条件对应的循环承载力。进而利用循环三轴试验确定的土层不排水循环强度随平均应力的变化关系和实测的土层剪切强度,通过极限平衡分析计算了与模型试验对应的循环承载力。计算与模型试验结果比较表明,对于张紧式吸力锚被竖向拔出土层的破坏模式,计算结果比模型试验结果偏大,平均偏大1.9%,绝大多数偏差在10%以内。因此,对于软土中的张紧式吸力锚,如果采用该方法计算与竖向拔出土层破坏模式相应的循环承载力时,将结果减小10%是恰当的。

Modeling cyclic shearing of sands in the semifluidized state

Liquefaction is associated with the loss of mean effective stress and increase of the pore water pressure in saturated granular materials due to their contractive tendency under cyclic shear loading. The loss of mean effective stress is linked to loss of grain contacts, bringing the granular material to a “semifluidized state” and leading to development and accumulation of large cyclic shear strains. Constitutive modeling of the cyclic stress-strain response in earthquake-induced liquefaction and post-liquefaction is complex and yet very important for stress-deformation and performance-based analysis of sand deposits. A new state internal variable named strain liquefaction factor is introduced that evolves at low mean effective stresses, and its constitutive role is to reduce the plastic shear stiffness and dilatancy while maintaining the same plastic volumetric strain rate in the semifluidized state. This new constitutive ingredient is added to an existing critical state compatible, bounding surface plasticity reference model, that is well established for constitutive modeling of cyclic response of sands in the pre-liquefaction state. The roles of the key components of the proposed formulation are examined in a series of sensitivity analyses. Their combined effects in improving the performance of the reference model are examined by simulating undrained cyclic simple shear tests on Ottawa sand, with focus on reproducing the increasing shear strain amplitude as well as its saturation in the post-liquefaction response.     

Effect of cyclic loading on monotonic shear strength of fine-grained soils

In this study the effect of cyclic loads on monotonic shear strength has been studied on torsional apparatus. Tests have been conducted on both reconstituted and undisturbed fine-grained hollow soil specimens. The plasticity index of soils is in the range from 2 to 33 for reconstituted specimens, prepared by dry pluviation, and from 5 to 13 for undisturbed soil specimens. The existence of a critical shear strain level, called yield shear strain, where softening starts, is determined from cyclic tests. The level of cyclic yield strain is ± 0.75% for the reconstituted soil specimens and ± 0.5% for the undisturbed soils. If soil undergoes a cyclic shear strain level below the cyclic yield strain, reduction of monotonic strength of reconstituted and undisturbed specimens is limited, but when cyclic shear strain level is larger than yield strain monotonic strength decreases down to 40% of its initial strength.
