动态土工真三轴仪在砂土液化研究中的应用

为了模拟实际场地中土体变形和强度特性,研究开发了揭示侧限条件下饱和砂土震动液化机理的试验方法。文中采用了动态真三轴试验系统,该设备采用刚性板加柔性面的混合边界加载装置,并应用先进的CATS试验控制系统。试验结果表明应用动态土工真三轴仪进行砂土液化实验是可行的,并初步分析了侧限条件下的液化机理,即土体将在轴向压力、侧压和孔隙水压力相等的条件下发生液化,表明振动荷载过程中的应力重分布对砂土液化强度和孔隙水压力发展等具有显著的影响。

Application of dynamic true triaxial apparatus to study on sand liquefaction

A test method is developed to simulate the deformation and strength characteristics of soils in real sites. This test method reveals the mechanism of seismic liquefaction of saturated sand under confined condition. A dynamic true triaxial test system is applied. This device provides mixed boundary conditions for samples and installation of advanced CATS test control system. The test results show that use of the dynamic true triaxial apparatus for sand liquefaction test research is feasible. Moreover, the mechanism of soil liquefaction under confined condition is investigated. Namely, the liquefaction will be generated when the axial and lateral pressures as well as the pore water pressure are equal to each other. It indicates that in the process of vibration load, the stress redistribution has a significant influence on the strength of sand liquefaction and the development mode of pore water pressure.
