Show Abstract

Considering the effect of in-situ stress on the physical and geometrical attenuation of cylindrical stress wave propagationand the interaction between cylindrical stress wave and a jointthe propagation equation of cylindrical wave in jointed rock mass under in-situ stress is derived. Meanwhilea model test was carried out to study the propagation and attenuation law of cylindrical stress wave in the intact and jointed rock mass under different in-situ stressesthe measured and theoretical results are compared and analyzed. The results show the physical attenuation of cylindrical wave in the intact rock decreased firstly then increased with the increase of confining pressurewhen the lateral pressure coefficient changesthe variation of the physical attenuation is related to the magnitude of the differential stress. The transmission coefficient of cylindrical wave in jointed rock mass is related to the angle of joints and the attenuation in joints and rockthe transmission coefficient decreased with the increase of the joint angle without confining pressureand the variation law of transmission coefficient is contrary under confining pressure. The transmission coefficient increased firstly then decreased with the increase of confining pressure and the lateral pressure coefficient. The theoretical and measured transmission coefficients under different confining pressures are relatively closethe validity of derived propagation equation is verified.

Show Abstract
Earthquake is one of the main causes of tailings dam accident. It is very important to evaluate the seismic behavior of tailings dam in order to prevent earthquake damage of tailings dam. The seismic performance of the tailings dam includes three aspects:liquefaction possibility,dynamic stability and permanent deformation. Based on the finite element time-history analysis method,the dynamic response and seismic behavior of the Dashahe tailings dam in Yunnan Province,which is need to be heightened and expanded,were calculated and analyzed on the conditions of current state,heightening directly and heightening with additional drainage facilities. The results show that the phreatic line has an important influence on the seismic behavior of the tailings dam. When the tailings dam is directly heightened,the phreatic line is obviously uplifted,resulting in that some tailings of the downstream slope are liquefied,a large permanent deformation occurs and the safety factor is reduced to below the standard value. Additional seepage facilities can increase the depth of the phreatic line effectively and improve the seismic behavior of the dam significantly,so as to meet the corresponding seismic fortification requirements. The acceleration amplification factor of tailings dam under earthquake is relatively small and not monotonous with the dam height,which is different with earth-rock dam. The permanent deformation of the tailings dam was calculated by using the sliding displacement analysis method,the equivalent nodal force method and the simplified elastoplastic analysis method respectively. The results of the three methods have obvious differences in their specific values and forms of expression. But a tendency was showed by all three methods that the permanent deformation increased with the dam heightening and decreased with the phreatic line dropping.

Show Abstract

Based on the problem of support load determination of mining under ultra-close goaf in shallow multiple seamstaking condition of ultra-close seams mining in Shenfu mining area as the backgroundthe collapsed roof structure of the secondary mining in goaf is revealed by using physical simulation experiment and theoretical analysis. The roof structure model of ultra-close seams mining is set upand the support load calculation formula is put forward. The study shows that the roof structure has free-caving zone and slanting pillar-beam zone in the upper seam goaf. In the mining process of lower seamroof structure movement under slanting pillar-beam zone is divided into hinged separation section and sedimentation compaction section. Through the establishment of the two stages of roof structure modelthe support load calculation formulas to determine the support resistance are set upand it is determined that the formula of sedimentation compaction section should be the basis of support selection. It is verified reliable through case analysis of shallow buried ultra-close multiple seams mining in Shigetai coal mine.

Show Abstract

A clamping effectends effect namelyon cylindrical specimens compressed axiallyis induced from the rigidity loading heads to enhance rock strength. Specimens with various lengths of dolomite and granite were compressed under low confining pressures by Mogi Kends effect on strength may be neglected with increase of confining pressure. Howevertest results of sandstonetrachytemarbledolomiteand various granites from public literatures show that the ends effect will enhance specimen strength at high confining pressureeven after the area correction to the barrel specimen. Mechanical properties are greatly different of crystals in granitei.e. quartzfeldspar and mica. Extreme scatter of granite strengths from small specimens under high confining pressure results from the ends friction transferring by crystals in the specimen. Both ends effect and size effect are discussed on strengths of granites specimens under various confining pressures. The applicability of the exponential strength criterion is evaluated to predict the genuine fracture strength of granites under high confining pressure.

Show Abstract

The fracture toughness(KIC) of five typical granites taken from the Beishan candidate area for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste was investigated through three-point bending testwith the purpose to study the influence of saturation process and grain size on KIC of granite. By comparing the curves of dry and saturated granite under cyclic loading and unloading conditionit is indicated that the saturation process can result in a significant degradation of initial cracking strength and fracture toughnessand accelerate the crack propagation speed in post-peak phase. Experimental data show that KIC of dry and saturated samples are 1 5762 139 N/cm1.5 and 1 4631 848 N/cm1.5respectivelyand mean values of KIC of saturated granite are about 90% of dry ones in the same group. Meanwhileit is noticed that KIC of Beishan granite decreases remarkably with the increase of average particle sizerock mineral composition and particle forms also have certain influence on the variation of KIC. At lastthe fracture propagation process were analyzed with the recorded AE events.

Show Abstract

When implementing a highly nonlinear stress-strain model to solve boundary-valued problemsone of the major challenges is how to reduce the accumulative error and to maintain the effectiveness of the numerical integration. In generalthe explicit algorithm tends to have higher accumulative errorand the requirement for accuracy may not be satisfied even when adopting very small increment sizes. When utilizing the Newton-CPPM implicit numerical integration algorithmthe complex Jacobian matrix for a highly nonlinear model may result in non-convergence or even become singular in the modelling process. In order to deal with these challengesthis paper proposes an improved-implicit algorithmin which a semi-implicit method is used to determine the initial values for the implicit iterations. Using the highly nonlinear SANICLAY model for structured clay as an examplethe convergencethe computational efficiency and the accuracy of four algorithmsnamely the explicit algorithmthe semi-implicit algorithmthe implicit algorithm and the improved implicit algorithmare compared via numerical simulations of single element tests. Comparing with the explicit algorithmthe semi-implicit algorithm effectively reduces error accumulation and improves the computation accuracy. The improved implicit algorithm can effectively improve convergence and avoid singularity of Jacobian matrix.

Show Abstract

Analysis of failure modes of surrounding rock mass is the basic work of the stability analysis and control of surrounding rock mass and support design in underground engineering. The high geostress failure problems encountered in deep engineering cannot be included in the tradition failure mode classification. In the classification methods put forward recentlythe rock mechanics problems were considered well. But the geological conditions have been overlooked in analysis. Aiming to this problemthe evaluations of geological condition and in situ stress levels were constructed firstly. Then several important factors including rock mass structure typeintegrity degreehardness gradingrock mass quality gradeand in situ stresseswere considered. The classification system of failure modes of surrounding rock mass was presented finally. This system can be applied in all of underground projects. And it is more suitable for the deep underground engineering with high stress. The application of geological condition evaluation makes it simpler to be understood and applied by the field engineers.

Show Abstract
The effect of temperature gradient on water evaporation in rock is very important for controlling the development of rock relic disease in arid and semi-arid areas. To solve this problem,the evaporation law of surrounding rock in Mogao Grottoes was studied based on the lab experiments under the condition of diurnal temperature difference. It is abstracted as the evaporation model of an ideal capillary system controlled by humidity under the action of temperature gradient. The theoretical analysis is carried out by using Kelvin's formula,and the experimental results are verified. The results show that the more drier the area,the more influence of temperature on the instantaneous evaporation intensity should be considered;To control the instantaneous evaporation intensity of surrounding rock of Mogao Grottoes,it is necessary to strictly control the fluctuation range of environmental temperature difference,so it is located in the range of 0 ℃–3 ℃,otherwise,the effect is minimal. The results can provide guidance for temperature environment control and some basis for the selection of preventive protection measures for Mogao Grottoes murals.

Show Abstract

This paper studies on the triggering mechanism of sliding type rockbursts under weak disturbance. With variation method and by adopting the theoretical model in which a block slides along the interfaceinduced by weak disturbance under initial stress state. The basic conditions required for sliding type rockbursts were obtained as(1) The surfaces(referred to the contact surfaces or the fracture surfaces) are in the quasi-steady state with the high initial stress in the tangential direction. (2) The fracture stiffness of the surfaces is larger than the rebound stiffness of the surrounding rock. (3) The impact energy factor which characterizes the movement of the rock mass reaches a critical valueor the relative displacement on the surfaces accumulated to a critical value under the dynamic disturbance. When rockburst occursthe released energy is far more larger than the energy exerted by the disturbancethe weak disturbance just act as atriggerin the occurrence of rockburstits effect is only to help the rock blocks to overcome the influence of friction on the surfaces. The magnitude of the critical accumulated displacement and the extruding speed of the rock blocks may not depend on the value of the disturbance. The movement(or the extruding speed) of the rock blocks is determined by the relations between the work of the rock pressure and the work of the friction along the surfaces. To prediction the level of sliding type rockburst accuratelythe kinetic energy of all the rock blocks at the very time when rockburst occurs should be known.

Show Abstract

For better understanding time-dependent evolutionary behavior of anchored bedding slope in corrosion environmenta prestressed anchored slope model test systems which can simulate complex corrosive environment was developed. Using the test systemsan anchor bedding slope geomechanical model test was carried outin which the corrosion of the free section of anchoring is simulated. Based on test resultsthe electrochemical corrosion process of pre-stressed anchor baranchorage loss laws and long-term deformation characteristics of anchored slope were analyzed. It was found that(1) The anchor bar enter activation corrosion state rapidly as contacting with the etching solution. The corrosion rate of anchor bar is high in initial stagewith the increase of immersion timethe corrosion rate decreases graduallyand the corrosion rate stabilized after about 3060 days. (2) ClO2 in the environment and pre-stress will significantly increase the corrosion rate of anchor bar. (3) Corrosive effects did not significantly accelerate loss of prestress when both ends are anchored welland prestress losses of anchorage are mainly influenced by the initial anchoring force and rock deformation after corrosion of free section. (4) Deformation of different parts of anchored slope is mainly related to rock mass structuregravity stress and anchor forceand reinforcement corrosion in free section does not directly affect the slope deformation. Anchoring force drastically reducing caused by corrosion of anchoring section or the failure of anchor bar caused by corrosion could significantly affect the deformation and stability of the slope. Test results can provide scientific basis for long-term safety assessment of anchored bedding slope.

Show Abstract

The attenuation characteristics of elastic wave propagation in granitemarblered sandstone and limestone were studied by a PCI2 system though the broken lead test. The results showed thatthe amplitude and frequency of the elastic wave signals on the four kinds of rocks are decreasing with the increased source distance. On granite and red sandstonethe attenuation of amplitude and centroid frequency are obviously characterized by stagesthe attenuation coefficient is larger in rapid attenuation stage and smaller in slower attenuation stagecorrespondinglythe peak frequency is higher in rapid attenuation stageand dramatically reduced in slower attenuation stage. Howeverthe attenuation of amplitude and centroid frequency on marble and limestone is relatively moderateand the peak frequency maintains at 120 kHz. By analyzing the microstructure of four kinds of rocks and their attenuation characteristicsit is found that the most important factor causing the attenuation of the elastic wave is the tightness of the mineral particles in rockand secondly the development degree of internal structure is another factor influencing attenuation. Furthermorethe quality factor Q of different rock is highly related with its wave impedancethe lower wave impedance rock has smaller Q valuecorresponds to higher wave attenuation.

Show Abstract

Due to pre-existing micro-cracks induced by the long-term tectonic loadingrock exhibits strong anisotropy. Using a split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB) system with International Society of Rock Mechanics (ISRM) suggested method for dynamic fracture test and the notched semi-circular bend(NSCB) specimenthe anisotropy of dynamic fracture energy of Barre granite and Standstead granite are investigated. The P-wave velocities of two rocks are measured to determine the three principal directions. The notches of the NSCB specimen are made along these three principal directions. Thus for each rockthree groups of NSCB specimens are fabricated. The pulse shaping technique was used to achieve dynamic force balance and a laser gap gauge was utilized to measure the crack surface opening distance(CSOD). Using these methodsthe fracture energy for the specimen is determined using energy analysis. For samples in the same orientation groupthe dynamic fracture energy of two rocks shows clear loading rate dependencei.e. the fracture energy increases with the loading rate. The dynamic fracture energy is anisotropic for SG and BG. At the similar loading ratethe dynamic fracture energy for SG and BG along X direction is minimum and the fracture energy along Z direction is maximum. In additionthe fracture energy anisotropy of SG and BG increases with the loading rate. This is attributed to the increase of damage zone around the fracture path under higher loading rates.

Show Abstract

The Hoek-Brown failure criterion has been widely used for the determination of the strength of intact rock and rock mass in isotropic conditionsbut cannot describe the anisotropic characteristics of rock and rock mass. In this paperan anisotropic failure criterion is proposed based on the Hoek-Brown failure criterion by introducing an anisotropic parameterwhich is associated with microstructure tensor aij and loading directions lijto the parameters mb and sand the sensitivity of parameters used in the anisotropic failure criterion are discussedand the strength of rocks obtained by the proposed criterion are compared with test results. It is shown that the proposed anisotropic failure criterion can describe the variation of material strength in function of the orientation of the sample relative to the loading directionand this criterion can be degenerated to the isotropic Hoek-Brown failure criterion. The principle value Ωi of the deviatoric part of microstructure tensor has a significant effect on anisotropic characteristic of rock massand determines the degree of anisotropy. The mean value of microstructure affects the strength of rock massand the elasto-plastic parameterhas little effect on anisotropic characteristics of rock mass.

Loading rate dependency is basic content of rheological mechanics of rock material. Brazilian split tests on Jingkou SandstoneEmochi andesite and Tage tuff were performed under the condition of alternating loading rate. The Brazilian splitting failure process and the loading rate dependency characters about stress-strain curve of pre-and post-peak were analyzed and the following conclusions were found(1) In the case of alternating load ratethe Brazil splitting crack first starts from the center of the specimen and gradually extends to the two ends of the split faceand the failure process can be divided into four stages. (2) The stress-strain curve of Brazil splitting testwhich is obtained by the high and low alternating load rate testcan clearly observe the characteristic of the load rate dependence of rock at pre-and post-peak stage. (3) The splitting strength of rock in Brazil increased with the increase of loading rateand showed a significant dependence on the load rate. By calculating the loading rate dependence coefficient n valuequantitative analysis about loading rate dependence of the three rocks was performed.

Show Abstract
Clay is the important factors influencing the permeability of sandstone. Studying the permeability of different clay content in sandstone is of great significance to the safety and effectiveness of the engineering. Due to the complexity and lithologic differences of natural rock composition,the effect that proportioning of clay may have on gas permeation flow behavior in loose manufactured clayey sandstones was studied during the applying and relieving of confining pressure. Make some artificial rock samples with different clay-quartz sand proportions. The artificial aggregate was quartz sand of a size between 70–140(sieve opening,the number of sieve meshes per inch) and the clay was montmorillonite and illite. A gas permeation flow test including an application and a relieving stage of confining pressure was conducted on a TOP testing machine using the same stress path. The test permeation gas was nitrogen. The permeation pressure was 1 MPa,the axial pressure 1 MPa;and the applying and relieving path of the confining pressure was 4,6,8,10,12,15,12,10,8,6,and 4 MPa. The regular of gas permeability variation as a function of confining pressure and the mechanical property in artificial rock samples,made of different clay contents,was found. Combining with the Darcy¢s law and Poiseuille penetration model,the permeability-confining pressure model that based on artificial stone with different clay content was built. The findings suggest that in term of article sample rocks both clay content or porosity and initial permeability satisfy Boltzmann function. The stress-strain relationship can be regarded as linear model when the clay content is low. And can be regarded as nonlinear model when clay content is high. The permeability-confining pressure relation changes from a power law relation to a negative exponential one as clay content increases. Compaction of confining pressure can make the stress-strain relationship change to the linear model. Characterized by permeability-confining pressure changes from the negative exponent relationship to power law relationship,higher the clay content in the sample,reduces the strength of the internal structure. Transfixion cracks are easier to produce under stress and increase permeability.

Shale and limestone in situ are processed indoors into 6 different combinations of bedded composite rockthrough which the author explores the damage and fracture process under uniaxial compression as well as its acoustic emission characteristics. Acoustic emission system is adopted to collect the acoustic emission signal released by the test specimen during the experiment. CT scanning is performed on the composite rock before and after the experiment. The development of the internal cracks before and after the fracture is analyzedand the fractal theory is adopted to analyze the damage of fracturing specimen through its CT images of different parts. The results show that(1) The damage of bedded composite rock is a coupling failure process of shale component material and limestone component material under load. In the process of damaginglimestone has a restriction on shale transverse deformationwhile shale has a promoting effect on limestone. The strength of shale component material is greater than that of single shalewhich also goes for limestone component material. (2) According to the different combinationsthe failure mode of bedded composite rock can be divided into 3 kindstension splitting failureshear slip-type failure and splitting shear compound damage. Combinations of rock play a decisive role in its stress and affect the failure mode. (3) The average number of CT-scanning composite rock and the box dimension of its fracture section is able to respectively reflect the damage of the rockthat is to saythe greater the CT number difference before and after the damage of the section isthe greater the box dimension of the section isand the more serious the damage is.

Show Abstract

Landslide induced by earthquake is a common geological disaster in mountain area of China. In order to understand deeply failure process and dynamic response of slope under earthquake loadin this paper the shaking table model test on failure mode of shatter-burst sliding slope is conducted. Physical process of slope¢s failure and seismic response of slope under earthquake load is analyzed in detail. Similarity model is designed and model tests for different parameters are done. Experimental results show that the loading wave has important influence on the variation of acceleration amplification factor along slope elevation under earthquake load. Under the same conditionacceleration amplification factor at slope is the largest under Wolong wave loadand that is the smallest under Sine wave load. The magnitude of acceleration amplification factor at slope under EL Centro wave is between Wolong wave and Sine wave. The relation between acceleration amplification factor and peak value of loading wave¢s acceleration is obviously influenced by loading wave and location of soil at slope. When the frequency of loading wave is smaller(e.g. less than 6 Hz)acceleration amplification effect for all the location at slope is weak. When the frequency of loading wave is higher(e.g. more than 10 Hz)acceleration amplification effect near the bottom of slope is weak and that is significant at middle-upper part of slope.

Show Abstract

In order to study how the compression-shear fracture and fragmentation characteristics of rock mass of slope is influenced by counter-inclined flawmodel specimens containing counter-inclined flaw were prepared and compression-shear tests were conducted. The numerical model of fracture mechanics was established to calculate the stress intensity factor of flaw tip. Sieve tests were carried out for the fragments of these specimens after compression-shear tests. The fractal theory was introduced to quantify the compression-shear fragmentation characteristics and its correlation with fracture characteristics was investigated. With the increase of the absolute value of flaw inclinationthe shear strength of specimens increases first and then decreaseswhich breaches the trends of the stress intensity factor of flaw tip and the fractal dimension of fragmentation. The failure generated in the specimen can be classified into three modesnamely mode I(sliding along the flaw)mode II(interlocking) and mode III(cutting through the flaw). The specimen failing in mode Ihas a largest stress intensity factor of the flaw tipresulting in a lowest stress strength. The specimen failing in mode IIhas a lowest stress intensity factor of the flaw tipresulting in a largest stress strength. The specimen failing in mode IIIhas an intermediate stress intensity factor of the flaw tipresulting in a stress strength between those in modes I and II. The fragment size distribution of fragments under the compression-shear tests exhibits significant fractal property. The fractal dimensions of these fragmentations are in the range of 2.06 to 2.59which is similar to those in the fault cores There exists negative correlation between the shear strength of specimen and the fractal dimension of fragmentation. The compression-shear fragmentation characteristics of rock mass are closely related to the flaw geometrystress condition and fracture characteristics.

The installation of the buffer layers is of advantages to the seismic resistance of the tunnel. A set of flexible airbag loading system suitable for dynamic model test on shaking tables was developed to simulate the gravity stress of tunnel overburden. Dynamic response mechanism of loosen zone and buffer layers were analysed and compared based on tests data of accelerationadditional strainadditional bending moment and structure failure. It could be concluded that(1) Both the loosen zone and buffer layers did not change the dynamic response rule and the damage mode of tunnel structures(2) Due to the existence of loosen zonethe restraint effect of the surrounding rock on the tunnel structure is weakenedresulting in the increase of the deformation in tunnel structure. The additional bending moment of the structure increasesindicating that it is more vulnerable to damage in earthquakes considering loosen zones(3) The installation of the buffer layers can effectively reduce the structure additional strain caused by seismic loadwhich improved the mechanical performance of the structure. This layer coordinated the overall deformation of the tunnel and improved the seismic performance of the structure(4) In such problemsthat tunnel structure surrounded by a softer medium layerstiffness is the key factors which could be concluded in material thickness and strength.

Show Abstract

Joints and weak layers are the key factors for possible rock mass failure or slidingwithin which the heterogeneous infilled materials in joints strongly influence the shear mechanical behavior of rock mass and then its shear failure. Considering the effect of crack in infilled materials on the fracture characteristic of pre-existing jointed rock mass under compression-shear stress statemortar infilled jointed rock mass specimens including various artificial lengths were preparedand uniaxial compressive tests were carried out to investigate their compression-shear fracture mechanisms and the effect of pre-cracks sizes on fracture modes and fracture energy of jointed rock mass. The experimental results show that(1) under uniaxial compressionthe failure process of infilled jointed rock mass can be divided into two stagesfracture stage and friction stage. The former was the process of initiationpropagation and coalescence of cracks. The load bearing capacity was rapidly reduced after the peak loadand then gradually increased due to the increasing friction force. Finallyit failed when the shear stress reached its shear strength. (2) With the increasing pre-existing crack length in infilled jointed rock massthe peak load of specimens was decreased linearlywhile the fracture process was more brittle. (3) For the infilled jointed specimens without pre-crackmultiple micro-cracks were generated throughout the infilled joint during the fracture. Howeverfor the pre-cracked specimensthey cracked from the tips and propagated to the adhesive surface of infilled mortar and joint. The stress-induced cracks concentrated with relatively low density in the infilled joint. (4) The volume of ligament in joint Vjc was used to modify the formula of fracture energy Gf-V. Based on the fracture mechanism of the infilled jointthe front boundary effect modelwhose local fracture energy gf-V was bilinear distribution along the ligamentwas proposed. It explained the reason why the average fracture energy Gf-V decreased with the increasing of pre-crack lengthand then it was well verified by the experimental data.

Show Abstract

In order to study the adverse effect of subway tunnel drilling and blasting method on adjacent buried pipelinethe laboratory similar model test taking into account the influence factors such as the charge and the explosion center distancewas carried out based on the project of Dalian metro tunnel. The results show that the vibration characteristics of rock mass and pipeline under the same blasting load are different. The maximum vibration velocity of pipeline is smaller than rock massand the attenuation time is slightly different. The ratio of the maximum vibration velocity of pipeline to that of rock mass increases nonlinearly with the charge increasing and the distance decreasing. In order to describe this lawthe maximum velocity transfer coefficient and the relative stiffness coefficient of pipe-soil were definedand the formula of the maximum velocity transfer coefficient for various pipelines and rock mass was established. The relationship between maximum dynamic stress and maximum vibration velocity is linearly increased. Based on this conclusionthe pipeline safety control standard considering the design value of fatigue strength and the current velocity control value of pipeline was proposed. The safety control standard of C30 concrete pipeline is determined to be 2.5 cm/s by the method.

The construction process of underground engineering like tunneling would face with the risks of complex geological disasters such as water inrush and mud outburst constantlyand transient electromagnetic method which is based on the difference of resistivity between surrounding rocks and water-bearing bodies could detect and position the water-bearing structure ahead of tunnel face. Howeverthe data quality at middle-later period is relatively poor during the practical detection process. In this paperthe uniform half-space model and the three-layer classical model are studied to investigate the applicability of transient electromagnetism to detect apparent resistivity. The results show that the late-stage data conversion is good without interference and the late-stage data conversion is worse under strong interference difference. Compared with 3 filtering de-noising algorithms aiming to optimize the data quality at middle-later periodwe are certain that they can improve the signal-to-noise ratio and apparent resistivity imaging of TEM induced electromotive force under strong interference circumstances. Using the filtering algorithm compared with the traditional direct truncation method after field testingit is found the amendments to the unstable data which occurred in the late response period partial time-channels can improve the overall apparent resistivity imaging and the resolution of the detection results by the truncation method and filtering algorithms.

Abandoned mine pits around city are gradually used for the construction of large public service projects with the basis locating on slopeswhich is causing new problem. A large-scale shaking table test was carried out to study the dynamic characteristics and response of pit slopesingle and multi-span frame structuresand interaction between slope and structures. The results show thatwith the increase of vibration time and amplitudethe self-vibration frequency of slope model tends to decreaseswhile the damping ratio tends to increase. The structure models are in elastic stage during the vibration processand its self-vibration frequency decreases slightlywhile the damping ratio increases slightly. Slope dynamic response increases with slope position rising. Due to slope material nonlinear characteristicsslope dynamic amplification effect decreases with the increase of vibration amplitude. Moreovermodel dynamic response is associated with the type and direction of wave excitation. Low-frequency waves have greater influence on slope than high-frequency wavesand dynamic response in excitation direction is stronger than that in other directions. Dynamic response of structures increases with base location rising. Due to the influence of coupling beamdynamic response of middle part of multi-span structure is stronger than that of other parts. Dynamic response of the structure topwhich is coupled by foundation and upper structureis always larger than the bottom plate. Dynamic response of bottom plate is always greater than around ground due to dynamic reaction of superstructure. In additionthere is notable interaction between slope and structure. Multi-span structures with good stability and high stiffness can improve seismic performance of surrounding groundand ground dynamic response decreases 10.4%24.3%. In contrastsingle-span structures with poor stability and low stiffness probably reduce seismic performance of surrounding groundand ground dynamic response increases 12.3%51.1%. The research results can provide guidance for geotechnical engineering design of development and utilization of existing pit underground space.

Show Abstract

A series of fresh and dried rock samples from Daqiang coal mine were conducted by intelligent testing system for water absorption in deep soft rocks(a self-developed experimental system)including tests of water absorption with pressure and without pressure. Thenuniaxial compressive strength tests were applied to obtain the characteristics of the strength weakening processes of the rocks after interacting with water in two different original states. The results demonstrated that the strength of deep soft rock after absorbing water decreased linearly with the increasing of water ratio. Comparing to the speed of the strength decline of rock specimens with and without water pressureit could be found that the former was slower. The speed of the strength declining of dried rock samples was faster than that of fresh rock samples in the process of water absorbing. To better understand the mechanism for weakening of soft rocks in deep mines when absorbing a certain volumes of watervariances of chemical compositions of aqueous and microstructures of the rock samples were analyzed before and after water absorption testsand the analysis demonstrated thatwhen interacting on waterclay minerals of the soft rock generally showed a series of interfacial phenomenonand it caused the solution of soluble minerals and ionic exchange in the rockand then it led to the dissolution and secondary of minerals. It can be concluded that the dissolution and secondary of minerals contribute to the variances of the concentration of ions and the strength softening of the rock specimens after absorbing water.

The traditional rock mass classification method focuses on the stability of surrounding rock. For TBM tunnelthe machine performance should also be considered in construction. It is necessary to establish a new method of surrounding rock classification for TBM tunnel. Based on the field data of Hanjiang to Weihe River Valley Diversion Projectthe correlation among field penetration index(FPI)geological parameters and tunneling parameters is analyzed. Then the boreability classification of rock mass is established. The main geological factors affecting the machine utilization were analyzed and the adaptability classification of TBM is also established. In order to reflect the TBM performancethe rock mass is finally classified by evaluating the advance ratewhich is affected by the boreability of surrounding rock and the adaptability of TBM at the same time.

According to the nonlinear characteristic of displacement-time curve of landslide and deficiency of traditional prediction modelsthe combination model based on surface monitoring data and nonlinear time series analysis was proposed to predict landslide displacement. Taking Xintan landslide and Sanzhouxi landslide for exampledeformation characteristics and influence factors were researched by analyzing information of displacementrainfall and reservoir water level and so on. On the basis of testing trend and periodic characteristics of landslide displacement by using athwart order method and wavelet analysisnonlinear combination model was used to predict it. Trend item displacement was fitted and predicted by polynomial function. Using a trigonometric function based on wavelet analysis(WA-TF model) to predict periodic item displacement. BP neural network whose parameters were optimized by genetic algorithm was used to predict random item displacement. The accumulative displacement was obtained by adding up all items displacement and it was compared and analyzed with the monitoring values. The results indicate that nonlinear combination model has high accuracy and good versatility. This provides a possible thinking for quantitative prediction of landslide displacement.

Show Abstract

Based on the fault crossing situation of Xianglu mountain tunnel of water diversion project in central Yunnan provincethe axial mechanical response of the lining was calculated by FEM. It was found that the influence of the fault movement on the lining is concentrated on 30 m in each side of the fault plane. The segment length and the width of the flexible joints of the articulated design were determined tentatively based on the distribution of the bending moment along the axial direction. The orthogonal test was conducted to investigate the influencing degree of the main factors and their different levels on the internal force of lining. Finallythe optimal combination for articulated design was obtained by range analysis. The results showed that the articulated design is an effective measure to accommodate the displacement of fault dislocation by the deformation. Moreoverthe internal force of lining can be significantly reduced. The maximum reduction of bending momentshear force and axial force are over 80%. Aiming at flexible materialthe advantages and disadvantages of fiber-plastic concrete and high-performance foam concrete in strength and permeability were compared. It was concluded that the fiber-plastic concrete with a certain elastic modulusgood impermeability and higher tensile strength can be used as a flexible material for articulated design. The general regularity of this paper can provide some reference for the design of tunneling across fault zone.

In the gas drainage of coal minesit is difficult to seal boreholes and determine the sealing length of upward long crossing boreholes under biaxial unequal stress fields. To solve the problemNo.6 mine of Pingdingshan coal group was taken as the engineering example. On the basis of elastic-plastic theories and Mohr-Coulomb criterionthe boundary equations of plastic zones in the surrounding rocks of the circular roadway under unequal stress fields were deduced. The theoretical analysis results were then verified by numerical simulation(FLAC3D). It was concluded that the boundary shape of plastic zones in surrounding rocks was not circular but symmetrical butterfly-shaped form under equal stress fieldswhen the lateral pressure coefficient was not equal to 1. The stress of surrounding rocks was distributed unevenly and its gradient changed significantly. Moreoverthe obvious difference was observed on the scope of stress-relaxed areas of surrounding rocks with different angles. The deviation of plastic-zone depth calculated by theory and numerical simulation was lower than 5%. The reasonable sealing length of boreholes was determined finally considering the change laws of plastic zones. In additiona new sealing technology was proposed aiming at sealing upward boreholes. The field test results show that the negative pressure of gas drainage in boreholes is more than 13 kPaand the maximum concentration of gas drainage is 1.4 times that of testing boreholes under equal stress fields. Furthermorethe concentration of gas drainage decays slowly. The test effect can meet the need of long-term and high-efficient gas drainage.

Based on the reality of frequent collapse accidents in subway construction in Chinaa method of collapse risk prediction based on numerical simulationartificial neural networks and Monte Carlo method is put forward. The risk of collapse accident is predicted under the condition of pipeline leakage and damage. On the basis of investigation of accident statisticsthe main reason that resulted in collapse accidents is leakage of pipelines. Through the method of finite difference fluid-solid coupling numerical simulationthe maximum ground settlement values of the three different pipeline locationsnamelyjust above the tunnelabove the tunnel 5m on the right and above the tunnel 10m on the rightare calculated. When pipelines are not damaged and leakingthe maximum ground settlement is located at the surface just above the tunnel and the values are 0.012 850.016 05 and 0.018 53 mrespectively. When pipelines are damaged and leakingthe maximum ground settlement located at the surface just above the tunnel and above the tunnel about 2 m on the right. The maximum ground settlement values are 0.028 750.027 17 and 0.021 8 mrespectively. The numerical simulation results are used as the training and test samples of neural networkand the non-linear mapping relationship between the basic parameters and the ground settlement is established by RBF neural networkwhich is used to replace the performance function of Monte-Carlo method. According to Monte-Carlo methodthe probability of collapse risk of the three locations under the condition of damaged and leaking pipelines is calculated when the tunnel is excavated. The probabilities are 36.75%25.08% and close to 0. This research can provide reference for similar risk control of subway tunnel construction.

In order to research the relations between rock energy dissipation and the dilation evolution during process of failurean incremental loading for one cyclic loading mode is designed and put into practice. Granite gneiss rock are taken as research objects sampled from Southern Sinkiang regionand variable cyclic loading triaxial tests are carried out under confining pressure from 0 to 50 MPa all over the whole process stress-strain curve. From viewpoint of energy dissipationthe damage variable is definedand its relationships with the energy dissipation parameters and principal strain(residual strain and residual shear strain) are deeply analyzed during cyclic loads. Moreoverthe confining pressure effect on the energy parameters and variables are studied as well. For each cyclic loading and unloadingthe relationship between residual volumetric strains versus residual principal strains are acquired from the curveswhich provide the fundamental data for further dilation property research. According to the evolution law of damage variable versus plastic shear strain curvesthe relationships between energy dissipation ratio and shear dilation angle are constructed. Summarilythe research reveals that the damage evolution process of rock based on energy dissipation mechanism and these relationships with its dilation to failure has important significant for which sets up a bridge between energy mechanism and dilation during failure process.

Experimental test for coal face stability study has been designed to conduct similarity simulation test in order to study the relations between coal face stability and influence factors such as mining heightsupport working resistancecoal face pressure and coal strength. UDEC numerical simulation was used to simulate the coal face deformation in changing mining heightcohesionsupport capacity and advancing length. The study shows that coal face pressure and coal strength are the main reason that causing coal face failure. The larger is the mining heightthe smaller is the limited coal face failure pressure. The larger is the support capacitythe smaller is the coal face pressure. Howeverimproving of support capacity only has limit impact on coal wall failure controlling. Guard board of support can prevent the fractured coal face from sliding down effectively but has little impact on coal face failure controlling. There is a large deformation in coal body before the coal face failure. The coal face failure position locates as the upper part of coal faceusually 60%70% of mining height. These results provide a foundation for coal face spalling prevention.

The focus of prevention and control of water inrush from floor is to study the evolution of the intact floor from aquifuge to water-conducting. According to the elastic stiffness variation characteristics of floor rock mass in mining processwhich beard loading of compression-tension-compressionusing double scalar D-P elastoplastic damage constitutive modelfinite element model was built based on the engineering geological conditions of Chengzhuang minethe evolution law of water-conducting was analyzed in working face advancing process. The main conclusions are as follows(1) Compression and tensile damage zones exist in mining floor. Compressive and tensile damage zones lead and lag coal wall respectivelyboth of them are connectedforming a water-conductingwhich is inclined to pass through the plane of the coal wall. (2) Floor damage depth increases with the increase of the roof hanging areaand leads to the fracture depth increases again in last calculation step. Under the influence of filling bodythe growth rate of the floor compression damage depth at the position of the coal wall is rapidly decreasing(the first roof caving)and finally reaching stability(the periodic caving). (3) Floor failure depth will rapid increase if elastic modulus of filling body is too low. Under the action of the filling bodythe tension crack closure and the elastic stiffness of floor rock mass are restoredpermeability of rock mass is decreased at the same time. The monitoring results obtained from the water injection experiment are in agreement with the numerical simulation results.

Monitoring on the deformation of the engineering rock mass is one time and cost consuming taskespecially for the cases with large monitoring section and long monitoring distance and when the power supply is not properly available. To overcome these difficulties and improve the efficiency of monitoringwe present anon-contact measurement system. The principle of this method is converting the internal displacement of surrounding rock to the rotation angle of the disk. A diaphragm is arranged below the rotating disk with an observation window. The intensity of the light reflected from the different regions of the diaphragm is changedand the rotary angle of the disk is calculated by the intensity of reflected light. Through the laboratory testit shows that there is a good linear relationship between the intensity of the reflected light and the rotary angle of the disk. By modelingthe monitoring precision of the internal displacement of surrounding rock can be effectively improved. The new measurement scheme was verified in Long men tunnel. Comparison test and surrounding rock grade survey show that the results of measurement are in line with the actual situation. The new measurement system can achieve non-contact measurement and reach the accuracy of engineering measurement.

As of nowto some extent most of existing thermal insulation measures are dependent of experiences in absence of relevant technical supporttypically involving serious issue associated with frost damage of tunnel structure. To predict frost damage of tunnelby surveying 156 tunnels subject to frost damagewe found the tunnels in cold region can be preliminarily classified into two groupsthe tunnel at high latitude as well as the tunnel at high altitude. According to both of the average temperature in the coldest month and the frozen depthtunnels were further subdivided into 5 sub-regions where thermal insulation and drainage technologies of tunnel were discussed. Probing into the results reveals that the method of thermal insulation layer is well applicable to the region where the average temperature in the coldest month ranges from 5 ℃ to 15 ℃. For region with average temperature in the coldest month below 15 ℃other active insulation measures should employed at the section where surface temperature of the secondary lining exposes below 15 ℃.

Show Abstract

It is the essential prerequisite for mechanical analysis of the underground cavern with the complex variable theory that the conformal mapping function must be solved. According to the boundary correspondence principlea conformal mapping function is established that can transform the exterior of the arbitrary excavation cross-section in half-plane to the area between two concentric circles. A method for calculating the conformal mapping coefficients is also proposed. By using the method of odd even point interpolation and genetic optimization and sequential quadratic programming algorithmthe high resolution is realized. Based on the analytic property of mapping functiona simplified method of mapping function in the process of solving complex stress function is given. The results show that(1) The proposed mapping function method can solve the difficulty caused by horizonand the existing research results can be applied to the solution of the function coefficients directly. (2) The tunnel boundary mapping accuracy is very highthe relative error can be controlled within 0.5%the surface boundary mapping accuracy is slightly worsebut all can be controlled within 5%and the mapping accuracy increases with the increase of the number of coefficientswhich can meet the needs of engineering and research. (3) Taking a shallow buried rectangular project as an examplethe proposed solution method and simplification method of mapping function are adopted. The results are in good agreement with the finite element resultswith a difference of less than 1%.

Show Abstract

Taking ten standard joint profiles proposed by Barton as an objectprofessional image processing softwares PHOTOSHOP and MATLAB were firstly used to digitize the image of ten standard JRC profiles by removing stray dots located close to the profiles and interpolating pixels between discontinuities in the profilesthen accurate coordinates data of ten standard joint profiles were obtained. On this basisthe root mean square of slope Z2 and amplitude parameter hA of the standard profiles were calculated at different sampling intervalsand a new empirical equation between JRC and Z2 and hA was established. Then the new equationas well as other commonly-used empirical equationswere employed to calculate the JRC values of ten standard profiles and some natural rock joint profiles. The predictions of JRC were compared with the back-analysis values from shear testsfrom which it can be concluded that the prediction accuracy of the new empirical equation is greater than that of the former empirical equationsand it has a good prospect in engineering applications.

Show Abstract

In order to study the seismic performance of rock underground engineering during whole life in western Chinaa calculation method with Matlab-Abaqus-BP based on the time-dependent reliability theory is proposed for researching the seismic performance of underground structures in strong earthquake areas. The method has the advantages of high precision and small computational amount based on Latin hypercube sampling and neural network. Taking the Xianglushan Tunnel of Water diversion project in central Yunnan as an examplethe calculated results show that both the mean values of structural resistance and load response show a slowly decreasing trend during the service period. Howeverthe standard deviation of structural resistance increases more rapidlyindicating the samples of structural resistance are more discretewhich lead to the rapid decline of the reliability index in the late stage of service. The method can quickly and effectively study the seismic performance of the lining structure during the whole service periodand provide a theoretical basis for the reasonable selection of the structural reinforcement time. The method can be used to provide reference for the seismic performance of underground engineering to analyze the seismic performance of the tunnel during whole life.

As a common ill geologic phenomenon in mountainous areasdebris flow has brought about great number of disasters. Due to the complexity of formation and evolvement of debris flowshoweverit is difficult to exactly evaluate the risk of debris flows. In this paperon basis of the investigation of 55 debris flow cases in southwest Chinait was proposed to assess the risk of debris flows according to three parameters including rain intensityslope gradient and unstable material source. Effects of rain intensityslope gradient and unstable material source on the risk of debris flows were discussed and corresponding influence coefficients of the three parameters were given out. A three-parameter method for evaluating debris flow hazards was developed through back analysis and improved by a correction factor considering the block conditions of debris flow gullies. The method was applied to an amount of debris flow cases and proved to be reasonable.

In order to avoid the discreteness in laboratory test of rock mechanicswith the current prevailing technology of non-destructive testingin view of the Hertz contact theory and energy conservation lawand based on the principle of rebound detectionthe mechanism of rock-strength prediction by ultrasonic- rebound-density comprehensive screening method is studiedand multiple regression models are established concerning the relationships of rock uniaxial compressive strength with densityrebound and compressional wave velocity. Thus combined with stratigraphic CT scanning techniquea new method to predict the compressive strength of rock mass is put forward. Then after the non-destructive testing of granite and sandstonethis paper obtained their predicted compressive strength with the models mentioned above.

The construction of inclined tunnel by shield method is the first applied in New Street of Shenhua Company in China. The tunnels are excavated by a tunnel boring machine and supported by a 350 mm segmented concrete linerwhich is quite different from the traditional way using in a coal mine. In order to study the structural stability of inclined tunnel under deep mining activitiesa physical model test is adopted by using a self-developed multi-functional model test benchand the whole process of shield excavation and coal mining are simulated. During the testtangential force and displacement of the measuring targets around the liner are measuredsafety factor method is used to evaluate the structural safety of the inclined tunnel and finally the suitable coal pillar width under deep high stress is determined. In the same timeduring the mining processthe vibration effect by the overlying rock mass collapse on the segment is recorded and the influence of deep mining on structural stability of inclined tunnel under high in-situ stress is analysed. The test results show that the most suitable coal pillar width of the researched cross-section is 108.5 m. Moreoverthe most unsafe position appears in the spring line next to the side of excavation. It is found that in deep miningas the coal excavationthe maximum amplitude of the measuring targets increaseswhich promotes the cracking of segment.

Show Abstract

The excavation of tunnels in the soft rock stratum with high geo-stress is easy to cause large squeezing deformationwhich is one of the main problems in tunnel construction. This article relies on Maoxian tunnel of Chengdu-Lanzhou Railway to analyse the deformation characteristics and failure modes of Maoxian tunneland the deformation and supporting mechanism of large deformation tunnel in squeezing-shattered soft rock was researched. The results show thatduring the construction of high geo-stress soft rock tunnelthe magnitude and velocity of deformation might maintain a high level for several daysand the extrusion flow of the surrounding rock was obvious. The loosening circle of surrounding rock had a large radius and appeared to be multi-layered. The bolts in vault area were under pressure. Thusthe bolts and the rock mass turned into a compressing zone togetherbore the load jointly. The support structure was under considerable deformation pressure. The steel girders were mostly working at yield state or became failure in various formsbut the failure point was concentrated at some specific locations. As for the rock massthe shear failure took the main partand the expansion of joints was obvious. Grouting took a remarkable effect in strengthening the surrounding rock and maintaining the anchor effect. Multi-layer support could release the deformation potential of the surrounding rock graduallyimprove the bearing performance of the structureand reduce the impact of rheological behavior.

Show Abstract

To evaluate the stability of filling grouting slurrythe slurry stability test device was designed. The slurry stability coefficient index was defined to quantitatively evaluate the stability of clay cement slurry and pure cement slurry under different grouting parameters. The influence of slurry stability on practical engineering was deducedand the results were verified by practical engineering. The results show that the grouting parameters and strata conditions have significant impacts on the stability of pure cement slurry and clay cement slurry. Under the same conditionthe stability of clay cement slurry is better than that of pure cement slurry. They are both negatively correlated with water solid ratioand positively correlated with strata grouting pressure and drainage conditions. The slurry with better stability can provide a higher filling rate and its effective diffusion distance is relatively largebut its diffusion distance is relatively small. When the stability coefficient of the clay cement slurry is less than 83% or the stability coefficient of cement slurry is less than 71%the shear failure along inclined plane occurs easily. In the practical filling grouting projectto ensure a better filling rateit′s advised to choose slurry that with better stability and greatly match the relationship between hole spacing and slurry stability. Under critical strata conditionthe slurry stability coefficients can be obtained by adjusting the slurry water-solid ratio and grouting pressure. The experimental results can provide some reference for filling grouting theory and practical engineering case.

Show Abstract

Until nowthe formation process of debris flow from natural dam failure is still unclear and there has not been a formation condition for outburst debris flow. In this paperwe present the results of a series of laboratory tests that assessed three different materialsfive different flume bed slope angles (2°7°9°10°and 13°)two in-flow rates and four types of dam geometric shapes. It shows that debris flow is easier to form from natural dam failure than gully erosion. The unit weight of water-sand mixture in the downstream increases firstlyand then decreases with time developing. The results also show that the unit weight of water-sand mixture is seriously affected by channel bed slopes. In additionthe decrease of median diameter and the increase of downstream slope can both increase the unit weight of water-sand mixtureand the unit weight of water-sand mixture is less sensitive to downstream slope of the dam than channel bed slopes and dam geometric shapes. Based on the theory of stream power and experimental datawe established a critical condition for debris flow formation from natural dam failurewhich is simple to calculate and the parameters can be obtained easily. Combining four casesit indicates that the established critical condition agrees well with the field.

Based on the three-dimensional axisymmetric model which only considers the vertical wave effect of soilthe vertical vibration of a large diameter pipe pile is investigated considering the compacting effect. Firstthe outer soil and inner soil are respectively divided into finite vertical annular zonesand the soil within the same zone is considered as homogeneous. Thenthe vertical vibration governing equations of each soil zone are built. By solving the equations and together with the continuity of the displacements and stresses at both the interfaces of pile-soil and the interfaces of the adjacent soil zonesthe dynamic interactions of pile-outer soil and pile-inner soil are obtained and are substituted into the governing equation of pile to obtain the analytical solution for dynamic response at the pile head in the frequency domain. Finallya parametric analysis is conducted within the low frequency range to analyze the influence of pile parameters and the compacting effect on the complex impedance at the pile head. Meanwhilecomparison with the published solution is carried out to verify the reliability of the present solution.

Based on the isotropic compression law of soilthe total deformation of soil is divided into instantaneous and time delayed. Referring to the calculation methods for instantaneous and delayed compression of united hardening(UH) modelan one-dimensional elastic-viscous-plastic(EVP) constitutive model is developed. On the basis of an elastic plastic(EP) constitutive model for soil considering the stress paths dependencyinfluences of over consolidated ratio(OCR) and shear stress ratio on instant compression are consideredthe delayed compression law under isotropic condition is extended to three-dimensional stress state by combining with overstress theory and plastic potential function of the modified Cam-clay model. Then a calculation method for instant and delayed compression under three dimensional stress state is proposedmeanwhile a 3D EVP model is built. The new model contains 7 material parametersphysical significances and determination of parameters have been analyzed and given. Comparisons between model predictions and experimental results show the 3D model can describe viscosity properties of clay and sand reasonably under not only conventional stress pathbut also typical stress paths of stress ratio loading under excavation.

This paper studies the characteristic of remolded expansive clay in Hefei. A series of three-dimensional swelling tests were conducted for cubic expansive soil of different initial moisture contents and dry density as well as the swelling pressure tests under the control of the vertical strain and the lateral strain. The vertical swelling pressure is always bigger than lateral swelling pressure. Moreoverthe range of R0 change is between 0.525 and 0.904. Secondlyunder the same initial moisture contentsR0 will increase with the rise of dry density. At lastthe study shows that the trends of evolution of swelling pressure under the control of the vertical strain and the evolution of the lateral swelling pressure under the control of the lateral strain are similar. The tiny strain would lead to the dramatic decrease of swelling pressure. Moreoverwith the decline of the strainthe rate of decay of swelling pressure will increase.

Show Abstract

In order to improve the seismic stability calculation method of retaining structurea formula of the reinforcement tension coefficient under seismic actions is establishedwhich is based on pseudo-static method and horizontal slice analysis. The derivation aims at the waterfront reinforced-soil wall under partial submerged conditions. And two types of failure surfaces in the forms of linear and polyline in the backfill are considered. Besidesaccording to the difference of permeabilitysoil and water pressure together or separately are calculated by this method respectively. The effects of horizontal seismic inertia forcevertical seismic inertia forceseismic excess pore pressure and hydrodynamic pressure are taken into accounted. Compared with the dry backfill conditionreinforcement tension required in the submerged condition will be greater significantlywhich should be paid reasonable considerations in engineering design. The parametric studies demonstrate that the reinforcement tension coefficient of linear failure surface is higher than that of polyline failure surface. The coefficient calculated by soil and water separately is larger than that obtained by soil and water together. Seismic excess pore pressure and water level have a significantly increasing effect on tension coefficient. And the increasing amplitude is related to the forms of failure surfaces and the calculation mode of soil and water pressure. Both soil friction angle and wall friction angle have a decreasing influence on tension coefficientbut the influence of soil friction angle is more obvious.

The macro- and meso-mechanical behaviors of shear band were simulated using discrete element method. Loop structures were taken as the basic meso-mechanical unit of granular material after tessellation. The evolution of numbersgeometrical morphologymechanical characteristic and sliding stabilities for different loops during shearing were analyzed in detailsand the essential relationships were discussed between the variation of loops and the strengthdilatancy of granular material. Numerical results show that the variation of numbers and geometrical morphology of loop structures are approximately consistent inside and outside the shear band during shearingbut the degrees are differentthe mechanical states and sliding stabilities of different loops inside and outside the shear band are obviously different. Proportions of higher-order loops are increasing and shapes of them are more flatwhile proportions of lower-order loops are decreasing and shapes are keeping unchanged. The macro-scale dilatancy is reflected by the conversion from lower-order loops to higher-order loops in meso-scale mechanical structurewhich forms a kind of self-organized structure under specific force and boundary condition. Two kinds of definition of sliding rate were proposed to analyze the sliding stabilities of loop structures. Evolution of sliding rate inside the shear band after peak stress state is obviously different from that outside the shear bandand the location of maximum sliding rate are not coincide with the location of peak stress point on stress-strain curve. The strong force chainswhich are formed by higher-order loopsundertake larger load and have higher sliding stability than lower-order loops. The contact sliding and recombination during the conversion from lower-order loops to high-order loops are the main causes of plastic deformation for granular material.

Show Abstract

Under various vertical stresses and number of geogrids layersthree types of geogrids were usedrespectivelyand 30 groups of simple shear tests were conducted on geogrids reinforced sand to study the change of shear behavior of soil. The three geogrids used were rectangular and elliptical bidirectional geogrids along with a tridirectional geogrids. The experimental results show that the thickness of the ribs and nodes as well as the relative opening area positively correlated with the shear resistance while the length and width of ribs negatively correlated with the shear resistance. Besidesthe number of layers of geogrids influenced the mechanical properties of sandy soil. The strength decreased when geogrids were added with their laying directions corresponding to the shear direction. The shear failure surfaces were in the upper part of the specimens while in the lower part showed small relative displacement. Meanwhilethe cohesion appeared but friction angle reduced. Therefore when adding geogrids to the same direction with the shear direction of sandy soil will result in a weak soil-geogrid interfaceand thus the shear strength decreases. Howeverthe reinforced sandy soil shows an apparent cohesion due to the restriction from the geogrids to the sand.

Show Abstract

To solve the problems related to the displacement measuring devices in the static load tests of foundation pilessuch as small measuring rangesnecessitating datum beams and the critical demands for perpendicularitythe differential pressure connected pipe displacement meter based on liquid-gas coupling formed of connected pipes and differential pressure sensors is proposedbased on the combined use of theoretical analysiscomparative tests and field tests. In the design of the composition of the displacement metera kind of liquid level elevation control method and structural formation were chosenby considering that the liquid surface can automatically look for equal elevation and keep remaining in a horizontal plan under the action of gravitywhich allows the initial liquid level elevations at the two ends of the displacement meter to keep the same and reduce errors. The comparative testing within the displacement range of 100 mm demonstrated that the data gained from this displacement meter were in compliance with those gained by dial indicators and stepping motor control type mobile platformwith a maximum absolute error of 0.04 mm. In the field tests for the trial pile project of a Yangtze River Bridgethe maximum downward displacement measured was 36.46 mmand the maximum upward displacement 127.34 mmwhich were basically in agreement with those measured by relative deviceswith a maximum difference of +0.28 mm. The matched application procedure to the displacement meter developed were compiled by Labviewsupporting the manual intervention short-term measurement and automated continuous long-term measurement. No datum beams were needed during the testing period of the displacement meter. The displacement meter has no requirements for perpendicularity in the installationwhich has low costs and great environment adjusting ability and easy to operate. Thereforeit has good publication value in the static load tests for foundation piles.

Show Abstract

In order to investigate the effect of salt on water and salt redistribution in freezing process, unidirectional freezing tests of soils with different salt contents were conducted. Moreover, model tests with four different boundary conditions(freeze-thaw cycleevaporation, radiation, and precipitation) were used to investigate the transfer mechanism of salt and water in saline frozen soil. The results indicated as followsdue to the existence of saltmoisture migration will be weaken in the soil during freezingso that the frost heave was mitigated. As no salt crystallizes in the freezing processonly frost heave exists in NaCl soil. HoweverNa2SO4 is sensitive to temperatureboth salt and ice may crystallize during coolingresulting in frost heave and salt expansion in sodium sulfate soil. Besidesthe permeability of soil was decreased by Na2SO4 crystalsthus the water movement was reduced. In Na2SO4 soil with high salt contents(e.g. 3.6%)in-situ salt expansion and frost heave occur at the initial freezing processand segregation heave is negligible. For the Na2SO4 soil with salt content 2%the water and salt migration are also negligible in freezing-thawing process. Salt effloresces in the evaporation processand surface soil salinity moves downward with water infiltration. Dry-wet cycle is the main cause of salt expansionwhich has a stronger effect on salt movement than freezing process. Salt expansion exists at the soil surfacewhile frost heave is observed at freezing fringe. Finallythe water and salt transfer mechanism have been investigatedincluding the cause of salt expansion and frost heave.

Show Abstract

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported embankmenthas been considered as an effective and economic solution to reduce the total and differential settlements of the embankment constructed on soft soil. In this papera simplified method for analysis of an embankment on soft soil and supported by a rectangular grid of piles and geosynthetic is proposed. In this methodthe soil arching effect is analyzed by arching effect in granular material initially proposed by Low B.K. et al.and subsoil resistancegeosynthetic effect and especially load transmission of pile and soil are taken into consideration. Quadratic parabolic equation is employed to described the deformation of the geosynthetic. Ultimately the expression for subsoil resistance has been deducedand then the tension and the deformation expression of geosynthetic can be worked out. Through comparative analysis with field test and other current design methodsit is found that the proposed method is conceptually and mathematically simpleand the results agree well with field test data and that of several current design methods.

Show Abstract

When the classical Seed¢s liquefaction resistance shear stress analysis method is used to evaluate the liquefaction potential of an engineering siteseismic magnitude and other several key parameters are essential. Howeverit is often difficult to determine the seismic magnitude parameter for some ocean engineering sitesbecause of the lack of nearby referential engineering sites. In order to solve this problemwe proposed that the equivalent seismic magnitude determined from the comprehensive seismic risk probability analysis method could be used as the reference magnitude for the evaluation of site liquefaction potential. The proposed method was applied to two ocean oil platform sites in Bohai Sea to evaluate the liquefaction potential of the saturated sand layers with a thickness of 15 m below seabed mud. The results showed that the method has satisfying effect and practical value in liquefaction potential evaluation for ocean engineering sites.

Show Abstract

The lateral launching scheme of shieldusing shaft and π shaped double-cross channelis adopted for Changchun Metro Line 2 between Nanguan and Yanchang. The proposed method successfully overcomes the problem that the shield launching shaft cannot be set up directly on the truck road. CRD method is applied to the cross channel with six pilot tunnels. Relying on this projectthe ground subsidence deformation characteristics during excavation of π shaped double-cross channel were analyzed using field measured datatheoretical analysis method and numerical simulation. The research shows that the patterns of ground deformation caused by right and left cross channel excavation are basically the same. The ground subsidencewhich starts from the intersection between arc segment and line segmentis the largest and is always beyond 30 mm. The area of the section is about four times of the tunnel diameter. More than 85% of the total ground subsidence is caused by the excavation of the first four pilot tunnels(upper-leftmid-leftupper-right and bottom-left pilot tunnels) and the stratum loss rate increases proportionally along with the increase of excavation areas of the cross channel. With the proceeding of the last two pilot tunnels excavation(mid-right and bottom-right pilot tunnels)the stratum loss rate gradually decreases. The research results can provide reference to the construction and can be adopted for similar engineering.
