Abstract

In this study, Barcelona Basic Model (BBM) was implemented into TOUGH2-MP/FLAC3D for the numerical analysis of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behavior of unsaturated soils and the prediction of long-term behaviors. Similar to the methodology described in a previous study for the implementation of BBM into TOUGH-FLAC, the User Defined Model (UDM) of FLAC based on the Modified Cam Clay Model (MCCM) and the FISH function of FLAC3D were used to extend the existing MCCM module in FLAC3D for the implementation of BBM into TOUGH2-MP/FLAC3D. In the developed BBM module in TOUGH2-MP/FLAC3D, the plastic strains due to change in suction increase (SI) in addition to mean effective stress are calculated. In addition to loading-collapse (LC) yield surface, suction increase (SI) yield surface is changed by hardening rules in the developed BBM module. Several numerical simulations were conducted to verify and validate the implementation of BBM: using an example presented in the FLAC3D manual for the standard MCCM, simulation results using COMSOL, and experimental data presented in SKB Reports. In addition, the developed BBM analysis module was validated by simultaneously performing a series of modeling tests that were performed for the validation of the Quick tools developed for the purpose of effectively deriving BBM parameters, and by comparing the Quick tools and Code_Bright results reported in a previous study.

본 연구에서는 불포화토의 열-수리적 변화로 야기되는 역학적 거동 특성을 분석하고 장기 거동을 예측하기 위해 Barcelona Basic Model(BBM) 해석 모듈을 TOUGH2-MP/FLAC3D에서 구동할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 기본적으로는 TOUGH-FLAC에 BBM 해석 모듈을 개발하기 위해 사용된 선행연구의 방법과 마찬가지로 FLAC에서 제공하고 있는 Modified Cam Clay Model(MCCM)을 기반으로 User Defined Model(UDM)과 FLAC3D에서 제공하는 FISH function을 이용하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 BBM 해석 모듈에서는 평균유효응력뿐만 아니라 흡입력의 변화에 따른 소성변형률을 모두 고려하였으며, 평균유효응력 및 흡입력 증가에 따른 항복면의 변화를 모두 반영할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 BBM 해석 모듈을 FLAC3D 매뉴얼에 기술되어 있는 MCCM 예제, BBM을 처음 제안한 선행연구에 언급되어 있는 예제들, 그리고 스웨덴 SKB 보고서에 언급되어 있는 실험실 시험 결과를 이용하여 검증하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 효과적인 BBM의 파라미터 도출을 목적으로 개발된 Quick tools의 검증을 위해 수행된 일련의 모델링 시험들을 동일하게 수행하고 선행연구에서 보고된 Quick tools와 Code_Bright의 결과와 비교함으로써 개발된 BBM 해석 모듈을 검증하였다.
