Time effect on the deformation and strength characteristics of geogrid reinforced sand retaining wall has become an important issue in geotechnical and transportation engineering. Three physical model tests on geogrid reinforced sand retaining walls performed under various loading conditions were simulated to study their rate-dependent behaviors, using the presented nonlinear finite element method (FEM) analysis procedure. This FEM was based on the dynamic relaxation method and return mapping scheme, in which the combined effects of the rate-dependent behaviors of both the backfill soil and the geosynthetic reinforcement have been included. The rate-dependent behaviors of sands and geogrids should be attributed to the viscous property of materials, which can be described by the unified three-component elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model. By comparing the FEM simulations and the test results, it can be found that the present FEM was able to be successfully extended to the boundary value problems of geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls. The deformation and strength characteristics of the geogrid reinforced sand retaining walls can be well reproduced. Loading rate effect, the trends of jump in footing pressure upon the step-changes in the loading rate, occurred not only on sands and geogrids but also on geogrid reinforced sands retaining walls. The lateral earth pressure distributions against the back of retaining wall, the local tensile force in the geogrid arranged in the retaining wall and the local stresses beneath the footing under various loading conditions can also be predicted well in the FEM simulations.

본 논문에서는 유효응력모델을 이용하여 포화된 사면의 동적거동에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 수치해석에는 저자가 개발한 연성 유효응력모델인 UBSSAND모델을 이용하였으며, 이 모델은 초기전단응력이 수평면에 작용하는 경우와 작용하지 않는 경우를 포함한 반복 직접단순전단시험 자료를 이용하여 검증하였다. 검증된 모델은 느슨한 Fraser River 모래로 성형된 사면을 가진 원심모형모델의 동적거동을 예측하였다. 예측된 과잉간극수압, 가속도 및 변위를 계측치와 서로 비교하였으며, 예측치와 계측치는 비교적 서로 잘 일치하였다. 전단응력도의 응력전환형태는 초기전단응력과 반복전단응력의 크기에 따라 달라지며, 이는 지진시 포화된 사면의 안정해석에 아주 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 전단응력도의 응력전환이 발생하지 않을 경우에 사면근처의 모래는 낮은 유효응력 구속압과 그에 따른 팽창성으로(부의 과잉간극수압발생) 유효응력이 증가하여, 동적하중 하의 사면의 변위를 저지하였다. 이와 같은 유효응력모델은 액상화를 고려한 지반구조물의 내진해석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

The influence of normal stress perpendicular to the potential shear plane was always neglected in existing researches, which may lead to a serious deviation of the shear strength of concrete members in practice designs and numerical analyses. In this study, a series of experimental studies are carried out in this paper, which serves to investigate the shear behavior of concrete under compression shear loading. Based on the test results, a three-phase shear failure model for cohesive elements are developed, which is able to take into consideration the influence of normal stress on the shear strength of concrete. To identify the accuracy and applicability of the proposed model, numerical models of a double-noted concrete plate are developed and compared with experimental results. Results show that the proposed constitutive model is able to take into consideration the influence of normal stress on the shear strength of concrete materials, and is effective and accurate for describing the complex fracture of concrete, especially the failure modes under compression shear loadings.

To study the mechanical properties of steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) filled circular steel tube columns under eccentric compression loads, this study presents a finite element model which can simulate the eccentrically compressed columns using ABAQUS software. The analytical model was established by selecting the reasonable nonlinear analysis theory and the constitutive relationship of materials in the columns. The influences of design parameters on the eccentric compressive performance of columns were also considered in detail, such as the diameter-thickness ratio of circular steel tube, replacement percentage of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA), slenderness ratio, eccentricity, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) strength and steel strength and so on. The deformation diagram, stress nephogram and load-displacement curves of the eccentrically compressed columns were obtained and compared with the test results of specimens. The results show that although there is a certain error between the calculation results and the test results, the error is small, which shows the rationality on the numerical model of eccentrically compressed columns. The failure of the columns is mainly due to the symmetrical bending of the columns towards the middle compression zone, which is a typical compression bending failure. The eccentric bearing capacity and deformation capacity of columns increase with the increase of the strength of steel tube and profile steel respectively. Compared with profile steel, the strength of steel tube has a greater influence on the eccentric compressive performance of columns. Improving the strength of RAC is beneficial to the eccentric bearing capacity of columns. In addition, the eccentric bearing capacity and deformation capacity of columns decrease with the increase of replacement percentage of RCA. The section form of profile steel has little influence on the eccentric compression performance of columns. On this basis, the calculation formulas on the nominal eccentric bearing capacity of columns were also put forward and the results calculated by the proposed formulas are in good agreement with the test values.

The rapid development of the economy has compelled the widen of highways, and the main challenge of this undertaking lies in the uneven settlement of road embankments. Through field and numerical experiments, this study explores the deformation mechanism of shallow buried pipelines due to road widening. The utilization of Plaxis3D software, which is adapt at simulating complex engineering geological conditions, enables the simulation of the settlement of both the central and right-side road embankments. Comparing with other numerical software such as ABAQUS and COMSOL, Plaxis provided more constitutive models including HS, HSS and Hoek-Brown model. The work concludes that the uneven settlement of road cross-sections is positively correlated with the horizontal distance from the pipeline, with a maximum settlement of 73 mm observed after construction. Furthermore, based on the Winkler's assumption, theoretical settlement and stress calculation methods are established. Results indicate that the maximum difference between the calculated values of this formula and simulated values is 1.9% and 7%, respectively. Additionally, the study investigates the stress and settlement of the pipeline's top under different angles to understand its behavior under various conditions. It finds that with traffic loads applied to the new embankment, a lever effect occurs on the lower pipeline, with the fulcrum located within the central isolation zone, leading to a transition in curve type from "single peak and single valley" to "double peak and single valley." Moreover, the settlement of pipelines on both sides of the central isolation zone and the normal stress of the pipeline's top section are symmetrical.

Using the mechanical treatments for mechanical properties improvement was rarely in the development scope before. This research approves through analytical ways that surface impacts can improve the quality of the surface significantly. This fact is approved for deposited titanium on silicone substrate. The new algorithm called minimum resultant error method (MREM) which is a direct combination of nanoindentation, FEM and dimensional analysis through a reverse method is utilized to extract the mechanical characteristics of the coating surface before and after impact. This method is extended to the time dependent behavior of the material to obtain strain rate coefficient. To implement this new approach, a new analysis technic is developed to define the residual stress field caused by surface impact as initial condition for nanoindentation. Analyzing the model in micro and macro scale at the same time was one of the main resolved challenges in this study. The result was obtaining of the constants of Johnson-Cook constitutive equation. Comparing the characteristics of the coating surface before and after impact shows high improvement in yield stress (34%), Elastic modulus (7.75%) and strain hardening coefficient (2.8%). The main achievement is that the strength improvement in titanium thin layer is much higher than bulk titanium. The yield strength shows 41.7% improvement for coated titanium comparing with 24% for bulk material. The rate of enhancement is about 6 times when it comes to the Young's modulus.

In order to study the mechanical propertied and change rules of undrained shear behavior of saline soil under the freeze-thaw cycles, an improved constitutive model reflecting the effects of freeze-thaw cycles was proposed based on the traditional Duncan-Chang model. The saline soil in Qian'an County, western Jilin Province, was selected as the experimental object. Then, a set of freeze-thaw cycles (0, 1, 10, 30, 60, 90, 120) tests were conducted on the saline soil specimens, and conventional consolidated undrained triaxial shear tests were conducted on the saline soil specimens that underwent freeze-thaw cycles. The stress-strain relationship was obtained by the triaxial shear test. The model parameters have a corresponding regression relationship with the number of freeze-thaw cycles. Finally, based on the function expression of the model parameters, the modified Duncan-Chang model with the number of freeze-thaw cycles as the influence factor was established, whilst the calculation program of the modified model is compiled. Based on the test results, the stress-strain relationship of the saline soil specimen shows strain hardening. The shear strength gradually decreases with the increase of freeze-thaw cycle. The 10 freeze-thaw cycles are the turning point in the trend of changes of the mechanical properties of saline soils. The calculated and experimental stress-strain relationship are compared, and the comparison between the calculated value of the model and the experimental value showed that the two had a good consistency, which verified the validity of the modified Duncan-Chang model in reflecting the effects of the freeze-thaw cycle.

1973년(年)에 완공(完工)된 소양강댐은 매설계기가 잘 설치되어 그 댐의 응력(應力)과 변형(變形)의 측정결과는 이미 발표된 바 있다. 그러나 이론적(理論的)인 해석은 지금까지 이루어지지 않았다. 본(本)연구(硏究)는 시공시(施工時) 재료의 자중을 받고 또 담수시 물 하중을 받게 되는 댐 본체의 응력(應力)과 변형(變形) 거동을 수치적(數値的)으로 해석하려는데 그 목적(目的)이 있다. 해석(解析)에 사용(使用)된 구성법칙(構成法則)은 Duncan 등(等)이 개발한 hyperbolic 모델이며, 시공단계(施工段階)를 모방한 비선형증가(非線型增加) 유한요소해석(有限要素解析)이 본(本) 연구(硏究)에 적용되었다. hyperbolic 파라미터들은 문헌에서 추정하여 사용(使用)하였다. 이론적(理論的) 해석(解析)으로부터 얻어진 결과는 댐의 임의의 단면에서의 변형특성과 응력벡타를 명확(明確)하게 나타내었다. 해석결과는 최대단면(最大斷面)에서의 변형측정치(變形測定値)와 잘 일치(一致)하였으나 수평변형(水平變形)과 심벽(心壁)에 생긴 응력에 있어서는 약간의 차이를 보였다. 수치해석과 측정치와의 비교(比較)로부터 얻은 본댐의 거동의 특징(特徵)은 심벽에서 비교적(比較的) 큰 시공침하(施工沈下)가 생겼고, 심벽의 토피하중(土被荷重)은 아아칭 효과에 의해 상당히 감소되었고, 또 양안부근(兩岸附近)에서는 수평변위(水平變位)가 커서 인장구역(引張區域)이 생길 수 있다는 것이다.
