This paper considers dynamic impedance functions and presents a detailed analysis of the soil plasticity influence on the pile-group foundation dynamic response. A three-dimensional finite element model is proposed, and a calculation method considering the time domain is detailed for the nonlinear dynamic impedance functions. The soil mass is modeled as continuum elastoplastic solid using the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion. The piles are modeled as continuum solids and the slab as a structural plate-type element. Quiet boundaries are implemented to avoid wave reflection on the boundaries. The model and method of analysis are validated by comparison with those published on literature. Numerical results are presented in terms of horizontal and vertical nonlinear dynamic impedances as a function of the shear soil parameters (cohesion and internal friction angle), pile spacing ratio and frequencies of the dynamic signal.

Accurate estimations of pre-failure deformations and post-failure responses of geostructures require that the simulation tool possesses at least three main ingredients: 1) a constitutive model that is able to describe the macroscopic stress-strain-strength behavior of soils subjected to complex stress/strain paths over a wide range of confining pressures and densities, 2) an embedded length scale that accounts for the intricate physical phenomena that occur at the grain size scale in the soil, and 3) a computational platform that allows the analysis to be carried out beyond the development of an initially "contained" failure zone in the soil. In this paper, a two-scale micropolar plasticity model will be used to incorporate all these ingredients. The model is implemented in a finite element platform that is based on the mechanics of micropolar continua. Appropriate finite elements are developed to couple displacement, micro-rotations, and pore-water pressure in form of $u_n-{\phi}_m$ and $u_n-p_m-{\phi}_m$ (n > m) elements for analysis of dry and saturated soils. Performance of the model is assessed in a biaxial compression test on a slightly heterogeneous specimen of sand. The role of micropolar component of the model on capturing the post-failure response of the soil is demonstrated.

The prediction of soil response under repetitive mechanical loadings remains challenging in geotechnical engineering applications. Modeling the cyclic soil response requires a robust model validation with an experimental dataset. This study proposes a unique method adopting linearity of model constant with the number of cycles. The model allows the prediction of the terminal density of sediments when subjected to repetitive changes in pore-fluid pressure based on the two-surface plasticity. Model simulations are analyzed in combination with an experimental dataset of sandy sediments when subjected to repetitive changes in pore fluid pressure under constant deviatoric stress conditions. The results show that the modified plastic moduli in the two-surface plasticity model appear to be critical for determining the terminal density. The methodology introduced in this study is expected to contribute to the prediction of the terminal density and the evolution of shear strain at given repetitive loading conditions.

A three dimensional finite element model was used to simulate rapid impact compaction (RIC) in loose granular soils using ABAQUS software for one impact point. The behavior of soil under impact loading was expressed using a cap-plasticity model. Numerical modeling was done for a site in Assalouyeh petrochemical complex in southern Iran to verify the results. In-situ settlements per blow were compared to those in the numerical model. Measurements of improvement by depth were obtained from the in-situ standard penetration, plate loading, and large density tests and were compared with the numerical model results. Contours of the equal relative density clearly showed the efficiency of RIC laterally and at depth. Plastic volumetric strains below the anvil and the effect of RIC set indicated that a set of 10 mm can be considered to be a threshold value for soil improvement using this method. The results showed that RIC strongly improved the soil up to 2 m in depth and commonly influenced the soil up to depths of 4 m.

흙의 응력-변형률 거동을 더욱 근사적으로 예측하기 위하여,소성 증분이론에 한계상태 토질역학의 개념을 도입한 것이 항복-경계면 소성 모델이다. 이 모텔은 등방 압밀 흙의 거동을 묘사하기 위하여 두개의 타원과 하나의 쌍곡선으로 구성되었다. 따라서 사용된 여러가지 매개변수로 인하여 이 모델은 매우 복잡하다. 그러므로,실제 지반 문제에 이 모델을 적용하기 위하여는 이론의 정확한 이해와 숙련이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는,이 모델에 사용된 여러 매개변수들 중항복-경계면 형상 매개변수 R과 A, 투영 중심 매개변수 C를 변화시켜 그 결과를 수치해석하였다. 최종적으로 단조하중과 주기하중에 대한 각각의 민감도를 분석하였고 각 매개변수 값의 범위를 제안하였다.

탄소성 구성방정식은 주로 미분방적식(rate equation)으로 이루어져 있기 때문에 유한요소법 등을 이용한 지반구조물 해석시 미분방정식들에 대한 수치적분을 수행할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 구조물의 거동을 해석할시 미분방정식들을 위한 적분방법은 해석결과의 정확성과 유한요소법 모델링의 안전성에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 개발되어 사용되고 있는 흙에 관한 구성모델인 "Two-surface soil plasticity model (Manzari and Dafalias 1997)"을 Implicit return-mapping 수치적분방법을 이용하여 실행하는 과정을 제시한다. 본 연구에서 사용된 수치적분방법은 Closest-Point-Projection Method(CPPM) 방법으로 탄성 예측자-소성 교정자(elastic predictor-plastic corrector) 개념을 Implicit Backward Euler방법으로 체계화 시킨 알고리듬이다. 본 연구에서 수행한 "Two-surface soil plasticity model"은 조립토의 비선형거동을 해석하며, Bounding surface 개념 및 비선형 등방경화와 이동경화법칙을 사용하는 모델이다. 본 연구는 CPPM 방법이 정확하고 안정되며 유용한 수치적분을 수행할 수 있는 알고리듬이라는 것을 제시한다. 또한, CPPM 알고리듬은 구성방정식의 해를 반복적으로 해석하는 동안 "Consistent tangent operator $d{\sigma}/d{\varepsilon}$"를 제공하므로, 비선형 유한요소 해석이 2차(quadratic convergence rate)의 수렴 조건을 만족하는데 기여한다는 것을 보여준다.

The present fractional-order plasticity models for granular soil are mainly established under the triaxial compression condition, due to its difficult in analytically solving the fractional differentiation of the third stress invariant, e.g., Lode's angle. To solve this problem, a three dimensional fractional-order elastoplastic model based on the transformed stress method, which does not rely on the analytical solution of the Lode's angle, is proposed. A nonassociated plastic flow rule is derived by conducting the fractional derivative of the yielding function with respect to the stress tensor in the transformed stress space. All the model parameters can be easily determined by using laboratory test. The performance of this 3D model is then verified by simulating multi series of true triaxial test results of rockfill.

The aims of this study are to evaluate the application on the stress-strain behavior of granite Soil using Lade's double work hardening constitutive model based on the theories of elasticity and plasticity. From two different sites of construction work, two disturbed and compacted weathered granite samples which are different in partical size and degree of weathering respectively were obtained. The specimen employed were sampled at Iksan and Pochon in order to predict the constitutive model. Using the computer program based on the regression analysis, 11 soil parameters for the model were determined from the simple tests such as an isotropic compression-expansion test and a series of drained conventional triaxial tests. In conclusion, it is shown that Lade's double work hardening model gives the good applicability for processing of stress-strain, work-hardening, work-softening and soil dilatancy. Therefore, this model in its present form is applicable to the compacted decomposed granite soil.

본 연구에서는 얕은기초의 파괴거동과 전체적인 하중-변위 관계를 묘사하는 방법에 대하여 기술하였다. 제안한 방법에 의하여 얕은기초의 최고점 이후의 거동과 점진적인 파괴과정을 비교적 명확히 기술하는 것이 가능함을 보여주었다. 유한요소 수치해석법으로 얕은 기초지반에 대하여 마찰각과 체적팽창각을 달리하여 지지력계수 $N_{\gamma}$을 계산하였다. 일반적으로 적용하는 관련 흐름법칙과 거친 기초조건에 의한 지지력계수 $N_{\gamma}$값은 실제 흙거동인 비관련 흐름법칙과 약간 미끈한 기초조건에 대해서는 불안전한 설계가 되는 것을 보여주었다.
