摘要
为了研究土体刚度指数、应变软化和应变速率对海相黏土锥形因子的影响,利用有限元方法模拟了圆锥在黏土中的静力贯入,并采用任意拉格朗日-欧拉网格划分技术控制锥尖土体在大应变条件下的网格质量,讨论了稳定状态下传统小应变分析与大应变分析之间的差异性以及土体刚度指数对锥形因子与塑性区扩展的影响;引入土体应变软化参数和应变速率依赖性控制参数,分析了应变软化(灵敏度)和应变速率对锥形因子的影响,并建立了考虑土体刚度指数、应变软化和应变速率影响的锥形因子表达式.结果表明:传统小应变分析会大大低估土体承载力,大应变极限承载力随着贯入深度的增大而增大,并在12D(D为探头外径)深度处达到稳定状态;锥形因子与塑性区均随着刚度指数的增大而增大,锥尖附近塑性区的径向扩张更接近于球形孔扩张;土体灵敏度随着应变软化参数的减小而增大,锥形因子出现小幅度减小;随着应变速率控制参数的增大,锥形因子出现大幅增加,但增量与灵敏度无关;锥形因子表达式量化了刚度指数、应变软化和应变速率对海相黏土的影响,有助于利用静力触探技术更准确的评价海相黏土抗剪强度.
To study the influence of the rigidity index, strain softening, and strain rate on the cone factor of marine clay, cone penetration in clay is simulated on the basis of the finite element method, and an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) technique is adopted to control the quality of mesh under the condition of large strain. The difference between the traditional small-strain analysis and the ALE large-strain analysis under the steady state is discussed, and the influences of the rigidity index on the cone factor and the extension of the plastic zone are analyzed. The strain-softening parameters and the strain-rate-controlling parameter for the strain- rate dependency of soil are introduced to analyze the influence of strain softening (sensitivity) and strain rate on the cone factor. In addition, a cone factor expression is proposed considering the influence of the rigidity index, strain softening, and strain rate of the soft soil. The results show that the traditional small-strain analysis greatly underestimates the bearing capacity of clay, whereas the ultimate bearing capacity under large strain increases with penetration depth to finally reach steady state at 12D depth. Moreover, the cone factor and the plastic zone increase with an increase in the rigidity index, and the radial expansion of the plastic zone around the cone tip is closer to the spherical cavity expansion. The sensitivity of the soil increases and the cone factor decreases slightlywith a decrease in the strain-softening parameter. The increase in the strain-rate-controlling parameter causes the cone factor to increase significantly, although the increment is independent of sensitivity. In this study, the influence of the rigidity index, strain softening, and strain rate on the cone factor of marine clay is quantified by this expression, which is helpful in evaluating the shear strength of marine clay using the static cone penetration technique.
