Softening response under undrained compression following anisotropic consolidation

Experimental evidence has indicated that clay exhibits strain-softening response under undrained compression following anisotropic consolidation.The purpose of this work was to propose a modeling method under critical state theory of soil mechanics.Based on experimental data on different types of clay,a simple double-surface model was developed considering explicitly the location of critical state by incorporating the density state into constitutive equations.The model was then used to simulate undrained triaxial compression tests performed on isotropically and anisotropically consolidated samples with different stress ratios.The predictions were compared with experimental results.All simulations demonstrate that the proposed approach is capable of describing the drained and undrained compression behaviors following isotropic and anisotropic consolidations.

沉积物中甲烷水合物饱和度测定及其力学特性研究

在自主研制的实验装置上合成甲烷水合物,采用时域反射技术(TDR)实时监测甲烷水合物生成过程中饱和度的变化,并与系统的压力降法计算的饱和度进行了对比。结果表明TDR法简单易行,结果可靠。对含甲烷水合物沉积物进行了一系列不排水三轴压缩实验,结果表明,含甲烷水合物沉积物的抗剪强度随着有效围压的增加和水合物饱和度的增加而增大;粘聚力随着甲烷水合物饱和度的增加而明显增加,但内摩擦角变化并不显著。在此基础上,提出了抗剪强度与有效围压和水合物饱和度的关系模型。
