One-dimensional nonlinear consolidation analysis of soil with continuous drainage boundary

Following the assumptions proposed by MESRI and ROKHSAR,the one-dimensional nonlinear consolidation problem of soil under constant loading is studied by introducing continuous drainage boundary.The numerical solution is derived by using finite difference method and its correctness is assessed by comparing with existing analytical and numerical solutions.Based on the present solution,the effects of interface parameters,stress ratios(i.e.,final effective stress over initial effective stress,N_(σ))and the ratio c_(c)/c_(k)of compression index to permeability index on the consolidation behavior of soil are studied in detail.The results show that,the characteristics of one-dimensional nonlinear consolidation of soil are not only related to c_(c)/c_(k)and N_(σ),but also related to boundary conditions.In the engineering practice,the soil drainage rate of consolidation process can be designed by adjusting the values of interface parameters.

Analysis of one-dimensional consolidation of fractional viscoelastic saturated soils under continuous drainage boundary conditions

This paper presents the one-dimensional(1D)viscoelastic consolidation system of saturated clayey soil under continuous drainage boundaries.The fractional-derivative Merchant(FDM)model has been introduced into the consolidation system to simulate the viscoelasticity.Swartzendruber’s flow law is also introduced to describe the non-Darcian flow characteristics simultaneously.The generalized numerical solution of the 1D consolidation under continuous boundaries is given by the finite difference scheme.Furthermore,to illustrate the effectiveness of the numerical method,two simplified cases are compared against the current analytical and numerical results.Finally,the effects of boundary parameters and model parameters on the viscoelastic consolidation were illustrated and discussed.The results indicated that the boundary parameters have a significant influence on consolidation.The larger the values of boundary parameters,the faster the whole dissipation of the excess pore-water pressure and soils’settlement rate.Fractional-order and viscosity parameter have little effect on consolidation,which are primarily significant in the middle and late consolidation phases.With the increase of the modulus ratio,the whole consolidation process becomes faster.Moreover,considering Swartzendruber’s flow delays the consolidation rate of the soil layer.

Effect of Continuous Double-Lumen Irrigation Drainage at Constant Temperature on the Control of Abdominal Infection After Surgery

Objective:To investigate the effect of continuous double-lumen irrigation drainage at constant temperature on the control of abdominal infection after surgery,providing a reference for clinical treatment.Methods:From December 2022 to August 2023,100 patients with abdominal infections after surgery were selected from Wendeng People's Hospital in Weihai.They were randomly divided into a control group(50 cases,using conventional single-hole rubber irrigation drainage)and an observation group(50 cases,using continuous double-lumen irrigation drainage at constant temperature).The inflammatory and immune indicators of the two groups were compared after different interventions,and the specific conditions of abdominal infection were statistically analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference in inflammatory indicators between the two groups before intervention(P>0.05).After the intervention,the inflammatory indicators of the observation group were significantly lower(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in immune function indicators between the two groups before intervention(P>0.05).After intervention,the immune function indicators of the observation group showed significant improvement(P<0.05).The control of abdominal infection in the observation group was better than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Continuous double-lumen rrigation drainage at constant temperature has a better effect on controlling abdominal infection after surgery,improving the infection condition,and enhancing the immune function of patients.

Clinical Analysis of Lumbar Pool Drainage Combined with Antibiotics in the Treatment of Intracranial Infection

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of lumbar pool drainage combined with antibiotics in the treatment of patients with intracranial infections, and to provide a reference basis for clinical treatment. Methods: To collect and select patients admitted to the First People’s Hospital of Jingzhou City for craniotomy from January 2016 to June 2022, the infected were 20 cases, and continuous drainage of the lumbar pool was used under the premise of systemic application of sensitive antibiotics. Results: Twenty cases in this group were discharged cured. Conclusion: Lumbar pool placement drainage combined with systemic application of antibiotics for intracranial infection is a safe and effective treatment method.
