Bearing capacity of foundation on slope determined by energy dissipation method and model experiments

To determine the ultimate bearing capacity of foundations on sloping ground surface in practice, energy dissipation method was used to formulate the bearing capacity as programming problem, and full-scale model experiments were investigated to analyze the performance of the soil slopes loaded by a strip footing in laboratory. The soil failure is governed by a linear Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion, and soil deformation follows an associated flow rule. Based on the energy dissipation method of plastic mechanics, a multi-wedge translational failure mechanism was employed to obtain the three bearing capacity factors related to cohesion, equivalent surcharge load and the unit gravity for various slope inclination angles. Numerical results were compared with those of the published solutions using finite element method and those of model experiments. The bearing capacity factors were presented in the form of design charts for practical use in engineering. The results show that limit analysis solutions approximate to those of model tests, and that the energy dissipation method is effective to estimate bearing capacity of soil slope.

Vertical bearing capacity of pile based on load transfer model

The load transfer analytical method is applied to study the bearing mechanism of piles with vertical load in this paper. According to the different hardening rules of soil or rock around the pile shaft, such as work-softening, ideal elasto-plastic and work-hardening, a universal tri-linear load transfer model is suggested for the development of side and tip resistance by various types of soil (rock) with the consideration of sediment at the bottom of the pile. Based on the model, a formula is derived for the relationship between the settlement and load on the pile top to determine the vertical bearing capacity, taking into account such factors as the characteristics of the stratum, the side resistance along the shaft, and tip resistance under the pile tip. A close agreement of the calculated results with the measured data from a field test pile lends confidence to the future application of the present approach in engineering practice.

H-M Bearing Capacity of A Modified Suction Caisson Determined by Using Load-/Displacement-Controlled Methods

This paper presents a series of monotonically combined lateral loading tests to investigate the bearing capacity of the MSCs （modified suction caissons） in the saturated marine fine sand. The lateral loads were applied under load- and displacement-controlled methods at the loading eccentricity ratios of 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5. Results show that, in the displacement-controlled test, the deflection-softening behavior of load-deflection curves for MSCs was observed, and the softening degree of the load-deflection response increased with the increasing external skirt length or the decreasing loading eccentricity. It was also found that the rotation center of the MSC at failure determined by the load-controlled method is slightly lower than that by the displacement-controlled method. The calculated MSC capacity based on the rotation center position in serviceability limit state is relatively conservative, compared with the calculated capacity based on the rotation center position in the ultimate limit state. In the limit state, the passive earth pressures opposite the loading direction under load- and displacement-controlled methods decrease by 46% and 74% corresponding to peak values, respectively; however, the passive earth pressures in the loading direction at failure only decrease by approximately 3% and 7%, compared with their peak values.

Depth factors for undrained bearing capacity of circular footing by numerical approach

The undrained vertical bearing capacity of embedded foundation has been extensively studied using analytical and numerical methods.Through comparing the results of a circular embedded foundation in the literature,a significant difference between the bearing capacity factors and depth factors is observed.Based on the previous research findings,numerical computations using FLAC code are carried out in this study to evaluate the undrained bearing capacity of circular foundations with embedment ratios up to five for different base and side foundation roughness conditions.Unlike the foundation base,the roughness of the foundation side has a significant effect on the bearing capacity.The comparison of the present results with numerical studies available in the literature shows that the discrepancy is related to the procedures used to simulate the foundation side interface conditions and to the estimation of the bearing capacity.

Experimental research on ultimate bearing capacity of grouted-round-steel-tube N-joint

As an important structural member in self-supporting concrete floor during construction,encased steel truss-concrete composite beam has brilliant prospect in outer-jacketing structures for adding stories or mega frame structures.Compared with encased angle truss,encased round steel tube truss can facilitate layout of itself in column and facilitate layout and anchorage of prestressed reinforcement placed horizontally.N-joint is wildly used in encased steel truss.For cave-in failure easily occurs in hollow steel-tube joint,the idea that the chord is grouted to increase cave-in bearing capacity of hollow tube is proposed.Test results of 8 grouted-round-steel-tube N-joints from the beginning of loading to failure are reported.Mechanical property and failure mode of this kind of truss joint are analyzed,and the formulas of ultimate bearing capacity of the joint corresponding to different failure modes are established.All these can provide basic data for spreading encased steel truss-concrete composite beam.

Numerical and experimental analyses for bearing capacity of rigid strip footing subjected to eccentric load

A footing may get an eccentric load caused by earthquake or wind, thus the bearing capacity of footing subjected to eccentric load become a fundamental geotechnical problem. The conventional limit equilibrium method used for this problem usually evaluates the material properties only by its final strength. But the classical finite element method(FEM) does not necessarily provide a clear collapse mechanism associated with the yield condition of elements. To overcome these defects, a numerical procedure is proposed to create an explicit collapse mode combining a modified smeared shear band approach with a modified initial stress method. To understand the practical performance of sand foundation and verify the performance of the proposed procedure applied to the practical problems, the computing results were compared with the laboratory model tests results and some conventional solutions. Furthermore, because the proposed numerical procedure employs a simple elasto-plastic model which requires a small number of soil parameters, it may be applied directly to practical design works.

Improving Bearing Capacity of Weak Soils:A Review

Weak soils,such as soft clay and loose sand,have a poor bearing capaci­ty,making them incapable of bearing the load of superstructures that will be imposed on them.As a result,engineers must have a solution to the is­sue of poor bearing capacity in weak soils before embanking into building on them.This paper reviewed the use of stone columns,piled rafts,and geogrids for improving the bearing capability of weak soils.Important findings from recent research are also discussed.From the review of the previous researcher’s findings,it was found that modelling approaches such as physical modelling(full scale,centrifuge,laboratory scale)and numerical modelling are used to study bearing capacity improvement.

隧道衬砌裂缝特征对承载力的影响分析

为明确松动荷载作用下,衬砌裂缝特征对结构承载性能的影响,通过1∶10模型试验和数值分析研究了带裂缝结构的受力变形特征、破坏模式和极限承载能力。结果表明:对于预制裂缝长度不超过L/3(试件纵向长度)、深度不超过0.7 H(试件厚度)的试件,裂缝发展存在阶段性特征,试件破坏由拱腰失效引起,属于延性破坏。对于预制裂缝长度不低于2 L/3或深度不低于0.9 H的试件,裂缝发展过程不存在阶段性特征,试件破坏由拱顶失效引起,属于脆性破坏;随裂缝长度和深度增加,结构极限承载力降低。当预制裂缝长度为L/3且深度为0.3 H、0.7 H、0.9 H,以及长度为2 L/3且深度为0.3 H、0.7 H时,试件极限承载力依次为完整试件的86.96%、78.26%、73.91%、69.57%、60.87%。相比于裂缝深度,纵向长度对结构承载性能影响更明显,可作为裂缝评价的重要指标;提出了基于裂缝特征的衬砌承载力预测公式,可明确带裂衬砌的极限承载力,为结构性能评估、加固时机及加固参数的选取提供依据。

基于GBDT算法的基桩竖向承载力预测方法

目的为研究支撑-半刚接钢框架结构体系的抗震性能,方法设计了一榀由嵌套式单边螺栓与T型钢构成的半刚性梁柱节点的中心支撑钢框架,并进行了拟静力试验与有限元数值模拟,通过观测整个试验现象,分析了其滞回、承载力、刚度退化、耗能等抗震指标。结果结果表明:试件破坏过程明显经历了弹性段、塑性段、破坏段三个阶段,试件破坏模式主要为支撑受压失稳破坏,塑性变形主要累积在支撑体系上,整体呈现延性破坏特征;支撑断裂后,梁柱及T型钢节点无明显塑性变形,钢框架仍具有较高的安全储备,符合“强节点、弱构件”设计原则,表明了结构具有两道抗震防线;结论支撑与半刚接钢框架协同工作使得试件具有较高的抗侧刚度抵抗水平变形,且承载力较高、滞回性能稳定、耗能能力优良;单边螺栓在试验过程中的受力性能较普通高强螺栓并无较大差别,未出现严重的预紧力松弛现象,并能高效的保持螺栓预紧力。通过有限元数值模拟分析可知,减小支撑长细比,虽能有效提高结构的抗震性能,但长细比较小会导致支撑刚度增大,加速其余构件的损坏。故应以考虑结构的延性为前提,降低支撑的长细比,才能有效提高结构的抗震性能。
