Monopiles have been by far the most common support structure for offshore turbines. They have always been an appropriate solution for complex site conditions. Design of monopiles is usually based on the use of nonlinear p-y curve. These curves are primordially based on the use of simple constitutive models for soil, such as Tresca criterion. Since soil behavior is highly non-linear and very complex, fundamental features of soil such as anisotropy, creep, or destructuration have to be taken into consideration. Accordingly, it is necessary to consider more complex soil behavior constitutive models. This work aims to explain, via FEM simulations, the influence of different constitutive laws for soil, on the laterally loaded pile responses. Tresca, Mohr-Coulomb criteria and Modified Cam-Clay model have been compared and their effect on p-y curve is analyzed.

Silo, a very popular structure in powder and mining industry, is a vertical container with an open outlet at the bottom and an optional inlet at the top. The design of silo requires a deep understanding of stress distribution at boundaries in both static and dynamic condition. Prior numerical studies use Finite Element Method or Finite Difference Method which shows an increase of vertical stress before it is leveled out by friction at a shallow depth. This is understandable for continuous media because the settlement caused by vertical stress must stop at some level. Nevertheless, experimental studies show that the vertical stress of the granular and porous media still increases with a constant rate even at a much greater depth. Although the Discrete Element Method (DEM) can simulate granular materials, it has some difficulties in determination of stress distribution because it is based on contact force, not the stress. This paper employs DEM with sphero-polyhedra shapes to simulate the behaviour of granular materials in silos. The stress distribution is calculated as average values. This requires a significant number of particles. Therefore, the paper focuses on narrowly graded materials. Some correlation with experimental data has been found.

A numerical analysis was performed simulating the deep excavation and dewatering effects on retaining walls of an unsymmetrical railcar unloading pit and trench. The pit has a depth of 22 meters and an internal diameter of 45 meters. The trench is non-collinear with the pit center and it has 12 m width by 122 m length. A 3D Finite Element Model using PLAXIS software was conducted in order to better estimate both general and local effects in the design of the pit’s structural elements, mainly due to the singularities introduced by the trench opening on the west side of the pit wall, as well as the trench excavation. Both geotechnical and hydrogeological characteristics of the site were taken into consideration, as well as the main construction stages, covering the excavation sequence and the groundwater inflow analysis.

Predicting accurately the response of sands to cyclic loads is as relevant as still challenging when many loading cycles are involved, for instance, in relation to offshore or railway geo-engineering applications. Despite the remarkable achievements in the field of soil constitutive modelling, most existing models do not yet capture satisfactorily strain accumulation under high-cyclic drained loading, nor the the build-up of pore pressures under high-cyclic undrained conditions. Recently, bounding surface plasticity enhanced with the concept of memory surface has proven promising to improve sand ratcheting simulations under drained loading conditions (Corti et al. 2016). This paper presents a new model built by combining the memory surface conceptby Corti et al. (2016) with the well-known SANISAND04 bounding surface formulation proposed by Dafalias and Manzari (2004). The outcome is a new sand model that can reproduce phenomenologically the fabric evolution mechanisms governing strain accumulation under long-lasting loading histories (here up to 104 loading cycles). In undrained test simulations, the model proves capable of correctly capturing the rate of pore pressure accumulation, preventing precocious occurrence of cyclic liquefaction.
当涉及许多加载周期时,例如与海上或铁路地球工程应用相关时,准确预测砂土对循环荷载的响应仍然具有挑战性。尽管在土本构建模领域取得了显著成就,但大多数现有模型尚未令人满意地捕捉高循环排水荷载下的应变积累,也没有捕捉高循环不排水条件下孔隙压力的积累。最近,记忆表面概念增强的边界面塑性已被证明有望改善排水加载条件下的砂棘轮模拟(Corti et al. 2016)。本文将Corti等人(2016)提出的记忆面概念与Dafalias和Manzari(2004)提出的SANISAND04边界面公式相结合,建立了一个新的模型。结果是一种新的砂模型,可以再现长期加载历史(这里多达104个加载周期)下控制应变积累的织物演化机制。在不排水试验模拟中,该模型能够正确地捕捉孔隙压力积累速率,防止循环液化的过早发生。
