Abstract Slope stabilities are mainly designed using the conventional design approach (CDA), where the limit equilibrium methods (LEMs) are performed. Fellenius and Bishop’s simplified methods are the two commonly LEMs adopted as recommended in most design codes. In the design process of CDA, the safety factors (FS) of slopes are checked with specified FSs to ensure stability. The CDA has inherent drawbacks because the design process does not account for uncertainties. Moreover, different LEMs using different assumptions to solve the safety factors might include some amount orders of approximations. This study conducts probabilistic analyses, i.e., Monte Carlo simulations (MCSs) and uncertainty quantification, to obtain insights into the two LEMs applied to clay and sand slopes. The results reveal that the reliability indexes (RIs) obtained from the two LEMs-based MCSs are relatively identical for the same slope. Concerning the soil types, however, the RIs of the clay slope are significantly lower than those estimated for the sand slope, regardless of the LEMs used. The uncertainty quantifications for the clay slopes reveal that the two LEMs have relatively similar bias factors regarding FSs. Nevertheless, using the Fellenius method underestimates the probabilistic safety (about 17% in terms of the mean of FSs) for the sand slope compared to Bishop’s simplified method. Moreover, the coefficients of variation of FS obtained from the clay slope are consistently larger than those from the sand slope. These observations imply that the clay slope is more uncertain than the sand slope, and the Fellenius method results in lower FSs for sand slopes. Therefore, the FSs specified in the design codes should be connected to the soil type or the LEMs used to achieve the same probabilistic safety levels. Finally, the equivalent FSs associated with a RI of 1.75 are derived for each slope and each LEM used.
摘要边坡稳定性设计主要采用常规设计方法(CDA),其中采用极限平衡法(lem)进行设计。费勒纽斯法和毕晓普法是大多数设计规范中推荐采用的两种最常用的lem。在CDA的设计过程中,采用规定的安全系数对边坡进行校核,以保证边坡的稳定性。由于设计过程不考虑不确定性,CDA具有固有的缺点。此外,使用不同假设来求解安全系数的不同lem可能包含一些数量阶的近似。本研究通过概率分析,即蒙特卡罗模拟(mcs)和不确定性量化,来深入了解这两种lem在粘土和砂土边坡中的应用。结果表明,对于相同的坡度,两种基于lems的MCSs得到的可靠度指标(RIs)相对相同。然而,就土壤类型而言,无论使用何种lem,粘土边坡的RIs都明显低于砂质边坡的RIs。对粘土边坡的不确定度量化表明,两种lem在FSs方面具有相对相似的偏差因子。然而,与Bishop的简化方法相比,使用Fellenius方法低估了砂坡的概率安全性(以FSs平均值计算约为17%)。此外,粘土边坡的FS变异系数始终大于砂坡。这些观测结果表明,粘土边坡比砂边坡具有更大的不确定性,并且费伦尤斯方法对砂边坡的FSs较低。因此,设计规范中规定的FSs应与土壤类型或lem相连接,以达到相同的概率安全水平。最后,推导出每个坡度和每个LEM的等效FSs,其RI值为1.75。

Abstract Bearing capacity of reinforced footing clearly depends on the characteristics of interface between geosynthetic and soil. A suitable solution for increasing the bearing capacity is to treat the geotextile surface by various additives. This study reported the results of plate load test on square model footing resting on reinforced sand with and without treated geotextiles to survey the effects of the treatment of geotextile on settlement and bearing capacity. The treated geotextiles were made using additives onto the surface, with a layer of sand located on the top. Geotextile sides were treated in the same way. Different additives including the lime, cement, emulsion, and the effect of the number of layers were considered. The bearing capacity ratio values (BCR), improvement ratio values (IR) and variation of load-settlement ratio obtained from the treated models were presented. The results showed that the treatment of geotextile has a great effect on the behavior of reinforced sand and thus bearing capacity. Also, the test results indicated that lime-treated geotextiles provided better improvement than other additives. The maximum improvement in the bearing capacity of square footing supported on treated geotextiles was found to be 75% compared with the pristine geotextiles.
摘要加筋土基础的承载力明显取决于土工合成材料与土的界面特性。用各种添加剂对土工布表面进行处理是提高土工布承载力的一种合适的解决方案。本文报道了加筋土上加筋土处理和未处理土工布处理的方形模型地基的板载试验结果,考察了土工布处理对地基沉降和承载力的影响。经过处理的土工布是在表面使用添加剂制成的,顶部有一层沙子。土工布侧面也以同样的方式处理。考虑了石灰、水泥、乳化液等不同外加剂以及层数的影响。给出了处理后模型的承载力比值(BCR)、改进比值(IR)和荷载沉降比的变化。结果表明,土工布的处理对加筋砂的性能和承载力有很大影响。试验结果表明,石灰处理土工布的改善效果优于其他添加剂。经过处理的土工布与原始土工布相比,最大限度提高了75%的方基承载能力。

Abstract Loess soils have always been among the most problematic soils, according to engineers. Due to the sensitivity and vulnerability of this soil type, researchers are constantly looking for different solutions to improve and stabilize this soil using different methods. In the present study, a mixture of lime and rice husk ash (LRHA) was used to modify the loess soil of the Golestan province, Iran. Lime and RHA were mixed in a ratio of 2:4 and with different contents of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5% of the dry weight of the soil. To study the effect of curing on the strength properties, the samples were cured and tested for 7, 18 and 28 days. Atterberg limits, modified Proctor, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and scanning electron microscope tests (SEM) were performed. It was found that increasing LRHA content increased the value of UCS at different curing times, such that UCS increased about five times by the addition of 5% LRHA to the loess at the end of 28 days. As the curing time increased, the optimum amount of the additive also decreased. The results showed that combining the soil with LRHA is an effective method for improving and stabilizing loess soil. According to the results of the study, the optimum value of 5% additive is economically and technically recommended.
工程师们认为,黄土一直是问题最严重的土壤之一。由于这种土壤类型的敏感性和脆弱性,研究人员不断寻找不同的解决方案,使用不同的方法来改善和稳定这种土壤。在本研究中,使用石灰和稻壳灰的混合物(LRHA)对伊朗戈列斯坦省的黄土土进行了改性。石灰和RHA按2:4的比例混合,含量分别为土壤干重的2.5、5、7.5、10和12.5%。为了研究固化对强度性能的影响,对样品进行了7、18和28天的固化和测试。进行了Atterberg极限、改良Proctor极限、无侧限抗压强度(UCS)和扫描电镜测试(SEM)。结果表明,随着LRHA含量的增加,不同养护时间下的UCS值均有所增加,在28 d时,添加5% LRHA可使UCS增加约5倍。随着固化时间的延长,添加剂的最佳用量也随之降低。结果表明,土壤与LRHA结合是改善和稳定黄土土壤的有效方法。根据研究结果,在经济上和技术上推荐了5%的最佳添加量。

Abstract For the first time, axial and circumferential (diametral) strains are measured directly on Berea sandstone cylindrical samples at different high temperatures as a function of confining pressure. The maximum compressive principal stress was in the direction perpendicular to the bedding plane. Tri-axial compression tests have been conducted under confining pressures ranging from atmospheric pressure to 12,000 psi “82.73 MPa” (gage), and the temperature was varied from room temperature (RT) to 250°F (121.11 °C). In all the experiments, specimens are dry, and no pore pressure is applied. Uniaxial axial force (100 lbs/min or 444.82 N/min) and strains in the three directions ( $$varepsilon$$ ε 1 , $$varepsilon$$ ε 2 , $$varepsilon$$ ε 3 ) is directly measured from the strain gages mounted on the specimen; hence the study reflects the behavior of the Berea sandstone up to the initiation of the failure only. The experimental observations involving yield, failure, transition from brittle to ductile behavior, and their dependence on temperature and confining pressure are presented. Parameters like ductility and dilatancy (reflecting volumetric behavior before failure) and their variation with temperature and confining pressure are given. The initial yield and failure of Berea sandstone are presented in terms of the generalized von-Mises criteria, i.e., variation of octahedral shear stress ("Image missing") with the mean stress. The loads at yield and failure are found to decrease with increasing temperature and augment with increasing confining pressure. The ductility and dilatancy reduction are computed using measured strains with increasing temperature. With an increase in temperature, the volume decreases first, partly due to the initial closure of micro cracks and voids, then increases due to generation of additional microcracks and voids (damage). There is less volume decrease in the uniaxial test response at higher temperature as compared to the corresponding ambient temperature response. A monotonic increase in the octahedral shear stress at yield and failure is observed with increasing confining pressure.
首次直接测量了不同高温条件下Berea砂岩柱状试样的轴向和周向(直径)应变随围压的变化规律。最大主压应力方向垂直于顺层面方向。三轴压缩试验的围压范围从大气压力到12,000 psi " 82.73 MPa "(计压),温度范围从室温(RT)到250°F(121.11℃)。在所有的实验中,试样都是干燥的,没有施加孔隙压力。单轴轴向力(100磅/分钟或444.82 N/分钟)和三个方向($$varepsilon$$ ε 1, $$varepsilon$$ ε 2, $$varepsilon$$ ε 3)的应变直接从安装在试样上的应变片测量;因此,该研究仅反映了伯里亚砂岩在破坏开始前的行为。给出了屈服、破坏、脆性向延性转变及其对温度和围压的依赖关系。给出了塑性和剪胀等参数(反映破坏前的体积行为)及其随温度和围压的变化规律。Berea砂岩的初始屈服和破坏是用广义的von-Mises准则来表示的,即八面体剪切应力(“图像缺失”)随平均应力的变化。屈服载荷和破坏载荷随温度升高而减小,随围压升高而增大。利用随温度升高的实测应变计算塑性和剪胀减量。随着温度的升高,体积首先减小,部分原因是微裂纹和孔洞的初始闭合,然后由于产生额外的微裂纹和孔洞(损伤)而增大。与相应的环境温度响应相比,较高温度下单轴试验响应的体积减小较小。随着围压的增加,屈服和破坏时的八面体剪应力单调增加。

Abstract This study examined the index properties, strength, and swelling pressure by mixing the Quicklime with five soil samples taken from the Meki-Abossa road section part of the Modjo- Hawassa highway. The main goal of this study was to provide more insight into the effects of Quicklime stabilization on the Atterberg limit like (LL, LP, and PI), OMC, MDD, CBR, and CBR swell percent of subgrade soil along the selected route alignment. Five disturbed samples were collected from the Meki-Abossa Road section to achieve the objectives. The samples were collected using the open pit sampling method with an average 1-1.5 m depth. Laboratory works were carried out for natural sub-grade soil and soil mixed with Quicklime. The natural sub-grade soil was classed as A-7-5 (38) by AASHTO and MH & CH by USCS, with a maximum LL of 75, PI of 41.6, MDD of 1.59, and OMC of 28, with CBR values less than five and CBR swell > 2%. The recommended lime (4%, 6%, and 8%) was mixed with the subgrade material. The result shows that the soil treated with Quicklime 4%, 6%, and 8% improved or lowered the untreated expansive soil plasticity index by 18.5%, 28.9%, and 23.8%, respectively, and increased OMC by 15.2% and reduced MDD by 18.23%. On the other hand, CBR values of the treated soil were increased by an average of 56.9%, with lower swelling potential decreases by 93.3%, higher workability, and stabilized soils were feasible to be used as subgrade material.

Abstract To ensure that public infrastructure can safely provide essential services and support economic activities in seasonal frost regions, the design of their foundation systems must be updated and/or adapted to the impacts of climate change. This objective can only be achieved, if the impact of global warming on the soil thermal behaviour in Canadian seasonal frost regions is well-known and can be predicted. In the present paper, the results of a modeling study to assess and predict the effect of global warming on the thermal regimes of grounds in three Canadian seasonal frost regions (Ottawa, Sudbury, Toronto) are presented and discussed. The results show that future climate changes will significantly affect the soil thermal regimes in seasonal frost Canadian areas. The simulation results indicated a gradual loss in the frost penetration depth due to the climate change, in the three representative sites. The frost period duration will be shorter due to climate change in the three selected regions and will completely disappear in Ottawa and Toronto. However, the impact of climate change would not appear clearly in the first 40 years “up to 2060”. The response of the ground to the effect of climate change is a function of the geotechnical characteristics of the ground and the climate conditions.

为确保公共基础设施能够在季节性霜冻地区安全地提供基本服务和支持经济活动,其基础系统的设计必须更新和/或适应气候变化的影响。这一目标只有在全球变暖对加拿大季节性霜冻地区土壤热行为的影响是众所周知和可以预测的情况下才能实现。本文介绍并讨论了全球变暖对加拿大三个季节性霜冻地区(渥太华、萨德伯里和多伦多)地表热状态影响的模拟研究结果。结果表明,未来气候变化将显著影响加拿大季节性霜冻地区的土壤热状态。模拟结果表明,在三个代表性站点,由于气候变化,霜侵深度逐渐减少。由于气候变化,这三个地区的霜冻持续时间将缩短,渥太华和多伦多的霜冻将完全消失。然而,在“到2060年”的前40年里,气候变化的影响不会明显显现。地面对气候变化影响的反应是地面岩土特性和气候条件的函数。所开发的数值工具和所得结果将为加拿大季节性霜冻地区气候适应性交通结构的岩土工程设计提供参考。

This objective can only be achieved, if the impact of global warming on the soil thermal behaviour in Canadian seasonal frost regions is well-known and can be predicted. In the present paper, the results of a modeling study to assess and predict the effect of global warming on the thermal regimes of grounds in three Canadian seasonal frost regions (Ottawa, Sudbury, Toronto) are presented and discussed. The results show that future climate changes will significantly affect the soil thermal regimes in seasonal frost Canadian areas. The simulation results indicated a gradual loss in the frost penetration depth due to the climate change, in the three representative sites. The frost period duration will be shorter due to climate change in the three selected regions and will completely disappear in Ottawa and Toronto. However, the impact of climate change would not appear clearly in the first 40 years “up to 2060”. The response of the ground to the effect of climate change is a function of the geotechnical characteristics of the ground and the climate conditions. The numerical tool developed and results obtained will be useful for the geotechnical design of climate-adaptive transportation structures in Canadian seasonal frost areas.","PeriodicalId":44851,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geo-Engineering","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135536069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
