Abstract

This study aims to explore the significant impact of soil fabric anisotropy on the ultimate bearing capacity of eccentrically and obliquely loaded shallow foundations overlying a geosynthetic-reinforced granular deposit. For this purpose, the well-established lower bound theorems of limit analysis (LA) in conjunction with the finite elements (FE) formulations and second-order cone programming (SOCP) are exploited to perform the bearing capacity estimations. The consideration of the soil mass’s inherently anisotropic response in the granular layer involves the utilization of distinct internal friction angles in various directions. The lower bound FELA framework adopted in this study incorporates both the pull-out and tensile mechanisms of failure in the reinforcement layer. The marked contribution of soil inherent anisotropy to the impacts of ultimate tensile strength (Tu) and embedment depth (u) of the geosynthetic reinforcement on the failure mechanism, bearing capacity ratio (BCR), and failure envelope of the overlying obliquely/eccentrically strip footing is rigorously examined and discussed. It is generally concluded that for a given embedment depth, failure envelopes of the surface footing in both V-H and V-M planes shrink appreciably with the increase in the soil anisotropy ratio as well as the decrease in the geosynthetic ultimate tensile strength. Moreover, the influence of soil inherent anisotropy on the overall bearing capacity of shallow foundations is more evident in the case of using strong reinforcement compared to the weak geosynthetic. The findings of this investigation demonstrate that overlooking the soil inherently anisotropic behaviour in the numerical analysis of shallow foundations would give rise to undesirable non-conservative and precarious designs.

土层结构各向异性对偏心和倾斜荷载下土工合成材料加固地基承载力的影响
本研究旨在探讨土工织物各向异性对土工合成材料加固粒状沉积层上偏心和斜向加载浅层地基极限承载力的重要影响。为此,利用极限分析(LA)的成熟下限定理,结合有限元(FE)公式和二阶锥编程(SOCP)来进行承载力估算。考虑到土体在颗粒层中固有的各向异性响应,需要利用不同方向上的不同内摩擦角。本研究采用的下限 FELA 框架包含了加固层的拉出和拉伸两种破坏机制。土壤固有的各向异性对土工合成材料加固层的极限抗拉强度(Tu)和嵌入深度(u)对上覆斜向/偏心带状基脚的破坏机制、承载力比(BCR)和破坏包络的影响的显著贡献得到了严格的研究和讨论。总体结论是,对于给定的嵌入深度,随着土壤各向异性比的增加以及土工合成材料极限抗拉强度的降低,地表基脚在 V-H 和 V-M 平面上的破坏包络明显缩小。此外,与弱土工合成材料相比,在使用强加固材料的情况下,土壤固有各向异性对浅基础整体承载力的影响更为明显。研究结果表明,在对浅层地基进行数值分析时,如果忽略了土壤固有的各向异性行为,将会导致不理想的非保守和不稳定设计。

期刊介绍: Soils and Foundations is one of the leading journals in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. It is the official journal of the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS)., The journal publishes a variety of original research paper, technical reports, technical notes, as well as the state-of-the-art reports upon invitation by the Editor, in the fields of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and environmental geotechnics. Since the publication of Volume 1, No.1 issue in June 1960, Soils and Foundations will celebrate the 60th anniversary in the year of 2020. Soils and Foundations welcomes theoretical as well as practical work associated with the aforementioned field(s). Case studies that describe the original and interdisciplinary work applicable to geotechnical engineering are particularly encouraged. Discussions to each of the published articles are also welcomed in order to provide an avenue in which opinions of peers may be fed back or exchanged. In providing latest expertise on a specific topic, one issue out of six per year on average was allocated to include selected papers from the International Symposia which were held in Japan as well as overseas.
