Abstract

Considering that the dynamic fracture and failure behaviors of frozen soil play a crucial role in the safety and stability of engineering foundations in cold regions, this study aimed to reveal the dynamic tensile mechanical properties and damage failure mechanisms of frozen soil under impact loading. Dynamic Brazilian disk (BD) tests were conducted on frozen soil at different temperatures and loading velocities using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus, followed by numerical simulations using the finite discrete element method (FDEM), focusing on the dynamic tensile deformation characteristics, failure patterns, tensile strength, and energy dissipation mechanisms of the frozen soil. The experimental results indicated that the dynamic tensile mechanical properties of frozen soil were influenced by both temperature and loading velocity. As the temperature decreased and loading velocity increased, the tensile strength of frozen soil significantly increased and showed a linear correlation with the loading velocity. At lower loading velocities, the cracks tended to propagate along the paths of least resistance, forming fewer but longer macrocracks. With increasing loading velocities, the number of cracks markedly increased, and their distribution became more diffuse, leading to a greater extent of failure in the frozen soil. An exponential damage cohesive interface model that considers rate effects was proposed to describe the dynamic tensile fracture mechanical behavior of frozen soil accurately. This model addresses the rate sensitivity of frozen soil and effectively accounts for the temperature effect by considering the volume of ice content and cryogenic suction. A comparison of the FDEM numerical simulation results with the experimental data indicated a good consistency in the overall trends, thus validating the effectiveness and applicability of the FDEM in simulating the dynamic tensile mechanical behavior of frozen soil.

期刊介绍: The use of computers is firmly established in geotechnical engineering and continues to grow rapidly in both engineering practice and academe. The development of advanced numerical techniques and constitutive modeling, in conjunction with rapid developments in computer hardware, enables problems to be tackled that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Computers and Geotechnics provides an up-to-date reference for engineers and researchers engaged in computer aided analysis and research in geotechnical engineering. The journal is intended for an expeditious dissemination of advanced computer applications across a broad range of geotechnical topics. Contributions on advances in numerical algorithms, computer implementation of new constitutive models and probabilistic methods are especially encouraged.
