Abstract

During the process of treating soft soil foundations with prefabricated drainage drains (PVD), “soil columns” form around the PVD, and a “weak zone” forms outside the range of the “soil columns.” The difference in properties between the two forms a distinct interface, leading to a gradual decrease in drainage efficiency and obstruction of vertical drainage channels, which in turn causes cracks and lateral displacement in the soil during consolidation. The interfaces between adjacent soil layers are incomplete contact, and the water within the interstices impedes the transfer of heat, manifesting a thermal resistance effect. To address this phenomenon, a synchronous measurement system for the thermal gradient and the heat flux density between the soil interfaces has been developed. Applying Fourier's law of heat conduction, the thermal resistance coefficient has been determined. Based on the theory of thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling, a multi-zone axisymmetric model for saturated soils that considers thermal resistance effect has been proposed. Semi-analytical solutions were derived and validated through comparison with the custom FEM model and field experiments. The thermal consolidation characteristics of the multi-zone soils under various thermal contact models have also been discussed, with a comprehensive analysis of the influence of different parameters. Outcomes show that: the generalized incomplete thermal contact model provides a better description of the thermal resistance phenomenon between multi-zone soils interfaces; ignoring the thermal resistance effect leads to an overestimation of the deformation during the thermal consolidation, and, the thermal resistance effect decreases the influence of the thermo-osmosis effect on the consolidation characteristics.

考虑界面热阻的PVTD改进饱和土固结多区轴对称模型
在预制排水渠处理软土地基的过程中,在预制排水渠周围形成“土柱”,在“土柱”范围外形成“弱区”。两者性质的差异形成了明显的界面,导致排水效率逐渐降低,竖向排水通道受阻,从而导致固结过程中土体出现裂缝和侧向位移。相邻土层之间的界面是不完全接触的,间隙内的水阻碍了热量的传递,表现为热阻效应。为了解决这一现象,开发了一种土壤界面间热梯度和热流密度的同步测量系统。应用傅立叶热传导定律,确定了热阻系数。基于热-水-力耦合理论,提出了考虑热阻效应的饱和土多区轴对称模型。推导了半解析解,并通过与定制有限元模型和现场实验的比较验证了其正确性。讨论了不同热接触模式下多区土的热固结特性,并综合分析了不同参数对多区土热固结特性的影响。结果表明:广义不完全热接触模型能较好地描述多区土界面间的热阻现象;忽略热阻效应会导致热固结过程中变形的高估,热阻效应会降低热渗透效应对固结特性的影响。

期刊介绍: The journal welcomes manuscripts that substantially contribute to the understanding of the complex mechanical behaviour of geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, and powders), through innovative experimental techniques, and/or through the development of novel numerical or hybrid experimental/numerical modelling concepts in geomechanics. Topics of interest include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, multi-physics and other time-dependent phenomena, micromechanics and multi-scale methods, and inverse analysis and stochastic methods. Papers related to energy and environmental issues are particularly welcome. The illustration of the proposed methods and techniques to engineering problems is encouraged. However, manuscripts dealing with applications of existing methods, or proposing incremental improvements to existing methods – in particular marginal extensions of existing analytical solutions or numerical methods – will not be considered for review.
