Abstract
Triaxial monotonic and cyclic loading tests were conducted on typical sandy mudstone samples under different confining pressures. The samples were obtained from the Liujiacun tunnel in the Chuxiong section of the Central Yunnan Water Diversion Project. The strength and deformation characteristics of sandy mudstone were analyzed. Moreover, the damage parameters were introduced in the analysis process. Based on the mechanical behavior characteristics of sandy mudstone, a coupled elastoplastic damage model with the modified Drucker-Prager criterion was proposed. In addition, an elastoplastic damage coupling correction algorithm was also proposed to introduce the mechanical behavior of sandy mudstone. Finally, there is a good agreement between the experimental data and numerical simulation results. The coupled elastoplastic damage model with the proposed algorithm could accurately describe the mechanical behavior of sandy mudstone.
期刊介绍:
Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:
• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;
• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;
• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;
• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;
• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
