Abstract
The mechanical properties of the frozen sand–structure interface plays a crucial role in determining the overall mechanical behavior of building structural systems. The analysis of the normal mechanical characteristics at the frozen interface is limited, and existing constitutive models fail to account for the influence of these normal mechanical properties. This paper first investigates the variations in shear stress and normal displacement of the frozen sand–concrete interface (FSCI), considering the effects of temperature and initial normal stress under constant normal height boundary condition. The critical state theory in geomechanics is then applied to describe the mechanical behavior of the FSCI. Additionally, within the framework of the bounding surface plasticity constitutive model of soil–structure interface developed by Saberi (2017, 2019) and Lashkari (2012, 2013), this study introduces the pore ice isothermal compression coefficient to simulate the variation in normal displacement during the shear process. The modified constitutive model is capable of capturing the shear dilatancy, strain softening, and stress path dependency of the frozen interface.
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.
