In this study, a series of shaking table tests on a pile network composite-reinforced soil high-speed railway subgrade were conducted. Particle image velocimetry was used to analyze the slope motion and sensor data to evaluate the overall dynamic response characteristics of the subgrade. Findings indicate that seismic activity causes subsidence throughout the subgrade, with deformations occurring in three distinct phases depending on the input seismic amplitude from 0.1 to 0.4 g (slow increasing), 0.4 to 0.6 g (faster increasing), and 0.6 to 1.0 g (rapidly increasing). The inclusion of geogrids aids in dissipating seismic energy, thereby reducing the peak acceleration amplification along the elevation. The increased dynamic soil pressure of the subgrade is mitigated by the geogrid reinforcement, which improves local stability. Moreover, the geogrid strain escalated with greater seismic wave amplitudes, resulting in the progressive expansion of the unstable zone from the slope towards the center of the subgrade as the elevation increased.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"342 ","pages":"Article 107769"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ecological slope protection using vegetation has gained increasing attention to mitigate natural disasters in recent years. While numerous studies have demonstrated the contribution of root systems to soil reinforcement, the comprehensive impact of roots on soil mechanical response under rainfall scenarios remains elusive. This study investigates the instability and deformation behaviors of root-reinforced soil through constant shear drained (CSD) tests. The role of root characteristics, including biomass, diameter, and length, in modulating the shear strength, instability and deformation behaviors of soils is investigated. The results indicate that the shear strength and stability of root-reinforced soil, as well as the inhibition effect of root on contractive deformation after the initiation of instability, increasing with greater root biomass and length and smaller root diameter. Moreover, due to the potential weak interfaces, fine or stiff long roots appear to increase the likelihood of volumetric dilation in root-reinforced soil at the later stage of unstable deformation. However, this dilatancy can be effectively resisted by increasing root planting density to form the root network. Furthermore, our experiments suggest that herbaceous vegetation with finer and longer roots is more effective in mitigating static liquefaction of soils induced by rainfall infiltration.

Traditionally, SWCCs are determined through labor-intensive laboratory experiments involving varying levels of suction, a process that can take several months. Moreover, obtaining a high-quality SWCC from numerous measurements becomes particularly challenging when immediate site-specific data are required for design and analysis. This paper introduces a hierarchical Bayesian method for deriving site-specific SWCCs by integrating extremely sparse data (e.g., one or two measurements) for the site of interest with existing data from sites with similar geological and sedimentary characteristics. The SWCC parameters are estimated using a Bayesian framework and Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations. This approach not only enables the derivation of accurate SWCCs but also helps quantify the associated uncertainties. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using both numerical and real-world data from different types of loess and unsaturated soils in the unsaturated soil database (UNSODA). The results show that site-specific SWCCs of unsaturated soils can be accurately estimated from sparse measurements by incorporating information from similar sites.
