Evaluating the safety of piles requires determining the seismic bending moment caused by combined inertial and kinematic interactions, which is challenging. This paper addresses this problem through numerical simulations of piles in different soil sites, considering soil nonlinearity. Results reveal that the period of the soil site significantly affects the interaction among soil, piles, and structures. Bending moments in soft and hard soil sites exceed those in medium soil sites by more than twice. Deformation modes of piles exhibit distinct characteristics between hard and soft soil sites. Soft soil sites exhibit a singular inflection point, while hard soil sites show two inflection points. In soft soil sites, pile-soil kinematic interaction gradually increases bending moment from tip to head, with minor influence from superstructure’s inertial interaction. In hard soil sites, significant inertial effects from soil, even surpassing pile-soil kinematic effects near the tip, lead to reversed superposition bending moment. Superstructure’s inertial interaction notably impacts pile head in hard soil sites. A simplified coupling method is proposed using correlation coefficient to represent inertial and kinematic interactions. These findings provide insights into complex seismic interactions among soil, piles, and structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":12476,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cutting of the cutterhead has negative impact on the formation of filter cake. This study focuses on the formation time of dynamic filter cake considering the filtration effect and rotation of cutterhead. Filtration effect is the key factor for slurry infiltration. A multilayer slurry infiltration experiment system is designed to investigate the variation of filtrate rheological property in infiltration process.

Based on the relative relation between the mass of deposited particles in soil pores and infiltration time, a mathematical model for calculating the formation time of dynamic filter cake is proposed by combining the formation criteria and formation rate of external filter cake. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified through existing experiment data. Analysis results show that filtration coefficient is positively correlated with slurry mass concentration, while negatively correlated with the soil permeability coefficient and the particle diameter ratio between soil and slurry. As infiltration distance increases, the adsorption capacity of soil skeleton to slurry particles gradually decreases. The formation time of external filter cake is significantly lower than internal filter cake and the ratio is approximately 3.9. Under the dynamic cutting of the cutterhead, the formation time is positively associated with the rotation speed of cutter head, while negatively with the phase angle difference between adjacent cutter arm. The formation rate of external filter cake is greater than 98% when <i>d</i><sub>10</sub>/<i>D</i><sub>85</sub> ⩽ 6.1.

However, due to the double-bonded capability of spray membrane materials, traditional interlayer drainage methods cannot be applied. This limitation makes it difficult to use them in drainage-type tunnels, significantly restricting their range of applications. In this regard, a novel tunnel waterproof-drainage system based on double-bonded spray membrane materials was proposed in this paper. The proposed drainage system primarily comprises upper drainage sheets and bottom drainage blind pipes, both located in the tunnel circumferential direction, as well as longitudinal drainage pipes within the tunnel. Subsequently, numerical calculation methods are employed to analyze the seepage characteristics of this system, revealing the water pressure distribution around the tunnel. The results indicate that in the novel waterproof-drainage system, the water pressure in the secondary lining exhibits a “mushroom-shaped” distribution in the circumferential direction, while the water pressure in the longitudinal direction exhibits a “wave-like” distribution. Furthermore, comparative results with other waterproof-drainage systems indicate that under typical working conditions with a water head of 160 m and a rock permeability coefficient of 10<sup>−6</sup> m/s, the maximum water pressure in the secondary lining of the novel waterproof-drainage system is 0.6 MPa. This represents a significant reduction compared to fully encapsulated waterproofing and traditional drainage systems, which respectively reduce the water pressure by 65% and 30%. The applicability analysis of the double-bonded waterproofing and drainage system reveals that it can reduce at least 40% of the static water pressure in any groundwater environments. The novel drainage system provides a valuable reference for the application of double-bonded spray membrane waterproofing materials in drainage-type tunnels.</p>","PeriodicalId":12476,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building materials and components play a vital role in reducing these impacts. However, due to high costs of experimental studies and lack of numerical studies, the heat transfer behavior of building’s external components in bushfire-prone areas has not been adequately investigated. Often large-scale heat transfer models are developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools, and the availability of CFD models for heat transfer in building components improves the understanding of the behavior of systems and systems of systems. Therefore, this paper uses a numerical modeling approach to investigate the bushfire/wildfire resistance of external Light gauge Steel Framed (LSF) wall systems. Both full-scale and small-scale heat transfer models were developed for the LSF wall systems. Experimental results of six internal and external LSF wall systems with varying plasterboard thickness and cladding material were used to validate the developed models. The study was then extended to investigate the bushfire resistance of seven external wall systems under two different bushfire flame zone conditions. The results illustrate the significant effects of fire curves, LSF wall components and configuration on the heat transfer across the walls. They have shown 1) the favorable performance of steel cladding and Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) panels when used on the external side of wall systems and 2) the adequacy of thin-walled steel studs’ load-bearing capacity during bushfire exposures. This study has shown that most of the investigated external LSF walls could be reused with cost-effective retrofitting such as replacing the Fire Side (FS) steel cladding after bushfire exposures. Overall, this study has advanced the understanding of the behavior of external light steel framed walls under bushfire flame zone conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":12476,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
