Based on the overall force balance and moment balance of slope, a unified model of three dimensional limit balance methods is established in this paper. Given different assumptions, the analytical expressions of each traditional model are obtained to avoid the problem of difficult boundary treatment when the original method is divided into bars and columns. The influence of the trailing edge point B and shear outlet A on the central axis of the sliding body, and the control arc radius variable t on the calculated value of the three-dimensional slope stability coefficient is discussed in detail. Then, based on the simulated annealing algorithm, the state generating function, state accepting function and temperature updating function are constructed, and the calculation method of optimizing the sliding surface search of the slope by using the simulated annealing algorithm is proposed, and the stability analysis of the slope of a hydropower reservoir dam area in Guangxi is carried out. The results show that the position of the sliding surface obtained by searching around the design value K = 1.10 is basically consistent with the actual one, which proves that the mechanical analysis method of coupling SA and limit equilibrium is convenient and efficient in the slope stability analysis.","PeriodicalId":45463,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Computational Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46180915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the limit equilibrium theory, this paper proposes a method to calculate the surrounding rock pressure in shallow buried loess tunnels. Firstly, based on the investigation of the damage mode of the loess tunnel surrounding rock and the field measurement results of the surrounding rock pressure, the damage mode of the loess tunnel is proposed, and then a method of calculating the surrounding rock pressure applicable to the shallow buried loess tunnel is derived according to the limit equilibrium condition of the tunnel square soil body and the side wedge; the basic mechanical parameters are known in this method, so only the rupture angle β needs to be determined, and the rupture angle calculation model in the shallow buried loess tunnel is proposed Three assumptions are made in the rupture angle calculation model, and the rupture angle calculation formula is derived according to the stress state on the slip surface of the surrounding rock; the pressure of the surrounding rock in the loess tunnel obtained by this method is compared with four methods, namely, the pressure theory of the surrounding rock in the existing loose body of Taishaki, the pressure formula of the deeply buried surrounding rock in the railroad tunnel design code, the Beer Baumann method, and the Xie Jiayi method, in order to verify the correctness and validity of the calculation method used, and to analyze the influence of different parameters on the surrounding rock pressure. The innovation of this paper lies in the derivation of a method for calculating the pressure in the surrounding rock of a shallow buried loess tunnel using the limit equilibrium theory, and also further proposes a formula for calculating the rupture angle. The pressure of surrounding rock decreases with the increase of static earth pressure coefficient, lateral pressure coefficient, friction angle and cohesion in soil, but the static earth pressure coefficient has a greater influence on the surrounding rock pressure. With the increase of sagittal span ratio, tunnel burial depth and soil weight, the surrounding rock pressure peaked with the increase of tunnel burial depth, and the surrounding rock pressure curve increased first and then decreased.","PeriodicalId":45463,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Computational Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44792881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method changes the method that BP algorithm relies on the guidance of gradient information to adjust the network weights, but uses the characteristics of global search of genetic algorithm to find the most suitable network connection rights and network structure, etc. to achieve the purpose of optimization. Firstly, the deformation mechanism of deep foundation pit is analyzed, its failure mode is summarized, and the calculation method of lateral rock and soil pressure is sorted out according to the code. The theory and characteristics of BP neural network and genetic algorithm are discussed, and the method of using genetic algorithm to optimize BP neural network is proposed to improve the prediction accuracy. In view of the shortcomings of GA-BP neural network prediction model in training sample pretreatment and hidden layer structure design, the optimal normalization interval was determined by correlation coefficient regression analysis, and the analytical expression of the number of neurons in hidden layer was derived by statistical principle, and the value range of the optimal number of neurons in single hidden layer was proposed.

Drawing from viscoelastic theory, we derive the expression of deformation modulus in the frequency domain to analyze the frequency dependence of the shear modulus of rheological soils. We construct a continuous medium dynamics model of the pile-soil periodic structure, taking into account soil rheology, and derive the dispersion equation of shear waves in the periodic structure using the multiple scattering method. The band gap characteristics and parameters that influence the law of shear waves in rheological soil-row pile foundations are studied through the analysis of arithmetic cases. The results show that under the loading condition, the zero-frequency shear modulus of soil is larger than the initial modulus value, and the real part of the shear modulus decreases monotonically with the increase of frequency and finally converges to the initial modulus value; under the unloading condition, the zero-frequency shear modulus of soil is smaller than the initial modulus value, and the real part of the shear modulus increases monotonically with the increase of frequency and finally converges to the initial modulus value; the larger the relaxation time of soil, the faster the convergence rate; the imaginary part of the shear modulus of soil The imaginary part of the soil shear modulus is positive under loading condition and negative under unloading condition, the value of the imaginary part increases and then decreases with increasing frequency and finally converges to 0. The imaginary part reaches the peak at the critical frequency, the larger the relaxation time the smaller the critical frequency, and the peak of the imaginary part is independent of the relaxation time. This study analyzed the dispersion curve of shear waves in a pile-soil periodic structure and found that increasing low-frequency shear wave velocity in rheological soil pile foundation shifts the band gap position to a higher frequency band, resulting in a smaller band gap width than in linear elastic soil. The relaxation time of soil affects the frequency position and width of the band gap, with larger relaxation times resulting in higher frequency positions and smaller widths. Additionally, soil rheology widens the forbidden vibration band gap of the pile periodic structure when the filling rate of the pile foundation is larger.","PeriodicalId":45463,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Computational Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47216537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is important to study the mechanical response of foundations under earthquakes. In this paper, firstly, gravel piles are selected as soft ground improvement materials, and A single bulk material pile section and a peripile soil section within the influence of a single pile are considered as a study unit, and the pore water discharge from the consolidation process is equal to the volume reduction of the unit, considering the consolidation deformation of the pile body, the composite foundation consolidation equation is derived, and the consolidation equation is solved by the separation variable method through the isostrain assumption and initial boundary conditions, and the average superporous water pressure of the soil between the body and the pile is obtained. Then, a more realistic non-uniform ground motion input method is adopted, and the seismic fluctuations are converted into equivalent loads on artificial boundary nodes through the Matlab program, and the equivalent loads are applied to the established viscoelastic artificial boundary by OpenSees software to realize ground motion input. Finally, a mechanical analysis model is established by hypothesis, and with the help of mode orthogonal theory and Hilbert yellow transform, the calculation method of ground seismic mechanical response based on non-uniform ground motion input is obtained.
