This study explores the erosion performance of bio-cemented sand in a closed-conduit flume system, investigating the effectiveness of EICP in mitigating scour and reducing erodibility. Various parameters such as curing duration, cementation degrees and urease activities are examined to understand their influence on erosion behaviors. Furthermore, the study incorporates the analysis of calcium carbonate content and crystal microstructure to provide a better understanding on the EICP mechanism in scour mitigation. These results highlight the critical role of the interaction between calcium carbonate content and crystal features in determining the effectiveness of erodibility reduction. As the precipitated amount increases, the cemented soil exhibits enhanced hydraulic erosion resistance, with the erosion mode shifting from particle erosion and aggregated detachment to chunk fracture. In other words, the mode of sediment transport essentially is affected by the variations in crystal size, crystal quantities and deposited morphology. Two predictive formulas for threshold Shields parameter and erosion rate are also developed. Notably, the cemented soil could maintain its stability under an elevated flow of 4 m/s under an EICP treatment with 1 M of urea and calcium chloride, and a curing duration of 24 h. These findings are anticipated to serve as a valuable theoretical foundation for engineering applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"19 10","pages":"6955 - 6972"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434907","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}

These SFs are established based on a consistent lab-to-field fatigue failure criterion (i.e. the modulus reduction of CPMs). By accounting for strain differences between laboratory and field scales, SFs are derived in the strain-fatigue life space.

Traditional approaches in geotechnical engineering have relied on specific conduction mechanisms and simplifying assumptions to construct theoretical models for electrical conductivity. This paper adopts a different approach by using machine learning methods to predict the electrical conductivity of clay materials. A reliable dataset was generated using the quartet structure generation set to create random clay microstructures and calculate their electrical conductivity. Based on this dataset, machine learning methods such as least squares support vector machine and backpropagation neural networks outperform theoretical models in terms of prediction accuracy and resistance to interference, with a coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) exceeding 0.995 when unaffected by disturbances. The computation of Shapley values for input features aids in explicating the machine learning model. The results reveal that saturation is a key feature in predicting electrical conductivity, while porosity and constrained diameter are relatively less important. Finally, an already trained model is applied to the one-dimensional electroosmosis-surcharge preloading consolidation theory. The results of the calculations demonstrate that neglecting changes in soil electrical conductivity during electroosmosis can lead to an overestimation of the absolute values of anode excess pore water pressure and soil settlement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"19 10","pages":"6553 - 6568"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434840","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}

Among the various mitigation techniques available, soil reinforcement using dense granular columns can be considered as a very effective technique, and its effectiveness gets further improved by encasing the columns in a geotextile to maintain the integrity of the columns during earthquakes. This paper presents findings from a first-of-its-kind study of simple shear tests on sand reinforced with geotextile-encased granular columns (EGC) to understand the fundamental mechanisms leading to its improved liquefaction resistance and shearing response. The effects of area replacement ratio and grouping action of columns on the overall response are established by performing a series of multi-stage constant volume simple shear tests on unreinforced and EGC-reinforced sands. The area replacement ratio was varied between 4 and 16% in different tests, and the tests with 16% area replacement ratio were conducted on sand with a single column and a group of columns. The particle sizes, encasement tensile strength, and column configurations are carefully chosen to avoid scaling and boundary effects on the test results. The performance of EGCs against liquefaction was evaluated considering all fundamental mechanisms, including the progression of pore pressures, nonlinear hysteretic behaviour, strain energy accumulation, and shear modulus degradation. The potential of EGCs for mitigating the liquefaction and improving the post-liquefaction shear strength of sand was found to improve with the increase in the area replacement ratio. For a specific area replacement ratio, the beneficial effects were more significant when the EGCs were spread into a group of symmetrically placed columns instead of a single column at the centre. The stress concentration on the EGCs due to modulus contrast and additional confinement offered by the EGCs to intervening soil have collectively benefited the shearing response of sand before, during, and after liquefaction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"19 10","pages":"6843 - 6864"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434784","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}

Among them, Picard iteration method with pressure head as the main variable is widely used because of its simplicity and ability to deal with partial saturation conditions. It is well known that the method is prone to convergence failure under some unfavorable flow conditions and is also computationally time-consuming. In this study, the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) of unsaturated soil described by the exponential function is used to linearize the coupling equations to overcome the repeated assembly of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The finite element method with six-node triangular element is used to discretely linearize the coupling governing equations. Further, the classical Gauss–Seidel iterative method (GS) can be used to solve the linear equations generated from the linearized coupling equations. However, the convergence rate of GS seriously restricts the ill-condition of the linear equations, especially when the condition number of linear equations is much larger than 1.0. Thus, we propose an improved Gauss–Seidel iterative methods MP(<i>m</i>)-GSCMGI by combining multistep preconditioning and cascadic multigrid. The applicability of the proposed methods in simulating variably saturated flow and deformation in unsaturated porous media is verified by numerical examples.
