Concentrated leak erosion, one of the forms of internal erosion, occurs in cracked fine-grained soils and pressurized flow conditions. To evaluate the concentrated leak erosion risk of cracks/voids, it is necessary to ascertain the erosion resistance of these materials. The erosion rate and critical shear stresses determine internal erosion resistance in concentrated leak erosion. This study determined soil’s concentrated leak erosion resistance using test equipment that allowed the flow to pass through a hole with stress-free (no loading), anisotropic-compression stress, anisotropic-expansion stress, and isotropic stress conditions. The stresses that developed in the samples’ hole wall where erosion occurred were determined with numerical modeling as pre-experimental stress conditions. The experiments were performed under a single hydraulic head on four selected cohesive soils with different erosion sensitivity. Time-dependent flow rates obtained from the test system can be used to determine hydraulic parameters, such as energy grade lines, with the help of basic theorems of pipe hydraulics in theoretical hydraulic models. Moreover, the erosion rates were quantitatively determined using the continuity equation, while critical shear stresses were qualitatively compared for concentrated leak erosion developed by the dispersion mechanism. As a result of the experiments, stress conditions influence the concentrated leak erosion resistance in the soil samples with dispersive erosion. Moreover, the shear strength in the Mohr–Coulomb hypothesis can explain the erosion resistance in these soils under stress conditions depending on the sand/clay ratio.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"19 12","pages":"7967 - 7988"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11440-024-02376-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TSCSV is the governing factor for the complex and uncontrollable flow of slurry in fractures.

Using the fractal function with random parameters (W-M function), a single fracture with random fracture opening (RFO) is drawn, and a theoretical model on grouting diffusion in fractures is established considering the TSCSV. The RFO is corrected for head loss, and the spatiotemporal distribution equation of the RFO grouting pressure is derived. The relationship between grouting pressure, grouting time, and slurry diffusion distance is obtained. Additionally, the effects of the RFO, the fractal dimension of the fracture curve, the horizontal movement distance of the lower end face of the fracture, and the effects of viscosity and grouting rate on the viscosity and grouting pressure in the slurry diffusion space are discussed. Finally, by predefining the spatial distribution function of slurry viscosity for a single fracture in the numerical calculation model, a numerical simulation of random fracture distribution grouting considering viscosity spatiotemporal characteristics is achieved.

Machine learning techniques have been widely applied in recent years to assess landslide susceptibility over regions of interest. However, a number of challenges limit the reliability and performance of machine learning-based landslide models. In particular, class imbalance in the dataset, selection of landslide conditioning factors, and potential extrapolation problems for landslide prediction under future conditions need to be carefully addressed. In this work, we introduce methodologies to address these challenges using XGBoost to train the landslide prediction model. Data resampling techniques are adopted to improve the model performance with the imbalanced dataset. Various models are trained and their performances are evaluated using a combination of different metrics. The results show that synthetic minority oversampling technique combined with the proposed gridded hyperspace sampling technique performs better than the other imbalance learning techniques with XGBoost. Subsequently, the extrapolation performance of the XGBoost model is evaluated, showing that the predictions remain valid for the projected climate conditions. As a case study, landslide susceptibility maps in California, USA are generated using the developed model and are compared with the historical California landslide catalog. These results suggest that the developed model can be of great significance in global landslide susceptibility mapping under climate change scenarios.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"20 1","pages":"475 - 500"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11440-024-02363-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141884481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to clarify and gain an insight into the lateral dynamic response of enhanced pipe piles in unsaturated soil by developing an analytical approach. In the proposed approach, the enhanced pipe pile divides into two parts: The first part is considered as a composite pile formed by a concrete pipe pile and a cement-soil mixing pile through high-strength bonding, and the second part formed by a concrete pipe pile and an unsaturated soil column. The lateral vibration behaviours of the enhanced pipe pile and the unsaturated soil resistance are deduced by the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and the porous viscoelastic theory of three-phase mixture, respectively. The closed-form solutions for the horizontal, rocking and horizontal-rocking dynamic impedances at the pile head of enhanced pipe pile under horizontal dynamic loads have been determined and then validated by comparing with the existing results. Numerical discussions are finally conducted to analysis the influence of physical parameters of enhanced pipe pile and unsaturated soil on the three types of dynamic impedance at the pile head.

Consequently, these alterations in soil fabric induce anisotropic mechanical behavior in unsaturated soils. In this study, an anisotropic model, denoted as ABBM and based on the Barcelona Basic Model (BBM), was implemented into FLAC to analyze the wetting behavior of a typical compacted embankment during infiltration. The research findings indicate that prolonged rainfall durations result in the evolution of the yield surface, consequently amplifying vertical surface displacement. Moreover, as the anisotropic evolution parameter surpasses a defined threshold, the degree of anisotropy diminishes, ultimately resembling the isotropic behavior observed in the Barcelona Basic Model (BBM) due to changes in preconsolidation pressure. The study presents an innovative approach to evaluate embankment performance under rainfall-induced conditions by considering changes in fabric anisotropy relative to the degree of saturation. The results demonstrate that alterations in the degree of saturation lead to rotation of the yield surface, nearly erasing anisotropy upon reaching full saturation. To account for parameter variability, a reliability analysis was performed using the Monte Carlo method, assessing the performance of embankment using different constitutive models, viz, the Mohr–Coulomb model, BBM, and ABBM. Notably, the analysis revealed that embankment failure probabilities simulated using the ABBM exceed those obtained using the Mohr–Coulomb criterion or BBM, suggesting a greater susceptibility to failure in terms of deformations.
