However, the models adopted have seldom attempted to utilize SPT and CPT data simultaneously. In this study, a side-by-side SPT-CPT database at historical earthquake sites is established; then, a Bayesian network model is constructed to predict the probability of soil liquefaction based on this database, with which the SPT and CPT data are utilized simultaneously. Next, comparative studies are undertaken to illustrate the superiority of the Bayesian network-based probabilistic soil liquefaction model developed over other models, in terms of six SPT- and CPT-based conventional liquefaction models in the literature and two Bayesian network-based models. It should be noted that the liquefaction sites with two in situ tests are scarce and side-by-side SPT-CPT data can be incomplete, which leads to challenges in applying the Bayesian network model developed. To address this problem, correlations between SPT and CPT data are analyzed, and these correlations are further included in the Bayesian network model; as a result, a modified Bayesian network model is reached. Finally, the influence of the proportion of missing data in the incomplete SPT-CPT data on the liquefaction prediction accuracy is discussed.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"34 S15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140422928","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}

However, the test is often difficult to conduct in soils with high penetration resistance. To resolve the problem, a rotary CPT device has recently been adopted in practice by rotating the rod to increase the penetrability, particularly in deep dense sand. This study investigates the underlying mechanism of the rotation effects from a micromechanical perspective using models based on the discrete element method (DEM). With rotation, the cone penetration resistance (qc) decreases by up to 50%, while the cone torque resistance (tc) increases gradually. These results are also used to successfully assess existing theoretical solutions. The mechanical work required during penetration was observed to keep rising as the rotational velocity increased. Microscopic variables including particle displacement and velocity field show that rotation reduces the volume of disturbed soil during penetration and drives particles to rotate horizontally, while contact force chain and contact fabric indicate that rotation increases the number of radial and tangential contacts and the corresponding contact forces, forming a lateral stable structure around the shaft which can reduce the force transmitted to the particles below the cone, thus decreasing the vertical penetration resistance.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"55 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140418348","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 simulations are performed using a Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) FE modeling technique. The pile is penetrated at a constant rate, and the analyses are performed for undrained conditions to simulate the response during penetration. The soil model considers the effects of strain softening and strain rate on the undrained shear strength. The FE calculated results are compared with available analytical and numerical solutions for idealized soil profiles. Simulations are also performed for two instrumented piles previously installed into highly sensitive clay at Saint-Alban in Québec, Canada. The installation-induced changes in stresses, degradation of undrained shear strength, and tip resistance obtained from FE analyses are consistent with the field test results. Large plastic shear strains develop near the pile, which can significantly remould the soil near the pile shaft. A parametric study shows that a quicker post-peak degradation of undrained shear strength of highly sensitive clay creates a smaller zone of high plastic shear strain near the pile, while the plastic zone is wider for low- to non-sensitive clays.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140426170","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 soil-structure interfaces in geothermal structures (e.g., energy pile and energy wall) are often subjected to varying temperature and suction conditions. However, there is no constitutive model to simulate the coupled effects of suction and temperature on the shear behaviour of soil-structure interfaces. In this study, a thermo-mechanical model was newly developed based on the bounding surface plasticity framework to predict the thermo-mechanical behaviour of saturated and unsaturated interfaces. A power function was used to calculate the degree of saturation at the interface and improve the evaluation of suction effects on interface shear strength. A linear relationship between temperature and interface critical state friction angle was proposed to incorporate thermal effects. New equations were also proposed to describe the critical state lines (CSLs) in the void ratio versus stress plane (e-ln⁡σ_n^* ) and to model the shearing-induced deformation at various temperatures and suctions. The experimental data from different interfaces in the literature were used to evaluate the model capability. Comparisons between measured and computed results suggest that this model can well capture the coupled effects of temperature, suction and net normal stress on the shear behaviour of interfaces.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"1 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140426692","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 in this work, the measured temporal response in terms of vertical and horizontal effective stresses and displacements below a tunnel slab at the base of an excavation located in a deep sensitive clay deposit is reported. In addition to the measured unloading response over time, the completeness of the site description and complementary measurements enables future benchmarking of numerical models at boundary and element level. Instrument clusters of earth pressure cells and piezometers were installed at three locations in one cross-section. The monitoring data allows the interpretation of effective stress paths and stress ratios, K=σ'h/σ'v, at soil element level covering the construction and the serviceability stages. The in situ stress ratios enable a unique comparison to prior laboratory studies of K during unloading. The data presented herein on the evolution of K corroborate, although approximately, previous studies at laboratory scale. Furthermore, at system level, the monitoring data reveal the intricate interplay between deformations resulting from excavation and pile driving.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"72 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140439945","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}

Conventional model updating, or calibration, often involves repeated executions of the numerical model, using monitoring data from a specific source or at limited spatial locations only. This leads to a critical research need of real-time model updating and predictions using a numerical model improved continuously by multi-source monitoring data. To address this need, a physics-informed machine learning method called multi-source sparse dictionary learning (MS-SDL) is proposed in this study. Originated from signal decomposition and compression, MS-SDL utilizes results from a suite of numerical models as basis functions, or dictionary atoms, and employs multi-source monitoring data to select a limited number of important atoms for predicting multiple, spatiotemporally varying geotechnical responses. As monitoring data are collected sequentially, no repeated evaluations of computational numerical models are needed, and an automatic and real-time model calibration is achieved for continuously improving model predictions. A real project in Hong Kong is presented to illustrate the proposed approach. Effect of monitoring data from different sources is also investigated.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"53 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140444374","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 underlying micro-mechanics of how particle shape may affect the soil mechanical responses at element scale remains unclear. Systematic micro-mechanical experiments that consider in-situ tracking of the evolution of fabric during the shearing process is missing. Aided by a miniaturised triaxial apparatus and X-ray computed tomography, this study presents a series of triaxial compression on four granular soils with different particle shapes yet the same mineralogy, grading and initial density. Evolution of three-dimensional soil fabric quantifiers during shearing was captured based on 192 full-field CT images. The results revealed that the initial shearing reduced the packing density without changing the particle packing pattern, followed by particle sliding and particle rotation which redistributed the force chains and formed a new packing pattern to resist shearing, causing strain localisation and reductions in both the contact number and concentration of contacts di-rection. Fabric anisotropy increased before reaching the peak and attained the maximum value as the soil approached the critical state. Particle shape, especially when quantified by overall regularity, or other combinations of descriptors, displayed more significant linear cor-relations with critical-state parameters than by local descriptor.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"1 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139957879","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}

However, the impact of the Coriolis effect on the run-out behavior of dry granular flows is not fully understood. In this study, using the discrete element method (DEM), we conducted simulations of dry granular flow both with and without Coriolis (dilative and compressive) conditions to analyze the impact of the Coriolis effect on granular run-out mobility, flow structure, and granular interaction. For unsteady flows, the dilative Coriolis force increased the moving distance of the flow centroid by 60%–70% and increased the maximum kinetic energy by 5%–17%, whereas those parameters were reduced by 30% and 2%–9%, respectively, under compressive Coriolis conditions. Results showed that selecting a lower centrifugal acceleration by reducing the rotational angular velocity in physical modeling is ineffective for realizing a weaker Coriolis effect. This study established that using a larger centrifuge could mitigate the Coriolis effect, but that this outcome became less notable as the centrifugal radius increased. Additionally, we suggest a preliminary relation that could be used to correct the results of experimental granular flow final run-out distance obtained using a geotechnical centrifuge.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"13 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140442798","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 standard drag anchor design approach is based on a deterministic Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) framework that considers characteristic design ‘low’ and ‘high’ estimates of soil strength and other geotechnical parameters, combined with code-specified partial factors. A disadvantage of this approach is that the resulting anchor designs may not achieve a consistent level of reliability. This paper describes a study that addresses this limitation by developing and demonstrating a generalised drag anchor probability of failure analysis framework for inclusion in a Reliability Based Assessment (RBA) of a mooring. A feature of the study is the inclusion of consolidation and cyclic loading effects in the anchor analysis. The study highlights the benefits an RBA approach can offer to the drag anchor design process, including reduced anchor size and preloading requirements, and increased confidence in the anchor design and estimate of anchor performance. For temporarily moored facilities this approach offers the potential to exploit expanded weather windows for operations. For permanently moored floating offshore wind developments this approach may allow adoption of reduced levels of target reliability, thereby reducing costs for systems with a large number of anchors.","PeriodicalId":505159,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"225 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140475882","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}
