This design merges the benefits of both gravity anchors and suction caissons. Centrifuge model tests adopting only half of each anchor were carried out to study their bearing performance in sand. Additionally, particle image velocimetry (PIV) analyses were performed to monitor anchor movement and soil displacement. As supplementary data, numerical simulations with an advanced hypoplasticity model were also conducted to reveal the anchor capacity mobilisation mechanism. Findings indicate that the novel CGA possesses a significantly higher bearing capacity compared to standalone caisson or plate designs. By adding a plate above the caisson and increasing its weight, the anchor failure modes may shift from forward rotation to translational movement. Additionally, this adjustment may transition the brittle failure to a more reliable ductile failure. This augmented capacity of the CGA stems from the expanded soil mobilisation region and increased soil stress level in front of the caisson. The proposed CGA provides a promising solution for shared anchors in floating wind farms.","PeriodicalId":508398,"journal":{"name":"Géotechnique","volume":"112 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141360964","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}

This study investigates the susceptibility of interaction energy-induced suffusion in sand-clay mixtures through laboratory-scale two-dimensional flow cell. The filtrated clay during the injection was measured at three outlets to assess the gravity and reattachment effects as a function of clay type (kaolinite, illite, and bentonite) and sand grain size. It was found that the settling of detached clay particles and the reattachment effect during their transport through the sand medium is a strong function of the swelling potential of clay and the size ratio between sand and clay. In addition, observed particle size distributions of clay at the outlet demonstrated that the relatively small and large clay particles are susceptible to suffusion for non-swelling and swelling clay respectively. The comparison of total filtrated clay between two-dimensional flow cell and the typical soil-column experiments (one-dimensional flow) revealed a high chance of underestimating suffusion using soil-column experiments to assess the suffusion of sand-clay mixtures.","PeriodicalId":508398,"journal":{"name":"Géotechnique","volume":"119 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141361969","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}

This ‘constrained continuum formulation’ can be considered an extension of the original ‘two-stage’ elastic-continuum method, which traditionally neglects the mutual influence of the pipeline on the tunnel and vice versa. The new approach retains the advantage of using the greenfield condition as an input, but it allows closed-form consideration of the stiffening effect of the tunnel on the soil domain. The paper details the formulation and, then, provides an investigation into the effect of varying fixities: namely, both as ‘wished-in-place’ tunnels and as evolving, advancing constraints, with the tunnel “construction”. Normalised solutions are presented and compared with the previous formulation. In general, the addition of tunnel constraints leads to a stiffer soil action and, thus, higher bending stressing in the pipeline: modelling of the tunnel kinematic constraint is conservative. The question of when such analysis is desired is discussed, concluding with a simple-to-use inequality suitable for design.","PeriodicalId":508398,"journal":{"name":"Géotechnique","volume":"32 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140966624","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, recent instances of anomalous thermal pressure in consolidating backfill have raised growing concerns over the current design philosophy. This study demonstrates that the excellent hydraulic sealing and considerable chemical energy inherent in cemented backfill can spontaneously generate substantial thermal pressurization through constrained pore-fluid expansion. An analytical solution is hence developed for characterizing the non-isothermal behaviour of hydrating backfill based on classical thermo-poroelasticity. The influence of preparation condition and mix design on the pressure evolution in time domain and during spontaneous heat generation is then thoroughly examined, successfully pinpointing the causal mechanism responsible for typical thermal pressure anomalies. It is demonstrated that the anomalous pressure is attributable to both the conservative binder usage, which increases the intrinsic heat load, and the elevated initial temperature, which promotes water volume expansion. The fundamental influence of temperature-sensitive water expansivity on the path dependence of thermal pressurization is also elucidated. This study thus contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the thermally correlated pressure anomalies that frequently occur in field operations. These critical findings would also hold practical implications for designing successful backfill solutions in challenging mine environments.","PeriodicalId":508398,"journal":{"name":"Géotechnique","volume":"61 51","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140972095","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}

Through the discrete element method (DEM) simulations on granular samples composed of these non-spherical clumps, the effect of particle shape on the macroscopic mechanical response and microscopic soil fabric evolution is examined for soil assemblies under triaxial compression. Simulation results indicate that materials with more irregular particles tend to show higher shear resistance in both peak and critical states, while exhibiting higher void ratio under isotropic loading conditions and in the critical state. The proposed critical state parameters for describing the sensitivity of the mean coordination number to confining pressures are larger as particles become more irregular. At a microscopic level of observation, directional and scalar parameters of particle contacts are sensitive to predefined particle asperities. More irregular materials appear to exhibit higher fabric anisotropy regarding particle orientation in the critical state, while branch vector is affected by both contact modes and particle shape. The critical stress ratio from the simulation results is validated by comparing with experimental results, and further found to be linearly linked to the shape-weighted fabric anisotropy indices.","PeriodicalId":508398,"journal":{"name":"Géotechnique","volume":"22 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140358932","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}
