Their behaviour is different from \"classic\" soils due to the structure resulting from the geological formation processes, which can eventually undergo degradation under static and cyclic loads, with a decrease in both stiffness and strength. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the behaviour of weakly bonded residual soil in the face of loading and unloading cycles using field plate load tests. Preliminary field and laboratory tests were carried out to characterize the residual soil at the experimental site. The monotonic and cyclic plate load tests - with circular and square plates – were performed under three different load amplitudes. The results showed no shape effect of the loaded area for both monotonic and cyclic loading, considering the same loading pattern. Also, there is a threshold load, which indicates a yielding point and a change in soil behaviour and can be estimated from simple laboratory tests. Below this load, the residual soil presented a rigid behaviour even when subjected to cyclic loads.","PeriodicalId":54572,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Geotechnical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80475078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results of load tests around the world were gathered and collated into a database CYCU/RockSocket/50 for the assessment. Each of the applied interpretation criteria was then evaluated and compared with one another and with the results of the interpretations of drilled shafts in varying soil conditions and post-grouted drilled shafts. To further assess the behaviour of drilled shafts socketed into rocks, interpreted side and end bearing resistances were also determined. The mean interpreted capacities and displacements were higher for drilled shafts socketed into rocks when compared to drilled shafts in soils, but are at comparable ranges with tip post-grouted drilled shafts. On this basis, recommendations regarding specific interpretation criteria, which are advantageous for design displacement requirements under 12 mm for serviceability and displacements on the range of 53 mm to 71 mm for ultimate limit states, were established. Finally, behavioural assessments of the normalized load-displacement curves were extensively done using hyperbolic equations to test their effectivity to CYCU/RockSocket/50.","PeriodicalId":54572,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Geotechnical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89290687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tunnel construction methods and karst disposal measures are also particularly important. It is an engineering problem that needs to be solved urgently to ensure the safe passage of the tunnel under airport taxiways without suspension. Taking the intercity railway tunnel under the taxiways T3 and T4 of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport as the research object, this study carried out theoretical analysis and field test on Karst Treatment Measures and surface settlement control measures. The Karst Treatment Measures under different condition and the \"Pile Supporting Plate\" structure system are proposed to support the taxiway. The effect of the system is analyzed by numerical method, and the on-site surface settlement is monitored. The research results shows that the maximum settlement of T3 and T4 taxiway surface monitored on site are 5.90mm and the differential settlement is 0.12‰. The numerical simulation results are similar to this value, and do not exceed the settlement control standard of taxiway. Through the research, the key technologies for the construction technique of tunnels under airport taxiway of airport taxiway under tunnel in karst area and upper soft and lower hard strata are is formed, the karst disposal measures for tunnel construction in karst areas is summarized and the \"pile support plate\" protection system for ground settlement control when tunnels under pass the airport without suspension is proposed ,which can provide reference for similar projects.","PeriodicalId":54572,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Geotechnical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83306723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In-situ axial loading tests were conducted to study the load transfer and deformation mechanisms of a HS strut with double splay supports. The monitoring results indicate that the outer splay support withstands the most lateral earth pressure (48.5%), followed by the inner splay support (35.6%) and BC segment of end support (15.9%). The safety redundancies of strength and stability for the outer and inner splay supports, AB and BC segments of end support are all larger than 1.59. The axial deformations of the middle support and the whole strut tend to increase linearly with the loading process. Using the monitored total load of hydraulic jacks, the value of KT″ of the whole strut is estimated to be 158∼189 MN/m. The modified value of KT″ (KT″ba/S) of the whole strut is 2.2∼2.6 MN/m. It is close to the lower limit of the suggested range (2.5∼3.5 MN/m) in the Chinese standard.

In agreement with classical solutions, the results indicate that in T mode, passive earth pressure distribution is substantially hydrostatic with depth for all wall displacement stages. However, when the mode of rotation either RT or RB is considered, a clear non-linear distribution highly affected by wall displacement magnitude is noticed. For RT mode, due to arching effect, the increase of the earth pressure behind the lower half of the wall is more pronounced with wall displacement affecting hardly the centroid of the passive load distribution located bellow the common one-third of the wall height. In RB mode, as the wall rotation progresses, the passive earth pressure mobilized in upper part of the wall increases and its distribution gradually changes from nonlinear to linear distribution. Compared with previous experimental results available in literature, mobilized passive earth pressure in RB and RT modes needs more displacement than T mode.","PeriodicalId":54572,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Geotechnical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78673738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifteen miniature cricket pitches were prepared using the conventional procedure, natural grassroots, and geotextile roofing felts combined with varying fine sand and bentonite clay proportions. The rebound ball height and ground penetrometer resistances were measured with a designed bounce meter and pocket penetrometer respectively. In addition, properties of the pitch soils such as crack width, moisture content and field densities were measured. The results of the test programme indicated that the pitch with the geotextile crack-control system provided a higher coefficient of restitution and penetrometer resistance than the other two systems. Furthermore, the test results suggested that the clay content should be kept between 50% to 65 % under a geotextile roofing felt to reduce significant growth of crack widths for a good cricket pitch. Finally, several correlation equations are proposed relating the restitution coefficient and penetrometer resistance with the index and physical properties of pitch soil for use in pitch characterisation.","PeriodicalId":54572,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Geotechnical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74928465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the realm of 3D kinematic limit analysis theorem, this paper presents a semi-analytical method to quantify the suction impact in the stability assessments of stepped excavation slopes. The influences of surcharge load and seismic excitation are both considered from a kinematic perspective. Numerical experiments were conducted regarding the roles of soil suction, 3D effect, surcharge loads and seismic actions in the safety assessments. An example is presented to show the practical use of this method in engineering practice with respect to the determination of the optimum shape of a stepped excavation slope that characterized with fixed slope toe and slope crest positions. The results demonstrate that the stability of stepped excavation slopes can be improved by 10% ∼ 25% compared with those of single-stage slopes and the optimum depth coefficient (αopt) falls in 0.55 ∼ 0.7 for most cases. For steeper excavation slopes, αopt might exceed this range, while for gentler slopes, αopt tends to be smaller than this range. The critical slip surface and the 3D effect tends to be more pronounced as the surcharge load increases.","PeriodicalId":54572,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Geotechnical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75094638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But sometimes, this software has many limitations and cannot be used directly for finding out the strength and deformation behavior of rock joints when joints are subjected to external load because of the construction of different projects. Correct prediction of strength and deformation behavior of rock joints are important for safe, economical, and sustainable design. In the present work, strength and deformation behavior of unfilled and infilled rock joints have been studied numerically by using one of the commercial software Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC) under different boundary conditions like constant normal stiffness (CNS) and constant normal load (CNL) boundary conditions. The numerical model results are compared with experimental results of the test performed on a physical model. The strength predicted by the numerical model is in close agreement with experimental results at low initial normal stress and for CNL boundary conditions, as the asperity degradation during shearing process is almost same throughout the test. The numerical model cannot correctly predict the shear strength of rock joints under CNS boundary conditions and at high normal stress for both CNL and CNS conditions, because of the degradation in the asperity during shearing process and available model dosenot consider this effect. Hence, UDEC code has been modified in the present study for its acceptability under both CNL and CNS boundary conditins and at high initial normal stress at CNL boundary conditions. A comparison of predicted value with experimental results indicated most of the prediction lies in the prediction bend of 95%.","PeriodicalId":54572,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Geotechnical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74746268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
