In terms of cumulative surficial horizontal displacements, the HSsmall underestimates the field measurements by 21.2% at the end of the first year, while that based on MC exhibits a 32.8% overestimation. Moreover, the initialization procedure clearly affects the cumulative surficial horizontal displacements results obtained with both the HSsmall and MC models for the second year.

Analyzing the impact of only single-layer spatial variability on piping development, especially during the initial uplift stage, may not adequately capture the complexities of actual conditions. To address this, this paper proposes a general framework that can be used to generate both single-layer or two-layer random field models. The Karhunen-Loève (K-L) series expansion method has been refined to generate two independent random fields, thereby facilitating the characterization of spatial variability in both the upper and lower soil layers. Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is employed to generate realizations of the random fields, which are then incorporated into numerical models to evaluate the effects of spatial variability on the whole process of BEP. The results show that single layer models tend to overestimate or underestimate the probability of piping initiation. The stage of backward erosion is influenced by the spatial variability of the upper and lower layered soil parameters. The single-layer random field model has a tendency to overestimate the probability of slope failure. In addition, the results of several stability analyses under the effects of extreme rainfall and upstream water level rise show that the probability of slope failure increases significantly during this process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55217,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Geotechnics","volume":"184 ","pages":"Article 107244"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143834561","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}

The model incorporates subcritical crack growth and time-dependent damage evolution constitutive laws into the microplanes. By following the trend of subcritical crack growth observed in previous studies, the model accurately captures the time-dependent propagation of virtual cracks. The cooperative interaction between strain and damage evolution on the microplanes ultimately leads to localized material degeneration over extended time. Moreover, this model effectively characterizes the temporal and spatial distribution of damaged elements during time-dependent deformation and fracturing of brittle rock. The numerical simulations successfully replicate phenomena observed in laboratory experiments performed on brittle rock. Specifically, they demonstrate how different stress levels influence creep strain rate and time-to-failure. Additionally, the simulations reveal that the microscale interaction of potential cracks (microplanes) can effectively describe the complex macroscopic time-dependent behavior of brittle rock. As a result, it becomes possible to predict time-to-failure and rupture patterns using the calibrated model based on laboratory tests.

Previous studies on this have primarily been based on continuum mechanics.

This study employs the coupled large eddy simulation (LES) and coarse-grained discrete element method (CGDEM) to conduct a detailed simulation of the local scour evolution around a vertical circular pile under unidirectional steady flow from a microscopic perspective, in which three flow intensities are considered in the simulation. It is found that as the flow intensity increases, the difference in scour depth upstream and downstream of the pile diminishes. Initially, the scour upstream of the pile is jointly controlled by scouring at the pile toe and soil erosion on the top slope surface, while it is dominated by pile toe scour in the later stage. The pile toe scour is associated with the multiple horseshoe vortices (HVs) upstream of the pile; the “NASA wall-mounted hump” downstream of the pile restricts further migration of the deposited sediment; an “unstable particles cluster” is formed on the sides of the pile, creating a preferential scour path. Particles upstream of the pile undergo a sequence of slow motion upstream, complex flow around the pile, accelerated movement downstream, and deposition, while particles on the sides of the pile experience slowly settling, accelerated motion, and deposition.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the internal void ratio and particle morphological parameters using X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of CS particles with a particle size of 0.5–1 mm. A unique particle-tray mould was designed using 3D printing to avoid over segmentation of images of the watershed segmentation algorithm during 3D reconstruction and to guarantee scanning accuracy. The mould was made of an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin with a density that differed significantly from that of the CS, which also facilitated threshold segmentation in 3D reconstruction. In addition, an ambient occlusion algorithm was adopted to compute the surface-connected voids and surface recesses of the CS. Based on the internal void characteristics, CS particles were classified into three types: solid, distributed, and spiral. A random selection of 100 particles from each type was analysed to determine the internal void ratio and morphological parameters. The results indicated that spiral-type CS particles exhibited the highest internal void ratio, followed by distributed-type CS particles, whereas solid-type CS particles had the lowest internal void ratio. Distributed-type CS particles appeared in plate-like or flattened forms, spiral-type CS particles were elongated, and solid-type CS particles displayed significant variability in their shape distribution. Furthermore, no significant correlation was observed between the internal void ratio and particle morphological parameters such as elongation, flatness, or aspect ratio. However, a strong correlation was observed between the internal void ratio and sphericity, convexity, and <em>3D</em> shape angularity group indicator (<em>SAGI</em>). Both the sphericity and convexity decreased with increasing internal void ratio, whereas <em>3D-SAGI</em> increased as the internal void ratio increased.

Numerous joints developed internally during their geological formation, leading to their fragmentation in motion and affecting trajectory and accumulation range, thereby increasing the hazard uncertainty. There are few studies on the fragmentation of jointed rockfalls, and only some focus on the influence of terrain, impact angle, and material properties on rockfall failure with continuous mechanics and extended finite element methods. However, very few analyses of the fragmentation mechanism of 3D jointed rockfall are from the perspective of discontinuous medium mechanics. Based on the indoor experiments to acquire the calculation parameters and consider the fracture character, we use the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to establish an impact model of rockfall with pre-existing joints to address these. We conduct numerical impact tests on samples containing joints of varying lengths, inclinations, thicknesses, and positions. By proposing the volume fragmentation ratio and number of main fragments and calculating them, monitoring changes in crack propagation events, acoustic emission events, impact force, and energy, the study investigates the specific effects of joints on the impact fragmentation of samples. The results indicate that the Discrete Element Method with parameters corrected by fracture tests can realistically simulate the three-dimensional fragmentation of jointed rockfall under actual conditions, solving the problem of stress concentration at the crack tip in Finite Element analyses. The geometric parameters and spatial position of the pre-existing joint largely determine the fragmentation of rockfall and the shape of blocks after disintegration, significantly impacting the impact force and the kinetic energy of the bouncing stone. Among them, joint inclination and length greatly influence the overall fragmentation of rockfall. In contrast, the position of a side or centered joint notably influences the micro-cracks and local damage on the contact area of rockfall, and joint thickness close to the maximum radium of calculation particle affects fragmentation significantly.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55217,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Geotechnics","volume":"184 ","pages":"Article 107270"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143823257","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}
