STRUCTURAL DAMAGE MODEL OF UNSATURATED EXPANSIVE SOIL AND ITS APPLICATION IN MULTI-FIELD COUPLE ANALYSIS ON EXPANSIVE SOIL SLOPE

Focused on the sensitivity to climate change and the special mechanical characteristics of undisturbed expansive soil, an elastc-plastic damage constitutive model was proposed based on the mechanics of unsaturated soil and the mechanics of damage. Undisturbed expansive soil was considered as a compound of non-damaged part and damaged part. The behavior of the non-damaged part was described using non-linear constitutive model of unsaturated soil. The property of the damaged part was described using a damage evolution equation and two yield surfaces, i.e., loading yield (LY) and shear yield (SY). Furthermore, a consolidation model for unsaturated undisturbed expansive soil was established and a FEM program named UESEPDC was designed. Numerical analysis on solid-liquid-gas tri-phases and multi-field couple problem was conducted for four stages and fields of stress, displacement, pore water pressure, pore air pressure, water content, suction, and the damage region as well as plastic region in an expansive soil slope were obtained.

以混合物理论为基础研究了非饱和土的热-水-力多场耦合问题.将非饱和土视为由土骨架、液态水、水蒸气、干燥气体及溶解气体共5种组分构成的混合物,在组分的质量、动量守恒方程及整体能量守恒方程的基础上,引入了37个补充方程以形成封闭方程组.其中,利用水与水蒸气的化学势改变量相同,推导了在气压力变化条件下水与水蒸气相变平衡所满足的限制方程.最终控制方程以增量形式给出,6个方程求解6个未知量(3个土骨架位移、水压力、气压力及温度),充分反映了热膨胀、热渗流、水的相变、气体溶解及土骨架变形等多种现象的耦合过程.     

非饱和膨胀土的结构损伤模型及其在土坡多场耦合分析中的应用

针对原状膨胀土对气候变化反映敏感的特点和其具有胀缩性、裂隙性、超固结性等力学特性,以非饱和土力学和损伤力学为基础,建立了一个非饱和膨胀土的弹塑性损伤本构模型及相应的固结模型．把原状膨胀土看成是由未损部分和损伤部分的复合体,未损部分用非饱和土的非线性本构关系描述,损伤部分用损伤演化方程和两个屈服面（即,加载屈服面和剪切屈服面）描述．其中的损伤演化方程包括加载引起的损伤和干湿循环引起的损伤两个方面,用作者研制的CT-三轴试验确定．设计了相应的有限元程序UESEPDC;对非饱和膨胀土边坡进行了三相多场耦合问题的数值分析．分析分为4个阶段,得到了边坡在每一分析阶段的应力场、位移场、孔隙水压力场、孔隙气压力场、含水量场、基质吸力场、结构损伤演化场和塑性区扩展的动态图,较好地揭示了膨胀土边坡在开挖和气候变化条件下逐渐发生失稳滑动的现象及其机理．     

Analysis of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils based on theory of mixtures I

This paper analyzes a coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils based on the theory of mixtures. Unsaturated soil is considered as a mixture composed of soil skeleton, liquid water, vapor, dry air, and dissolved air. In addition to the mass and momentum conservation equations of each component and the energy conservation equation of the mixture, the system is closed using other 37 constitutive （or restriction） equations. As the change in water chemical potential is identical to the change in vapor chemical potential, a thermodynamic restriction relationship for the phase transition between pore water and pore vapor is formulated, in which the impact of the change in gas pressure on the phase transition is taken into account. Six final govern- ing equations are given in incremental form in terms of six primary variables, i.e., three displacement components of soil skeleton, water pressure, gas pressure, and temperature. The processes involved in the coupled model include thermal expansions of soil skeleton and soil particle, Soret effect, phase transition between water and vapor, air dissolution in pore water, and deformation of soil skeleton.
