Couple Analysis of the Slice and Gravity Increasing Methods of Slope Stability

The finite element or finite difference method and the limit equilibrium method, with their respective merits, were used to analyze soil slope stability in detail. On the basis of the slice and gravity increase methods, a fundamental principle of couple analysis, and a procedure for calculating the slope safety factor were put forward. ANSYS finite element software and finite difference software FLAC were used to determine the most dangerous sliding face and the stress-stain in slopes. The slope safety factor was determined using the slices limit equilibrium method. The calculation shows that the result obtained using couple analysis is close to the results produced using other methods in the example, and the analysis of the effects of the intensity indices is more precise. The results can provide a basis for consolidating design of the sliding slope.     

非线性Mohr-Coulomb破坏准则下边坡可靠度上限

传统边坡可靠度分析往往在岩土参数服从线性Mohr-Coulomb（简称线性M-C）破坏准则的假设条件下进行,并且常常采用极限平衡法或有限元法计算安全系数。然而,岩土介质破坏准则具有一定的非线性。为能更加实际地描述岩土破坏机理和得到严格精确的解,基于非线性Mohr-Coulomb（简称非线性M-C）破坏准则,结合极限分析上限法和蒙特卡洛法,进行边坡可靠度上限分析。当非线性参数m=1时,与等效的线性M-C破坏准则进行对比计算,验证了方法的可行性。同时,将初始粘聚力、内摩擦角arctan（c₀/σ_t）和非线性参数作为随机变量且服从截断正态分布,进行了参数变异性和敏感性影响分析。研究表明：非线性M-C破坏准则下,边坡可靠度随初始粘聚力、内摩擦角arctan（c₀/σ_t）和非线性参数变异性的增大而减小;边坡可靠度随初始粘聚力和内摩擦角arctan（c₀/σ_t）的增大而增大,随非线性参数的增大而减小。     

Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Research on Pedestal of PC Beam for Light Railcar

In design of light railcar used freely supported beam, the cast steel pedestals will bear complex loads, which include weight, acceleration and wind, etc. Because of pedestals' peculiarity and complexity, the strength of the pedestals play an important role in safety of light railcar. So it's necessary to analyze their stress and deformation in order to insure safety of light railcar. Up to now, finite element analysis is still the most effective means. By studying cast steel pedestal with finite element method, 3-D finite element models of fixed and kinetic pedestals were built, and the loads and boundary condition of pedestals were analyzed. By means of finite element analysis software, the contact and von mises stresses were obtained and deformation were resolved. As a result of analysis, the tow of pedestal can fulfill requirement of use in light railcar, the contact stress and von mises stress are not exceeded limit stress strength of materials. There is enough static strength for the structures of pedestals. For verifying theoretical analysis result, the fatigue test was carried out, with examining the testing points locating on the pedestals, the stress and deformation data were measured. By comparing between theoretical analysis and test data, the experimental results show calculated and testing results can meet the case well which assure the reliability of finite element analysis. But in the result, there are differences in deformations of them. The reason may be that boundary conditions and loads are not same between analysis and experiment.     

Influence of Soft Soil Layer on Dynamic Characteristic of the Slope

The dynamic finite element method is used to analyzes the influence on dynamic characteristic of the slope by soft soil layer. The parameters which influencing the earthquake response of the slope, including the depth, the thickness, the obliquity of soft soil layer are analyzed. The influence of soft soil layer is obvious, which must be thought over in the analysis of slope stability. The thicker the soft soil layer is, the more obvious the filter and the amplitude effect is. The deeper the soft soil layer is, the more obvious the filter effect is. The filter effect of the obliquity of the soft soil layer to dynamic time history is not obvious.

Static Behavior of Rigid Connections of H-beams with Corrugated Webs

Steel H-beams with corrugated webs can provide high shear-buckling resistance with very thin webs, which results in saving of steel. Common beam-to-column rigid connections are not suitable for H-beams with corrugated webs, so 2 types of rigid connections are proposed .In this paper,2 static tests of beam-to-column rigid connections of H-beams with corrugated webs were conducted. And the test results were compared with the results from finite element analysis and the results calculated from the practical design formulas to verify the validity of the results from ABAQUS FEA and reliability from the practical design formulas. Parametric studies were carried out to investigate the bearing capacity of the pinned connection with variations in the thickness of the endplate, the connecting plate and the corrugation at the breaking point.

Seismic Behavior of a Slope Protected by a Soil Nailing Retaining Wall during an Earthquake

The dynamic elastic plastic finite element method was used to study the seismic performance of a slope protected by a soil nailing retaining wall. On the basis of working in parallel and interaction between loess and a flexible retaining wall, a 3 D nonlinear finite element method (ADINA) also was established. Rational earthquake excitation and damping were discussed for geological engineering. Horizontal and vertical excitations were considered simultaneously in the analyses. A model capable of simulating the nonlinear static and dynamic elastic plastic behavior of soil was used to model the soil, and a bilinear elastic plastic model having hardening behavior was used to model the soil nailing. A friction element was employed to describe the soil structure interaction behavior. Our research focused on the seismic performance of the horizontal and vertical slope deformation, soil nailing axial force, and earth pressure subjected to horizontal and vertical excitations. The results show that the seismic performance of slope protected by soil nailing is good; soil nailing axial force increases after an earthquake; permanent slope displacement occurs during an earthquake; and the peak earth pressure distribution during an earthquake is similar to the earth pressure before the earthquake. These conclusions can provide references for seismic analyses and design in soil nailing engineering.

Construction and Confirmation of a Model for Time Dependent Resistance of the Steel Structure Project

We developed a model of time dependent resistance for a steel structure project and discuss herein the expression and the primary value of many parameters in the model. On the basis of the APDL language furnished by universal finite element program, we united the functions of structural and statistic analyses. A time dependent reliability analysis was implemented. The result of the time dependent reliability analysis was compared with that of the no time dependent reliability analysis. Through testing a calculated example, we saw that when the time dependent resistance was considered, the factor of time greatly influences structural reliability. In addition, we found that the model of time dependent resistance for a steel structure is reasonable and feasible.
