[0032] Figure 1A flow chart of a method for calculating liquefaction deformation of saturated granular materials based on a state evolution model according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0033] S102: Establishing a state evolution model for liquefaction of saturated granular materials, wherein a state parameter characterizing system fluidity in the state evolution model is set to a weighted average of a historical strain rate function and an excess pore water pressure change rate function.

[0034] For saturated granular materials, it is easy to understand that the state parameters that characterize the fluidity of the system are affected by historical strain and pore water pressure. Therefore, a state evolution model of the saturated granular material system is established, which satisfies the following formula:

[0035]

[0036] Where σ is the deviatoric stress, and are the rate of change of deviatoric stress, shear strain and excess pore water pressure, θ and It is the state parameter that characterizes the fluidity of the system and its rate of change, and G(t) is the time-dependent shear modulus.

[0037] The state parameter is defined as the weighted average of the historical strain rate function and the excess pore water pressure change rate function. The influence of the two on the state parameter is assumed to be independent of each other to further simplify the state evolution model:

[0038]

[0039] Assuming that the weighting function decays exponentially, we get:

[0040]

[0041] Among them, γ c and r uc are the characteristic strain and characteristic pore pressure ratio, respectively.

[0042] The rate of change of state parameters can be further expressed as:

[0043]

[0044] For unknown functions Performing Taylor expansion, we get:

[0045]

[0046] when When it is 0, the saturated granular material system should be in the initial state, that is, Therefore, a0=0, ignoring the higher-order terms and combining with formula (1), we can obtain:

[0047]

[0048] Furthermore, the pore pressure evolution model is introduced:

[0049]

[0050] Where t0 is the time when the system reaches initial liquefaction, u a ,u b and u c are the fitting coefficients.

[0051] Furthermore, a unified softening model is introduced to describe the softening upper limit of the system shear modulus in each cycle:

[0052]

[0053] Among them, G max is the maximum shear modulus of the system, C1 and C2 are constants determined by the initial conditions, and a is the Taylor expansion constant. When t = 0, the system shear modulus is not softened by cyclic load, so G(t) / G0 = 1, that is, C2 / G0-ln(C1G0) / a = 1, and 1 / a = g a , C1G0=g c , then the unified softening model can be simplified as:

[0054]

[0055] The Davidenkov model is introduced to characterize the nonlinear softening and recovery characteristics of the system shear modulus with strain.

[0056]

[0057] G max is the maximum shear modulus of the system, γ rev is the shear strain at the loading and unloading reversal point, A, B and γ0 are fitting parameters, which can be obtained from G / G max -γ curve is obtained. When the shear strain is not reversed during initial loading, the shear modulus is corrected using formula (9); after the shear strain is reversed for the first time, the shear modulus is corrected using formula (10) during subsequent loading and unloading.

[0058] Using the finite difference method to solve equation (6), the calculation formulas for shear strain and state parameters can be further expressed as:

[0059]

[0060] S104: Analyze and determine the shear strain time history curve, the stress strain curve, and the state parameter evolution curve according to the state evolution model.

[0061] S106: Using the state parameters to determine whether the saturated granular material is liquefied.

[0062] Combine Figures 1-8 As shown, in order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail.

[0063] Spherical glass beads were selected as the test material and prepared into a standard triaxial specimen with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0064] The sample was prepared by the wet ramming method. A certain mass of glass beads was weighed and prepared into a wet sample with a moisture content of 5% for later use. The sample was evenly divided into 5 layers, poured into the mold layer by layer, and compacted to the corresponding height. The prepared sample was placed in the pressure chamber of the triaxial apparatus and a confining pressure of 20 kPa was applied. The valve was opened, CO2 and airless water were introduced, and the sample was saturated with back pressure. When the B value reached 0.98 or above, the sample was considered to be fully saturated. A confining pressure was applied to the sample to reach the target average effective confining pressure of 100 kPa and consolidated.

[0065] After the isotropic consolidation is completed, the specimen is first subjected to 10 -6 Strain, calculate the small strain shear stiffness through the stress-strain curve as the maximum shear modulus G of the specimen max .

[0066] The saturated specimens were subjected to cyclic dynamic loading with a cyclic stress ratio (CSR) of 0.25 and a loading frequency of 0.05 Hz. The dynamic response curves of the saturated specimens under cyclic loading were obtained. The time required for the specimen to reach initial liquefaction was recorded as t0, and the stress, strain, and excess pore water pressure ratio time history curves were normalized.

[0067] The maximum shear modulus and loading conditions, including initial deviatoric stress, cyclic stress ratio, and average effective confining pressure, were input into the calculation program.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown in FIG, according to the loading conditions, the deviatoric stress loading path is set in the calculation program, and the experimental deviatoric stress loading path is compared with the input deviatoric stress loading path. When the deviatoric stress loading paths match, the input deviatoric stress loading path is used as the calculated deviatoric stress path.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, based on the normalized time history curve of excess pore water pressure ratio fitted by formula (7), the fitting parameter value is determined, that is, u a =0.751,u b =1.632,u c =0.302,.

[0070] like Figure 4As shown, based on the formula (10) in the Davidenkov model, the nonlinear softening of the shear modulus is fitted, and the fitting parameter values are obtained, namely A = 1.294, B = 0.794, and γ0 = 0.00074.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, based on the unified softening model, the upper limit of the shear modulus recovery is fitted to obtain the fitting parameter value, i.e. g a =0.455, g c =0.372.

[0072] Enter other parameters, r uc =0.95,γ c =0.25, a1=35.5, b1=7.5, set the calculation step size to 0.001 in the calculation program, and stop running after 1000 steps.

[0073] Finally, combine Figure 6-8 As shown in Figure 3, the shear strain time history curve, stress-strain relationship and state parameter evolution of this calculation method are obtained. Comparison shows that this calculation method has higher accuracy.

[0074] The embodiments of the present invention link the internal state of the system with the pore water pressure, while also considering the nonlinear softening and recovery of the shear modulus, enabling a more accurate description of the liquefaction deformation behavior of a saturated granular material system. Specifically, the embodiments of the present invention are based on a calculation method for a state evolution model, taking into account the nonlinear evolution of the shear modulus. The Davidenkov model and the unified softening model are introduced to characterize the nonlinear softening of the shear modulus and its upper limit of recovery. A state evolution model for saturated granular materials is established, and iterative calculations are performed using MATLAB. This method is simple and highly accurate. Based on this, different pore pressure models can be replaced based on previous research to describe the liquefaction deformation of different granular material types, greatly reducing the experimental difficulty and significantly promoting the study of the liquefaction of saturated granular materials.
