Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of foundation stability evaluation near a side slope, and in particular relates to a failure mechanism for evaluating the seismic ultimate bearing capacity of a strip foundation near a side slope. Background Art

[0002] Due to construction needs and environmental constraints, the foundations of bridge piers, retaining structures, and high-rise buildings are often located on the crest of adjacent slopes, forming adjacent slope foundations. Unlike horizontal foundations, the presence of a slope reduces the bearing capacity of adjacent slope foundations. Furthermore, in earthquake-prone areas, seismic action can cause sliding failures in adjacent slope foundations. Evaluating the ultimate seismic bearing capacity of adjacent slope foundations under earthquake action is a geotechnical engineering issue at the intersection of slopes and foundations.

[0003] Methods for evaluating the ultimate seismic bearing capacity of foundations adjacent to slopes under earthquakes include the limit equilibrium method, the bounded limit method, finite element limit analysis, and discrete element method. Determining the failure mechanism is a key issue. Limit equilibrium and limit analysis use hypothetical methods, such as the multi-wedge model and logarithmic spiral model, to determine the failure mechanism. Numerical analyses, such as finite element limit analysis, use optimization search techniques, such as adaptive meshing and discontinuous layout optimization, to determine the failure mechanism. The failure mechanism is an NP-type global optimization problem, and the application of the above methods suffers from insufficient accuracy. Strength reduction technology does not require the predetermination of the failure mechanism, but the instability criteria of this method, such as non-convergence of the calculation and sudden changes in the displacement value of the observation point, require subjective setting or judgment. Therefore, the evaluation of the ultimate seismic bearing capacity of foundations adjacent to slopes requires a new failure mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a scientific and reasonable, high engineering practical value and good effect failure mechanism for evaluating the seismic ultimate bearing capacity of strip foundations adjacent to slopes.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0022] The unknown point M(x, y, θ, σ) on the slip line is calculated by combining formulas (7) and (8):

[0023]

[0040] (3) O1CD mixed boundary conditions in the passive zone

[0041] The characteristic stress value of the passive zone is Substituting into equation (19) gives the angle θ between the maximum principal stress in the passive zone and the x-axis: III for:

[0042]

[0043] 3) Failure mechanism

[0046] ΔP is the increment of P0, j is a natural number;

[0047] To calculate the seismic ultimate bearing capacity P of the adjacent slope su , P i Substitute it into the earthquake slip line field theory and boundary condition formula to calculate the earthquake limit slope curve: when the earthquake limit slope curve and the slope surface have only one intersection point, that is, the slope top, the foundation near the slope is in a stable state, then P i <P su , at this time, ΔP in formula (21) = 0.1kPa; when the seismic limit slope curve and the slope surface have a second intersection, the foundation near the slope is in an unstable state, then P i >P su , at this time ΔP in formula (21) = -0.1kPa; when the earthquake limit slope curve is tangent to the slope surface, the foundation adjacent to the slope is in the limit state, at this time P i =P su .

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the failure mechanism of the present invention for evaluating the seismic ultimate bearing capacity of a strip foundation adjacent to a slope has the following beneficial effects:

Whether the seismic ultimate slope surface curve is tangent to the slope surface was used as the seismic ultimate state evaluation standard, thus achieving an objective standard for quantifying the seismic ultimate bearing capacity of strip foundations adjacent to slopes.

[0050] (2) Existing methods require assumptions or optimization methods to determine the critical sliding surface when evaluating the failure mechanism of the seismic ultimate bearing capacity of strip foundations near slopes. However, the present invention does not require assumptions or searches for the critical sliding surface of the slope, thereby improving calculation efficiency and accuracy.

[0051] (3) There are many factors that affect the non-convergence of strength reduction technology calculations. The selection of slope feature points and the judgment of mutation points in the displacement reduction curve are easily affected by human subjective factors. Compared with existing strength reduction technology, the failure mechanism of the present invention is not affected by non-convergence of calculations, thus avoiding human subjective judgment and value selection;
