Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of clay core wall crack analysis, and in particular relates to a method for analyzing property changes of clay core wall tension cracks under fluid-solid coupling. Background Art

[0002] When the conventional finite element method is used to numerically solve the mixed flow fluid-solid coupling analysis model of clay core wall with tension cracks, the cracks are usually characterized by diffuse units, that is, thin layer units are set at the crack site to simulate the cracks by reducing the deformation modulus of the unit and increasing the permeability coefficient. In the process of analyzing the crack extension, this method needs to determine the crack extension path in advance and encrypt the mesh near the crack. However, in actual analysis, the specific path of crack extension is not known in advance, and the full-area encrypted mesh is bound to cause difficulty in solving. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the important influence of the tension cracks in the clay core wall on the stability and seepage characteristics of the wall under the action of fluid-solid coupling. When analyzing the crack extension path, the traditional method needs to determine the crack extension path in advance and encrypt the mesh near the crack, which increases the complexity and workload of the calculation.

[0149] The variable change rate formula is used to discretize the variables in the mixed fluid seepage equation in the fracture in the time domain, and its expression is:

[0150] .

[0151] When there are cracks or weak permeable layers (regarded as a type of crack) on the upstream surface of the clay core wall, it is necessary to jointly solve the soil fluid-solid coupling equation and the fracture seepage equation in the process of analyzing the change in the tensile crack properties of the clay core wall.

[0152] For the soil fluid-solid coupling equation, the water pressure load on the crack surface The fracture width and the seepage volume of the fracture surface are unknown. is unknown and needs to be calculated through the soil fluid-solid coupling equation. Therefore, when solving the soil fluid-solid coupling equation and the fracture seepage equation, both need to be solved iteratively. The solution process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the solution is divided into two parts: fluid-solid coupling analysis of the soil medium part and seepage analysis of the crack part.

[0153] The soil fluid-solid coupling analysis process is as follows:

[0154] S401: Divide the soil grid and arrange the initial crack positions;

[0155] S402: Apply loads and boundary conditions within the load increment step;

[0169] Example 2: The mixed flow-solid coupling extended finite element program for clay core with tension cracks provided in Example 1 is used to analyze the behavior changes of tension cracks in the core of the Hyttejuvet narrow core rockfill dam in Norway.

[0170] The Hyttejuvet Dam in Norway is a narrow core rockfill dam with a crest elevation of 749m, a maximum dam height of 93m, a crest length of nearly 400m, and a normal water level of 745m. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, there are three measuring points E5, E6 and E7. The dam body materials are mainly composed of ① moraine soil, ② transition material, ③ gravel, ④ excavated material, ⑤ rockfill material and ⑥ block stone. The dam body filling process is divided into two phases of construction. The first phase is constructed to an elevation of 700m. The pore pressure sensor monitoring shows that the excess pore water pressure inside the core wall is too high. During the second phase of construction, the pore water pressure dissipation is accelerated by reducing the thickness of the core wall. Above the elevation of 727.8m, a vertical narrow core wall with a width of 4m is used.

[0171] Water storage began in May 1966, and reached the normal water level of 745m in October 1966. Before the water level reached 738m, the seepage rate measured by the downstream water measuring weir was less than 1~2L / s. After exceeding 738m, the downstream seepage rate increased significantly, reaching a maximum of 63L / s, and the seepage water was turbid, indicating a serious leakage problem. Subsequently, the water storage speed slowed down and the seepage rate began to decrease. A few months later, the reservoir was emptied, and when the water level dropped to 717m, the seepage rate dropped to less than 10L / s. Afterwards, the accident was analyzed and it was believed that the increase in leakage was caused by hydraulic fracturing in the core wall. After investigation, it was believed that the hydraulic fracturing occurred at the core wall at an elevation of 710m~730m.

[0172] The mixed flow-solid coupling extended finite element analysis method of clay core with tension cracks developed by the present invention is used to calculate and analyze the change of tension crack properties of Hyttejuvet core rockfill dam. For the convenience of research, it is assumed that the soil parameters of the filter layer and transition layer are the same as those of the dam shell rockfill material, and the extended Duncan EB model is used for the tension part. Many scholars believe that the existence of a weak seepage surface on the upstream side of the core wall is a necessary condition for hydraulic fracturing when analyzing the accident of sudden increase in seepage of Hyttejuvet core rockfill dam. Therefore, when analyzing the change of tension crack properties of the core wall, a 20cm thick and 2m long weak seepage layer is arranged at an elevation of 720m on the upstream side of the core wall, and the permeability coefficient of the weak seepage layer is 1m / d. According to the geometric dimensions of the dam body and the core wall, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional geometric model is established, including the soil body and the core wall.

[0173] Set material parameters according to the properties of different materials, such as deformation modulus, permeability coefficient, density, etc.

[0174] Characterization of cracks in the core wall using displacement enhancement functions in XFEM:

[0175] Crack propagation path: Determine the possible crack propagation path based on the initial pore water pressure and stress state;

[0176] Displacement Enhancement Function: Use displacement enhancement function to simulate deformation discontinuity at cracks.

[0177] According to the seepage pressure changes of the core wall and soil, the seepage pressure model is constructed, and the seepage pressure is decomposed into two parts: continuous seepage pressure and weak discontinuous seepage pressure.

[0178] Initial condition setting: Set the initial stress and seepage pressure conditions, including the initial water level, the initial stress state of the dam material, etc.

[0179] Boundary condition setting: Boundary conditions are set according to the actual situation of the dam body, including: water pressure boundary conditions: the pressure of water on the dam body, foundation constraint boundary conditions: the constraint of the foundation on the dam body.

[0180] The behavior changes of the core wall tension cracks are simulated by using the iterative solution method of XFEM combined with the fluid-solid coupling equation.

[0181] Solution process:

[0182] Initial iteration: Calculate the initial stress and seepage pressure distribution;

[0183] Iterative update: Update the displacement and seepage pressure fields at each time step;

[0184] Convergence judgment: Determine whether the convergence conditions are met. If not, continue iterating.

[0185] According to the numerical solution results, the expansion path of the core wall cracks and the changes in crack morphology are analyzed;

[0186] Analyze the changes in seepage pressure at the cracks and inside the entire core wall to evaluate the effect of pore water pressure dissipation;

[0187] Through the calculation results, the displacement and stress field distribution of the core wall and dam body are obtained, and the structural stability is evaluated.

[0188] Figure 5~Figure 7 The calculated values ​​and monitored values ​​of the pore water pressure at the E5, E6, and E7 measuring points inside the core wall during the construction period and the water storage period are compared. It can be seen that during the filling period, as the filling height increases, the pore water pressure in each part of the core wall increases synchronously; during the construction interval and from the completion of filling to the water storage, the pore water pressure dissipates; during the water storage process, as the upstream water level rises, the pore water pressure inside the core wall also gradually increases. The calculated pore water pressure values ​​are generally close to the measured values, which shows the reliability of the calculation method.

[0189] During the construction and water storage process, as the load on the upper soil increases during the filling process, the vertical stress at the end gradually increases; in the period from the completion of filling to the water storage, the vertical stress at the end increases slightly due to the partial dissipation of the pore water pressure; when the water storage level exceeds the weak layer, the reservoir water flows into the weak layer, and the water load generated by the reservoir water produces a tensile effect on the layer surface. As the water level rises, the vertical compressive stress at the end gradually decreases. After the water storage exceeds 738m, tensile stress is generated. When the tensile cracking criterion is met, cracks will occur. Finally, the cracks penetrate the core wall to form a concentrated leakage channel.

[0190] The above calculation and analysis show that the leakage accident of the Hyttejuvet core rockfill dam is mainly caused by hydraulic fracturing at the core wall. The uneven settlement of the rockfill body and the core wall and the pore water pressure during the filling process reduce the vertical stress of the core wall, but no tensile stress occurs. During the water storage process, the existence of the weak seepage layer on the upstream surface of the core wall is the direct cause of hydraulic fracturing. The water load exerts a tensile effect on the weak layer, causing the core wall to crack. Finally, the tensile cracks penetrate the core wall and form a concentrated leakage channel. The analysis results of this embodiment are basically consistent with the on-site monitoring and accident phenomena, indicating that the fluid-solid coupling expansion finite element simulation of cracks with tensile cracks proposed in this embodiment is feasible.

[0191] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
