Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of geotechnical engineering, and particularly relates to a humidity calculation method considering the compaction characteristics of subgrade. Background Art
[0002] The distribution of the subgrade humidity field is the key to determining the performance of the subgrade. It is crucial to accurately evaluate the evolution and balance laws of the subgrade humidity. The subgrade is compacted and formed according to a specific compaction degree; during the operation period, since the subgrade is in the atmospheric environment, it will be affected by natural conditions such as rainfall, evaporation, freeze-thaw, and vehicle loads, which will cause the attenuation of the soil compaction degree, especially significant in the humid and hot areas in the south of China. Through field investigations on expressways such as Lianzhu, Heliu, and Changzhang, after years of operation, the overall compaction degree has attenuated by about 10%, which will cause changes in the hydraulic properties such as the water-holding characteristics and permeability characteristics of the soil, thereby affecting the migration and balance of humidity. At the same time, due to the influence of filling machinery compaction, natural environment, and vehicle loads, there is a great variability in the compaction degree in space, which will lead to differences in hydraulic properties at various positions of the subgrade. In the existing humidity calculation methods, these two characteristics existing in the subgrade are not considered, resulting in differences between the calculated subgrade humidity and the actual situation, which is not conducive to accurately obtaining the evolution and balance laws of the subgrade humidity, and thus unable to evaluate the evolution of the subgrade mechanical properties and ensure the durability of the subgrade.

[0077]
[0078] In the formula: a·k0 is the saturated permeability coefficient in the initial state, that is, the value of k under the condition where both the compaction degree and the stress value in the test scheme are the lowest; To avoid poor fitting effect due to too small fitting data, a is the 10^n part when using scientific notation, and k0 is the base part; k1, k2, k3 are fitting parameters. s For the sake of avoiding poor fitting effect due to too small fitting data, a is the 10^n part when using scientific notation, k0 is the base part; k1, k2, k3 are fitting parameters.
[0079] S2: Construct a spatial distribution model of subgrade compaction degree considering randomness and decay.
[0080] S21: Construct a decay function. Fill the remolded soil sample into a container with a fixed volume according to the set compaction degree, then replenish water at the bottom, install a displacement meter at the top to record the displacement change △h of the top surface of the sample, and convert it into dry density as shown in formula (3). Use the ratio of ρ d at each time point to its maximum dry density to calculate the compaction degree, form a time-history curve of compaction degree decay, and fit out the decay function C(t) of the compaction degree.

First, calculate the relative distance between the collected data points according to the measured field compaction degree data to obtain the relative distance matrix △d(i,j) of the data points, as shown in formula (4a). Subsequently, multiply the compaction degrees of two collected data points with a relative distance of △d k after normalization, and finally sum and average the products of the compaction degrees of the data points corresponding to the same relative distance to obtain the autocorrelation coefficient of the data points with a relative distance of △d k as shown in formula (4b),

Based on the random field theory, substitute the relative distances and the corresponding autocorrelation coefficient results calculated above into the autocorrelation function model (5) and perform fitting using the least squares method. Then, select the optimal autocorrelation function type according to the fitting results and determine the corresponding undetermined parameter, the autocorrelation distance δ, so as to establish a compaction degree autocorrelation model inversed based on the on-site measured data.
[0090]
[0091] Where: Δd represents the relative distance between two points in the subgrade space, R(Δd) represents the compaction degree autocorrelation coefficient with a relative distance of Δd in the subgrade space, δ is the autocorrelation distance of the compaction degree, and e is the base of the natural logarithm.
[0092] S223: Construct the compactness random field. First, discretize the subgrade space. Represent the compactness C as a set of spatially correlated and identically distributed random variables at each spatial position, and discretize the subgrade space into multiple small regions, with each region representing a compactness value. Calculate the relative distance between each discrete region and other discrete regions to obtain the relative distance matrix of the discrete space. Subsequently, substitute the calculated relative distance matrix of the discrete space into the compactness autocorrelation model established above to calculate the autocorrelation coefficient matrix R(Δd) of the compactness on the discretized subgrade space, and decompose the autocorrelation coefficient matrix R(Δd) according to the covariance matrix Cholesky decomposition method to obtain the lower triangular matrix L after decomposition, as shown in Equation (6a). Finally, generate a random matrix U that is identically distributed with the compactness C variable, and multiply it by the decomposed lower triangular matrix L to obtain the simulated random field C(x,y) of the compactness, as shown in Equation (6b):
[0093] LL T =R(Δd)(6a)
[0094] C(x,y)=LU(6b)
[0095] where: Δd represents the relative distance coordinate matrix of the discrete space, R(Δd) is the autocorrelation matrix of the compactness on the subgrade space, L is the lower triangular matrix obtained after the Cholesky matrix decomposition, L T is the transpose of the matrix L, and U is a set of random variables that are identically distributed with the variables of the compactness C.
[0096] Use Matlab software to inversely obtain the probability parameters, namely the mean value of the compactness and the standard deviation, as well as the autocorrelation distance δ of the compactness random field from the measured field compactness data. Then, build the compactness random field model based on the exponential autocorrelation function, and subsequently generate the compactness random field according to the covariance matrix Cholesky decomposition method (Equation 6).

Therefore, it is customized using the weak form partial differential equation as follows: Select the weak form partial differential equation module in the software, and set 1 independent variable: u is the overburden stress,
[0107] Define: ∫ Ω -(u - P1)*test(u)dΩ = 0; where, Ω is the calculation domain; P1 is the integral form of the overburden stress, test() is the trial function, P1 = (abs(integrate(rho1*g_const, y, ymin, ymax)) + P1P)*(x <= L) + (abs(integrate(rho1*g_const, y, ymin, ymax)))*(x > L), where, P1P is the self-weight of the road surface; rho1 is the wet density of the soil; abs() represents the absolute value function; integrate() represents the integral function; g_const represents the acceleration due to gravity; x represents the abscissa of the data point; y represents the vertical coordinate of the data point, ymin is the lower limit of the vertical coordinate value of the data point, ymax is the upper limit of the vertical coordinate value of the data point; L is the width of the road surface; The coupling of the two physical fields is realized through the continuous self-reconstruction of the trial function test().

[0129] Figure 2 Figures 3a and 3b are the compaction degree random field distribution maps at the initial moment and at the end of the decay. Among them, Figure 3a is the compaction degree random field distribution map at the initial moment, i.e., t = 0a, that is, the 0th year, and Figure 3b is the compaction degree random field distribution map at the end of the decay, i.e., t = 3a, that is, the third year.
[0130] Figure 3a Figure 3a is the subgrade moisture evolution map obtained by the traditional method, i.e., the method that does not consider the compaction degree and the overburden stress. Figure 3b is the subgrade moisture evolution map considering the influence of the compaction degree and the overburden stress. Figure 3c is the subgrade moisture evolution map considering the decay of the compaction degree. Figure 3d is the subgrade moisture evolution map considering the randomness and decay of the compaction degree;
[0131] From Figure 3a 、 3b 、Figure 3c, and Figure 3d, it can be seen that after the subgrade is filled, the moisture content of the subgrade increases under the influence of rainfall, evaporation, and the groundwater level, and the moisture content becomes stable after about 4 years. Among them, see Figure 3a, Point 3 at the center of Area 93 shows an increase in moisture content in the first year because it is close to the groundwater level. Around two years later, the moisture content at Monitoring Points 2 and 1 in Areas 94 and 96 also starts to increase, and the moisture content reaches equilibrium after the fourth year; the overall equilibrium moisture content of the roadbed increases with depth. When the influence of compaction degree and overlying stress is considered in the calculation method, see Figure 3b , the initial moisture contents of each observation point are different because the initial condition is a fixed matrix suction value. After considering the overlying stress and compaction degree, it can be seen from Equation (1a) that the initial moisture contents of each observation point are different. Comparing with the results of the traditional method ( Figure 3a ), it can be found that the starting time of moisture change at each location is advanced to about one year for Points 1 and 2, and the equilibrium time is also advanced to about three years; the equilibrium moisture contents of Point 3 under the two calculation methods are close, while the equilibrium moisture contents of Points 1 and 2 increase, and the difference in the equilibrium moisture contents of Points 1 and 2 also increases. This is because the hydraulic parameters of the traditional method are for the test conditions without compaction degree and without load, while there are differences in hydraulic parameters after considering the compaction degree and overlying stress. Figure 3c To further consider the evolution results when the compaction degree decays, it can be found that the equilibrium time of moisture at each point is slightly advanced, and the most significant change is that the equilibrium moisture content has increased significantly. For example, for Monitoring Point 3, the results of the first two methods are about 0.40 cm 3 / cm 3 , while the moisture content increases to 0.42 cm 3 / cm 3 by this method. This is because the compaction degree decays, increasing the pore volume and resulting in an increase in moisture content. Figure 3d In
[0132] Figure 4a , considering the compaction degree decay and randomness, the evolution result diagram of the roadbed moisture content under a certain random distribution of compaction degree can be found. The distribution of moisture content shows randomness, and the moisture content distribution at each monitoring point no longer follows the rule of increasing with depth. Figure 4b Figure 4b is the probability distribution diagram of the moisture content at Observation Point 1 after 15 years considering the compaction degree random field and decay,
[0133] Figure 4c is the probability distribution diagram of the moisture content at Observation Point 3 after 15 years considering the compaction degree random field and decay. It can be seen that the equilibrium moisture contents at each location conform to the normal distribution, and the normal fitting accuracy reaches 0.99. For Observation Point 1, the mean value is 0.406 cm 3 / cm 3 ; for Observation Point 2, the mean value is 0.413 cm 3 / cm 3; For the observation point No. 3, the mean value is 0.420 cm 3 / cm 3 . It can be found by comparison that the equilibrium moisture content generally increases along the depth direction. In summary, through the probability analysis of the equilibrium moisture content, it can be concluded that the calculation method of subgrade moisture considering the randomness and decay of compaction degree can provide a basis for the reliability design of the performance of the entire subgrade structure.
