Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of soft soil settlement calculation, and in particular relates to a soft soil settlement prediction method considering nonlinear permeability. Background Art

[0002] Soft soils usually exhibit high compressibility and low permeability, which makes their settlement behavior a key issue in engineering design and construction. Traditional soft soil settlement prediction methods are usually based on the linear permeability assumption. However, this assumption is often not accurate enough in actual engineering, especially when the nonlinear characteristics of the soil are significant. Its permeability changes with the stress state and porosity of the soil, which significantly affects the settlement of the soil. At present, there are several methods for calculating soft soil settlement: standard method, nonlinear consolidation settlement analytical solution and numerical simulation method. Among them, the standard method is simple to calculate and is widely used in engineering, but it cannot consider the nonlinear permeability characteristics of soft soil, and the calculated settlement has certain errors; while the nonlinear consolidation settlement analytical solution or numerical simulation method can consider the nonlinear permeability characteristics of soft soil, but it has the following disadvantages: ① The permeability coefficient is obtained by traditional indoor permeability test or consolidation-permeability combined instrument. Since the soil sample is only 2 cm thick, it is impossible to consider the influence of size effect on permeability coefficient, especially the main consolidation settlement of deep soft soil is often accompanied by creep, and the 2 cm thick soil sample is difficult to reproduce the size effect and complexity in actual engineering; ② In actual engineering, soft soil settlement is usually affected by multi-level loading, and traditional settlement prediction methods often assume a single loading condition, which makes it difficult to accurately calculate the settlement behavior under multi-level loading. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new method to accurately and efficiently predict soft soil settlement. Summary of the invention

According to the effective stress principle, the soil consolidation control equation in the solid phase coordinate system is transformed to obtain the soil consolidation control model under the influence of load in the solid phase coordinate system: ; In the formula, u It indicates pore pressure; ; ; .

[0009] In the above technical solution, step 4 includes the following steps: Step 4.1: Perform dimensionless processing on the soil consolidation control model under load in the solid phase coordinate system obtained in step 3: ; In the formula, ,in, u is the pore pressure, is the final value of the load, z is the soil depth, is the soil height, is the initial permeability coefficient, is the initial compression modulus; ; ; ; Step 4.2: Perform differential processing on the model after dimensionless processing in step 4.1 to obtain its differential equation: ; In the formula, is the spatial step length; is the time step; is a spatial node, , is the total number of spatial grids; For the time node.

[0010] In the above technical solution, in step 5, according to the solution conditions, the pursuit method is used to solve the differential equation to obtain the soil settlement The calculation formula is as follows: ; In the formula, m Represents the slope of the compression curve.

[0011] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are: ① By adopting a large-scale consolidation-permeability test soil sample with a height of not less than 20 cm (the traditional method is only 2 cm), the boundary effect interference caused by small-size samples is significantly reduced, which can truly reflect the changing characteristics of the permeability coefficient of the deep soft soil layer during the consolidation process and the creep effect of the consolidation process; ② A dual-parameter dynamic correlation model of permeability coefficient-porosity ratio and permeability coefficient-stress is established simultaneously, breaking through the limitations of the traditional single permeability model; ③ The consolidation control equation constructed by the differential equation can dynamically couple the application process of multi-level loads, accurately reflecting the changes in the soil permeability path and drainage boundary conditions caused by graded loading in actual engineering, and solving the settlement prediction lag problem caused by the single loading assumption of the traditional method.
