Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering design technology, specifically to a method for calculating the slip surface of a finite-width soil body under active non-limit conditions, and particularly to a method for calculating the slip surface angle when there is a finite-width soil body between an existing gravity retaining wall and existing bedrock. Background Technology

[0002] Retaining walls are the most common geotechnical retaining structures. Due to their excellent seepage prevention and structural support functions, they are widely used in practical projects such as roadbeds and slope protection. Determining the distribution law of earth pressure behind the retaining wall is a prerequisite for ensuring the toughness and service quality of underground engineering, and it is also one of the fundamental scientific issues in the field of geotechnical engineering.

[0003] Existing methods for determining earth pressure have made some progress. Some technologies have proposed numerical calculation methods for non-limit active earth pressure under rotational conditions around the wall top, deriving the relationship between soil strength parameters and wall displacement functions. Assuming the soil forms a circular arch and the slip surface is a logarithmic spiral surface, a numerical iterative format is constructed, and the calculation results are basically consistent with model tests, providing accurate solutions for rigid retaining wall design. However, the assumption of a logarithmic spiral surface slip surface can lead to complexity. Meanwhile, some technologies consider obtaining earth pressure for finite soil masses with varying widths. By determining multiple parameters and establishing energy balance relationships, the safety of foundation pit excavation can be evaluated and predicted in advance, providing a basis for internal support design. Furthermore, for passive earth pressure calculation methods in narrow fills, existing technologies have simulated failure under unsaturated seepage, considering the coupling effect of the seismic field and the unsaturated seepage field, accurately assessing seismic passive earth pressure, guiding engineering design, and improving stability and safety. These existing achievements have innovatively solved the earth pressure calculation problem in specific scenarios, possessing significant practical significance and application value. However, existing technologies still have certain gaps in determining the angle of the straight slip surface in the non-limit state of soil with finite width. At the same time, existing technologies for determining the slip surface angle of soil with finite width using the finite element method have certain limitations, because when using existing DEM and FEM methods to calculate the earth pressure and failure mode of retaining walls, a lot of time is often required to adjust material parameters and generate meshes.

[0004] Determining the slip surface angle of finite-width soil under non-limit conditions is of great value for accurately describing the earth pressure distribution. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a numerical calculation method that can effectively characterize the slip surface of finite-width soil under active non-limit conditions.

This invention can calculate the development of earth pressure behind the retaining wall with wall displacement, and the resulting earth pressure curve is continuous and differentiable. Compared with classical earth pressure theory, it can provide more accurate calculation results, offering theoretical reference value for the rational design of retaining structures under finite width soil conditions.

[0179] This invention selects typical test results of Deng Bo et al. on the lateral earth pressure of unsaturated sand behind the wall under the active translation mode, Rankine's classical earth pressure solution, and Lai Fengwen et al.'s analytical solution for cross-comparison to verify the rationality. This verifies the accuracy of the calculation results of this embodiment for the actual earth pressure distribution of soil with finite width. The selection of calculation parameters, soil cohesion... c The soil friction angle is 0 kPa. φ The angle is 33.6°, and the displacement ratio is... η Equal to 0.66; Soil weight Aspect Ratio B / H The value is 0.5. The non-limit state earth pressure distribution calculated in this embodiment is compared with the measured and theoretical solutions by Deng Bo, Lai Fengwen, and Rankine et al., such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0180] It can be seen that the calculation results of this embodiment are in good agreement with the industry-recognized typical benchmark test results of Deng Bo et al. (refer to [1], Deng Bo, Yang Minghui, Zhao Minghua. Experimental study on failure mode and lateral earth pressure distribution of unsaturated sand behind the wall under active translation mode [J]. Chinese Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2023, 45(01): 94-102.). Figure 6 The paper also presents a corrected solution for active earth pressure in finite soil obtained by Lai Fengwen et al. using theoretical methods. It can be seen that Lai Fengwen et al.'s analytical solution, which only considers the limit state, results in a smaller active earth pressure value. The classical Rankine earth pressure, on the other hand, is also undervalued because it does not consider the soil arching effect. The earth pressure distribution obtained by this method basically conforms to the trend of the curve obtained from experiments. This embodiment uses iterative calculation to determine whether the slip surface inclination angle meets the upper bound theorem conditions of plasticity. If not, the slip surface inclination angle is adjusted until the requirements are met. This approach can improve the inaccuracy of earth pressure calculation results when the slip surface inclination angle is assumed to be based on empirical formulas.

[0181] Compared with existing technologies, this embodiment considers the influence of soil arching effect and explores a method for determining the optimal slip surface inclination angle that conforms to the principle of mechanical equilibrium. This method can meet the design requirements of retaining walls under finite soil conditions and helps to provide a more refined calculation method for the rational design of retaining structures.
