Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of geotechnical engineering, and particularly relates to a marine soft soil deformation characteristic evaluation method based on a disturbance state concept. BACKGROUND

[0002] Marine soft soil is widely distributed in coastal areas of China, and has engineering properties such as high natural void ratio, high water content, low shear strength, high compressibility, and significant structure. In major engineering construction such as urban rail transit, cross-sea channel, deep foundation pit, and underground space development, marine soft soil as an important engineering medium, its mechanical behavior and stability are directly related to the safety and sustainability of the project. However, when subjected to external disturbance (such as tunneling, foundation pit excavation, load application, etc.), the structural property of marine soft soil is easily damaged, leading to complex responses such as strength attenuation, enhanced shear dilation behavior, pore pressure accumulation, and deformation mutation, which can easily cause ground deformation instability, surrounding rock damage, and supporting structure damage.

[0003] Existing marine soft soil deformation evaluation methods are mostly based on traditional elastic-plastic theory or empirical criteria, and usually use stress-strain curves, cumulative plastic strain, and shear modulus degradation as indicators to analyze deformation characteristics. However, these methods often have the following shortcomings: (1) lack of systematic characterization of the structural degradation process caused by disturbance, unable to accurately reflect the coupling relationship between soil mechanical parameters and structural evolution; (2) difficult to distinguish between reversible and irreversible stages of deformation, unable to identify key damage units or potential risk areas; (3) most methods rely on engineering experience or a single physical quantity, with strong subjectivity and poor timeliness of evaluation results, making it difficult to meet the needs of fine deformation prediction and control under complex geological conditions and construction disturbance.

[0004] The Disturbance State Concept (DSC) was first proposed by Desai, which describes the continuous damage process of material internal structure by introducing a disturbance factor. This theory has clear physical meaning and is easy to implement numerically. It combines the structural changes of materials with stress-strain response and energy dissipation mechanism, and can effectively simulate the strain softening, strength loss, and deformation development of marine soft soil under disturbance. However, there is still no systematic method for identifying the response of marine soft soil to engineering disturbance and distinguishing deformation areas based on DSC, and its application in numerical simulation and engineering risk control is still in its early stages.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a marine soft soil deformation characteristic evaluation method based on the disturbance state concept, which combines energy dissipation analysis and plastic strain criteria to establish a scientific deformation identification mechanism and evaluation process, and to realize dynamic tracking of marine soft soil disturbance response, key unit identification, and risk level classification, providing new theoretical and technical support for engineering design, construction control, and disaster warning.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the present application clearer and more understandable, the following describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments and examples. It should be understood that the embodiments given are only one of the implementation manners, and do not represent all the embodiments.

[0032] In combination Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a marine soft soil deformation characteristic evaluation method based on the disturbance state concept, which comprises the following steps: Step 1, a constitutive model based on the concept of disturbed state is constructed, which represents the continuous evolution process of the structure of the soil from the relative intact state to the fully adjusted state through the disturbance function; the relative intact state and the fully adjusted state are two extreme cases of the constitutive model. In this embodiment, the relative intact state is the initial relatively perfect state of the soil, i.e., the disturbance function D = 0, and the fully adjusted state is the limit state reached by the soil after being stressed, i.e., the disturbance function D = 1.

[0033] This step introduces the disturbance function D into the energy dissipation elastoplasticity framework, takes the “relative intact state (D = 0)” and the “fully adjusted state (D = 1)” as two extreme cases of the same model, makes the model parameters (such as the structural parameters, the hardening amount or the yield surface shape parameters) interpolate and map between the two extremes with constraints, and keeps the yield surface closed and the energy positive definite.

[0034] The calculation program of this step is written in Python language, and the construction method specifically includes the following steps: Step 1.1, based on the Duncan-Chang model, the incremental matrix equation of the constitutive model in the relative intact state is obtained. The relative intact state of the constitutive model adopts the Duncan-Chang model, because the model considers the nonlinear and elastoplastic behavior of the soil in the loading and unloading process, and can well simulate the rheological properties of soft soil, and the stress-strain relationship calculation formula is:

[0035] In the formula, σ x and σ 3 are the maximum and minimum principal stresses respectively; and are the maximum and minimum principal stresses respectively; is the axial strain; K is the initial elastic modulus related parameter, which is obtained by fitting experimental data; n is the material nonlinear degree parameter, which is obtained by fitting experimental data; is the failure stress ratio, which is usually determined by experiment, and generally takes a value between 0 and 1; is the strain at material failure, which is determined by experimental data.

[0036] The formula (1) is differentiated to obtain:

[0037] The axial strain increment expression of the Duncan-Chang model in the relative intact state is obtained as follows:

[0038] Based on the Duncan-Chang model, the calculation of the volumetric strain increment is directly related to the increments of the axial strain and the radial strain, therefore, according to wherein, is the volumetric strain, is the axial strain, is the radial strain, whose increment expression in the relative intact state is:

[0039] where, is the tangent modulus calculated in the Duncan-Chang model, is the Poisson's ratio, which needs to be determined by experiment. It needs to be explained that the formula assumes that the marine soft soil is isotropic, so its radial strain increment is expressed by the Poisson's ratio.

[0040] Based on the shear stress expression in the Duncan-Chang model:

[0041] where, is the shear stress; is the shear strain; G is the shear modulus, whose expression is .

[0042] Thus, the mathematical expression of the shear strain increment of the Duncan-Chang model in the relative intact state is obtained as:

[0043] where, The mathematical expression is:

[0044] where, is the effective normal stress; is the effective friction angle; is the parameter in the Duncan-Chang model, representing the increment of the friction angle; is the effective confining pressure, is the atmospheric pressure (usually as the reference pressure); is a model parameter, affecting the degree of pressure dependence.

[0045] The incremental matrix equation of the constitutive model in the relative intact state can be obtained as follows:

[0046] where, is the bulk strain in the relative intact state; is the shear strain in the relative intact state; represents 1 / K , K is the initial elastic modulus related parameter; is zero or partial derivative definition, used to reflect the dependence of the volume strain on the change of the deviatoric stress; Default value is 0, which is used to represent the dependence of shear strain on the change of average effective stress. If the weak coupling is declared, the value is used The checkable bounds and dimensions are given. The value is 1 / G . The value is the increment of effective average stress. The value is the increment of shear stress.

[0047] Step 1.2, the increment matrix equation of the constitutive model in the fully adjusted state is obtained based on the modified Cambridge model. The modified Cambridge model is mainly used for the behavior of soil in the plastic zone, which is used to describe the nonlinear relationship between stress and strain of soil, mainly considering the effects of strain hardening and strain softening. In this embodiment, the critical state theory is used to describe the mechanical behavior of the state, that is, the modified Cambridge model is used to describe the remolded soil.

[0048] Based on the fully adjusted state, the elastic, plastic or elastoplastic model can be used to describe, therefore, according to the super stress rheological theory, the viscous plastic strain rate is represented as:

[0049] In the formula, The value is the viscous plastic strain rate tensor; The value is the viscous plastic proportionality coefficient, which is used to represent the size of the viscous plastic strain rate tensor; The value is the effective stress tensor; The value is the direction used to determine the viscous plastic strain rate in the plastic flow rule, F The value is the viscous plastic function, that is, the yield surface function.

[0050] The yield surface equation of the modified Cambridge model based on the modified Cambridge model is:

[0051] In the formula, The value is the average effective stress; The value is the deviatoric stress; The value is the effective value of the vertical stress in the initial stress field; M The value is the slope of the soil on the critical state line.

[0052] Thus, the mathematical expression of the modified Cambridge model of the bulk strain in the fully adjusted state is obtained as:

[0053] In the formula, The value is the bulk strain in the fully adjusted state; The value is the initial bulk strain; The value is the compression coefficient; The value is the elastic bulk strain coefficient; The value is the current effective stress. Simplified as:

[0054] Thus, the expression of the increment of the volumetric strain of the modified Cam-Clay model in the fully adjusted state is:

[0055] where, is the initial void ratio.

[0056] Based on the mathematical expression of the shear strain of the modified Cam-Clay model:

[0057] where, G is the shear modulus, which can be a constant or a variable depending on the state of the soil (such as effective stress, void ratio), In addition, in the modified Cam-Clay model, the plastic potential function is often taken as a straight line parallel to the critical state line, and its equation is .

[0058] Thus, the expression of the increment of the shear strain of the modified Cam-Clay model in the fully adjusted state is:

[0059] where, the parameter M is calculated by the following formula:

[0060] where, is the internal friction angle of marine soft soil.

[0061] For the parameters and are obtained by the following formula from the confined compression test: , , where, , are the compression index and the rebound index of the remolded soil in the e -lg p plane, respectively.

[0062] In summary, the increment matrix equation of the constitutive model in the fully adjusted state is obtained:

[0063] where, is the volumetric strain in the fully adjusted state; is the shear strain in the fully adjusted state; is the compression coefficient; is the elastic volumetric strain coefficient.

[0064] Step 1.3, based on the test, the disturbance degree parameter is obtained, and the disturbance function of the bulk strain and shear strain describing the evolution of the material from the relatively complete state to the fully adjusted state is constructed.

[0065] Based on the general expression of the disturbance function:

[0066] In the formula, , are the disturbance functions of the bulk strain and shear strain, respectively, , , , are test parameters.

[0067] Obtained, the disturbance function of the bulk strain and shear strain evolving from the relatively complete state to the fully adjusted state is:

[0068] In the formula, is the void ratio of the marine soft soil in the relatively complete state; is the void ratio of the marine soft soil in the actual state; is the void ratio of the marine soft soil in the fully adjusted state; is the shear strain in the actual state.

[0069] Wherein, the The mechanical parameters are obtained by isotropic consolidation creep test, wherein,

[0070] In the formula, is the initial void ratio of the marine soft soil in the natural state; is the elastic bulk strain coefficient in the relatively complete state; is the elastic bulk strain coefficient in the fully adjusted state; is the compression coefficient of the marine soft soil in the natural state; The The mechanical parameters are obtained by triaxial consolidation undrained creep test, wherein, , By integrating formula (8), formula (17) and combining the initial conditions, we get The actual observed shear strain taken from the same path is directly calculated from the axial / radial strain obtained by triaxial consolidation undrained creep test.

[0071] Step 1.4, based on the disturbance function of the bulk strain and shear strain, the bulk strain increment and shear strain increment matrix are obtained, and the constitutive model based on the disturbance state concept is constructed, specifically: Based on the disturbed state theory, the increment equation of the disturbed state concept of marine soft soil is:

[0072] wherein, is the actual observed strain tensor; is the strain tensor of the relative intact state; is the strain tensor of the fully adjusted state; is the disturbed function.

[0073] Thus, the matrix expressions of the volumetric strain increment and the shear strain increment can be obtained:

[0074] wherein, , .

[0075] Therefore, by obtaining the volumetric strain increment, the shear strain increment and the unified algorithm tangent matrix, they can be directly used for numerical integration and global Newton iteration; when the disturbed function changes the “equivalent parameter / hardening variable”, the above expressions can automatically reflect the transition from the relative intact state to the fully adjusted state through parameter updating.

[0076] Step 2, based on the indoor test data of the marine soft soil sample, the natural physical and mechanical parameters of the marine soft soil are obtained. The natural physical and mechanical parameters are the material constants and initial state parameters of the constitutive model in the respective states of the relative intact state and the fully adjusted state, which are used to calculate the mechanical response increment in the two states in parallel at each loading step. The material constants and initial state parameters include the initial elastic modulus related parameters K , the shear modulus G or its compliance, the model structural parameters , and the like.

[0077] Step 3, the natural physical and mechanical parameters are input into the constitutive model based on the disturbed state concept constructed in step 1, the disturbance process of the marine soft soil layer caused by the engineering construction is simulated step by step, and the calculation variables of each stratum unit in the simulation process are extracted, which include but are not limited to the stress, strain, unit volume dissipation energy and equivalent plastic shear strain of each stratum unit.

[0078] Step 4, based on the calculation variables, a double-threshold damage judgment method is used to identify the potential damage units in each stratum, which specifically includes the following steps: Step 4.1, for each finite element unit, the unit volume dissipation energy and equivalent plastic shear strain data in the entire simulation process are extracted to form an “energy dissipation-plastic strain” data sequence.

[0079] Step 4.2, under different working conditions, identify the curve inflection point of the data sequence, and extract the inflection point data including the critical dissipated energy value and the critical equivalent plastic shear strain value.

[0080] Step 4.3, aggregate multiple inflection point data as a sample set, construct a residual sum of squares objective function using the least squares method, and obtain optimal fitting parameters by using the scipy.optimize.curve_fit function in Python to obtain the energy threshold expression in damage judgment based on the power function relationship: , In the formula, is the critical dissipated energy; is the critical equivalent plastic shear strain; a *, b *, c * is the optimal fitting parameter.

[0081] Further, the residual sum of squares objective function is expressed as: , The power function relationship is: , In the formula, a, b, c are undetermined fitting parameters.

[0082] Step 4.4, for any calculation unit, if its cumulative dissipated energy at the simulation final time D and the equivalent plastic shear strain satisfy the following conditions at the same time, it is determined to be a potential damage unit: , In the formula, is the minimum discriminant strain set by engineering experience.

[0083] Step 5, based on the spatial distribution of all potential damage units, all units that satisfy the double criteria in step 4.4 are identified by color; at the same time, the stratum damage distribution cloud chart is generated by using the post-processing function of ABAQUS, realizing the visualization identification and zoning of engineering risk area.

[0084] Therefore, by the above steps, a coupling criterion between structural evolution, energy dissipation and plastic deformation is constructed, realizing the quantitative identification and risk zoning of potential damage area and key deformation area in soft soil stratum.

[0085] Simulation example: In order to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the marine soft soil deformation characteristic evaluation method based on the disturbance state concept proposed in the present application, this embodiment combines the actual working conditions of a marine soft soil area in Shenzhen City, and carries out finite element numerical simulation analysis.

[0086] Based on the ABAQUS finite element program, a two-dimensional foundation settlement simplified model is established, as shown in the drawings. Figure 2 The model size is 60m long and 40m high, and the overall stratum is marine soft soil. In order to compare and analyze, the constitutive relation first adopts the traditional Mohr-Coulomb model, and the material parameters are set as follows: internal friction angle 10°, cohesion 11kPa, elastic modulus 1.26MPa, and Poisson's ratio 0.3. The municipal building concrete structure is simplified as a rigid body, and a uniform load of 200kPa, 300kPa and 500kPa is respectively applied on the reference point (RP) of the rigid body, so as to simulate the influence of temporary pile-up municipal building concrete structure on the settlement of marine soft soil.

[0087] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 the stress-strain and equivalent plastic strain contours of the marine soft soil induced by the temporary pile-up municipal building concrete structure are given. The analysis shows that: (1) Under different load levels, the strain trend of the marine soft soil is consistent, only the deformation value is different, and the maximum settlement is located at the contact between the structure and the soil. The specific settlement values are: the maximum settlement deformation value of the marine soft soil under the action of 200kPa load is 1.27cm, the maximum settlement deformation value of the marine soft soil under the action of 300kPa load is 1.89cm, and the maximum settlement deformation value of the marine soft soil under the action of 500kPa load is 3.52cm.

[0088] (2) Under the action of different loads, the stress trend of the marine soft soil is also consistent, only the stress value is different, and the maximum stress value is also located at the contact between the structure and the soil, which are: the maximum stress value of the marine soft soil under the action of 200kPa load is 109.37kPa, the maximum stress value of the marine soft soil under the action of 300kPa load is 149.02kPa, and the maximum stress value of the marine soft soil under the action of 500kPa load is 228.86kPa.

[0089] (3) With the increase of the temporary pile-up load value, the contact area between the marine soft soil and the concrete structure gradually occurs shear deformation failure, and is finally penetrated and destroyed. In order to quantitatively verify the constitutive model based on the disturbance state concept in the present application, the lower 1.00m of the contact position between the center point of the temporary pile-up municipal building concrete structure and the marine soft soil is taken as the reference point, and the calculated value of the constitutive model proposed in the present application is compared and analyzed.

[0090] As shown in Table 1, the ABAQUS numerical calculation results at the reference point are compared with the calculation results of the constitutive model based on the disturbance state concept proposed in the present application. The data show that the maximum stress values calculated by the constitutive model based on the disturbance state concept are all smaller than the ABAQUS numerical calculation values, and the errors of both are kept within 3%, which are in good agreement.

[0091] Table 1 Comparison of maximum stress values between ABAQUS numerical calculation and disturbance state constitutive model calculation

[0092] Therefore, in summary, by comparing the calculation results of the traditional finite element analysis and the model of the present application, it is proved that the constitutive model based on the disturbance state concept has high calculation accuracy and reliability, and can be effectively applied to the evaluation of the bearing capacity performance of the marine soft soil foundation.
