Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of civil engineering and disaster prevention technology, specifically to a method for assessing the damage evolution of underground structures under sudden explosive loads. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale development of urban underground space, the number of underground structures such as subway stations and tunnels, underground utility tunnels, municipal and hydraulic engineering caverns, and national defense projects is rapidly increasing. These projects are situated in environments constrained by deep overburden and surrounding rock / soil. Once subjected to sudden explosive loads (such as explosions caused by transportation, storage, construction, or terrorist attacks), they will exhibit dynamic characteristics of high confining pressure, multiaxial stress, and strong velocity effects. The shock wave generated by the detonation will be reflected and superimposed multiple times within enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces. Accompanied by the quasi-static hysteresis of gaseous products, this can easily induce tensile / shear composite cracking and rapid damage propagation at stress concentration points such as the arch crown, arch waist, and corners, leading to load-bearing capacity degradation and connectivity disruption, resulting in secondary disasters and operational interruptions. Therefore, quantitative damage evolution assessment and blast-resistant design methods for explosive impact conditions are urgently needed.

[0003] From the perspective of materials and mechanical mechanisms, commonly used materials in underground structures (concrete, masonry composites, fiber-reinforced cementitious materials, etc.) exhibit significant characteristics under explosive impact: (1) Pressure correlation: Increased confining pressure can enhance shear strength and ductility, and the yield surface changes significantly with the first stress invariant; (2) High strain rate effect: Strength and apparent peak strain increase with increasing loading rate; (3) Quasi-brittleness and damage softening: Microcrack initiation and synergistic propagation lead to stiffness and strength degradation, resulting in softening and localization; (4) Statistical dispersion: Inhomogeneity of internal material defects, aggregate distribution, and interface characteristics leads to significant randomness in crack initiation strain, damage threshold, and failure path. Accordingly, accurately characterizing the coupled behavior of "pressure correlation - rate sensitivity - statistical dispersion - damage softening - energy dissipation" is a key challenge in the analysis of underground structures under explosive conditions.

[0004] Existing technologies mainly include the following types of methods, each with its own obvious shortcomings: 1. Experience and Equivalence Method Based on scaled-down distances, empirical impact response spectra, and the equivalent single degree of freedom (SDOF) method, component displacement or equivalent internal forces can be quickly estimated, making them suitable for early-stage scheme comparison. However, these methods are mostly based on freely propagating shock waves in ground or open environments, making it difficult to reflect multiple reflections, confining pressure effects, and hysteresis in underground environments; moreover, they cannot reveal the damage evolution process of crack initiation, propagation, and penetration, thus providing limited guidance for damage classification and repair decisions.

[0005] 2. Traditional elastoplastic models (such as Mohr–Coulomb, Drucker–Prager, and capped models) These models can consider pressure-dependent yield characteristics and are widely used in soil-structure interaction analysis. However, most implementations do not explicitly introduce damage variables, making it difficult to describe stiffness degradation and unloading path evolution; at high strain rates, fitting only static parameters easily underestimates peak strength and energy dissipation capacity; and they lack characterization of crack localization and penetration paths, failing to provide a damage field consistent with actual failure modes.

[0006] 3. Continuous damage and cracking model Continuous medium models such as isotropic / anisotropic damage, tensile-compressive splitting damage, and concrete damage plasticity (CDP) can describe strength and stiffness degradation, and some models also support tensile-compressive asymmetry. However, common problems include the following steps: (1) The rate effect is simply handled, and the strength is often corrected independently by the calibration factor without being coupled with damage evolution and yield surface; (2) There is a lack of statistical characterization of material discretization and weakening elements, which makes the crack initiation location and failure path sensitive to the mesh and initial defects; (3) The mesh dependence and non-physical energy dissipation problems caused by softening are not systematically solved, which makes the width of the damage zone and energy dissipation unstable with the mesh.

[0007] 4. Specialized blast-resistant concrete models (such as high-pressure, high-rate constitutive families commonly used in the engineering field). These models comprehensively consider confining pressure, strain rate, and fragmentation evolution, making them well-suited for penetration, intrusion, and near-field impact problems. However, their parameter systems are complex, calibration costs are high, and they often rely on specific test platforms and large-sample impact tests. Furthermore, they primarily focus on material element-level responses, lacking engineering outputs linked to structural damage grading and repairability assessments. Some implementations still suffer from insufficient softening regularization and numerical stability issues.

[0008] 5. Discrete / Lattice and Phase-Field Fracture Methods Discrete element method (DEM), lattice / microbeam network, and phase field fracture method can naturally generate crack networks and penetration paths, and have strong ability to describe fracture topology. However, their parameter and scale mapping relationships are complex and computationally expensive; their application in the overall analysis of large-scale underground structures is limited, and they are not well integrated with soil-structure interaction and engineering classification processes.

[0009] 6. Numerical stability and parameter inversion problems The stress-strain curve caused by explosive impact exhibits a significant softening segment. Without energy regularization constrained by fracture energy or a viscous / overstress stabilization mechanism, non-physical localization and divergent results often occur. On the other hand, data from common engineering tests such as triaxial tests and split Hopkinson bar (SHPB) tests have not established a robust automatic inversion process with the model parameter system, resulting in subjective parameter selection and insufficient repeatability, thus weakening the model's engineering application value.

[0010] Therefore, the engineering community needs a constitutive and assessment framework for underground structure explosion impact scenarios that can uniformly couple pressure-related yielding (such as DP), strain rate amplification, viscous / overstress flow, and Weibull statistical damage. Simultaneously, it needs to be equipped with energy regularization to ensure mesh independence during the softening stage, and to form a parameterizable, calibrable, and graded output engineering process and software system to support the prediction, damage level determination, and reinforcement decisions throughout the entire process from crack initiation to instability failure. This is precisely the urgent direction and practical need for technological development in this field. Summary of the Invention
