Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of roadbed engineering design, and in particular to a method for analyzing and calculating lateral earth pressure on a limited range of fill. Background Technology
[0002] Based on typical application scenarios of retaining wall-type retaining structures in railways, highways, urban rail transit, and municipal roads, some retaining structures are located in special areas such as road underpasses, tunnel entrance / exit transition sections, and foundation pit support, where construction sites are narrow, there are many adjacent structures, and environmental impacts are complex. For these scenarios, the backfill soil between the newly constructed retaining structure and existing structures is a finite-range fill. The lateral earth pressure analysis and calculation methods for this area differ significantly from those for conventional retaining structures, requiring a comprehensive consideration of the finite-range fill and the influence of external loads.
[0003] Accurate calculation of lateral earth pressure in finite-range fill is the foundation for the bearing capacity analysis and structural design of retaining structures. In conventional design, the classical Rankine earth pressure theory or Coulomb earth pressure theory is generally used. However, both of these earth pressure theories are based on the assumption of semi-infinite width fill. Directly applying them to the calculation of lateral earth pressure in finite-range fill will result in large calculation errors and is not suitable for the design of retaining structures in finite-range fill.
[0004] Currently, there are many research results on finite-range earth pressure analysis methods, and there are four main typical analysis methods:
[0005] First, based on the theory of the upper limit of soil plasticity and in accordance with the law of related flow, the active and passive earth pressure intensity of finite soil can be derived and used as the amplitude of lateral earth pressure of finite fill.
[0006] Second, based on the assumptions of rigidity of retaining structures and small deformation of soil, a simplified calculation method for earth pressure in finite soil is derived through the force equilibrium relationship of differential bodies.
[0007] Third, based on the limit equilibrium theory and the plane slip surface assumption, and considering the application of soil cohesion, a mathematical expression for calculating active earth pressure in finite soil is established.
[0008] Fourth, based on the premise of the non-limit state of the soil, and considering the empirical relationship between earth pressure and the lateral displacement of the support structure, a nonlinear displacement active earth pressure calculation formula is established.
[0009] The above methods partially solve the problem of calculating lateral earth pressure in finite fill, but they still have shortcomings in terms of the reasonable determination of external loads, inclined walls, and slip surfaces.
[0010] Therefore, how to effectively consider the slip surface form of the finite-range fill and the combined effect of external loads, conduct stress state analysis of the slip prism of the finite-range fill under ultimate bearing conditions, and accurately obtain the magnitude and distribution of lateral earth pressure of the finite-range fill under active failure mode is a key technical problem that should be focused on and solved at this stage.

[0165] To verify the accuracy of the method of the present invention, a lateral earth pressure monitoring system was installed at a design site of a closed roadbed for a high-speed railway in this embodiment, and the system was monitored along the height of the wall.
