Application of PETSc in soil-water coupled geotechnical problems

In this paper, parallel library, portable extensible toolkit for scientific computation (PETSc), is used to solve linear systems in soil-water coupled finite element method (FEM) for geotechnical problems. The parallel environment is integrated into GLEAVES, which is a geotechnical software package used for the finite element simulation. The linear system ·· = · which is a fundamental and the most time-consuming part of the FEM is solved with iterative solvers in PETSc. In order to find a robust and effective combination of iterative solvers and corresponding preconditioners for the soil-water coupled problems, performance evaluations on Krylov subspace methods and four preconditioners are carried out. The results indicate that general minimal residual (GMRES) method coupled with preconditioners can provide an effective solution. The application to a construction project is presented to illustrate the potential of the proposed solution.     

地面出入式盾构隧道稳定性控制措施有效性研究

文章以南京地面出入式盾构工程为背景,采用三维有限元模拟了地面出入式盾构隧道的整个施工过程,通过在模型中施加隧道内部压重与地表堆载,研究了两者对控制隧道上浮量、提高隧道稳定性的有效性。分析计算结果与现场监测数据表明:内部压重能够明显地提高隧道的稳定性,且效果比较明显;地表堆载也能在一定程度上减小隧道的上浮量,但其效果没有内部压重明显;施工中应结合现场实际条件,综合采用两者来实现最佳的稳定隧道效果。     

中隔墙对上海轨道交通16号线大断面盾构隧道的变形影响分析

上海市轨道交通16号线地下区间首次采用内径为10.4 m并设置中隔墙的"单洞双线"大断面盾构隧道。为了避免中隔墙的设置对隧道管片结构产生不利影响,中隔墙顶部与隧道结构之间需预留一定的间隙,即采用分离式设计。针对管片自身重力、地层荷载和地层固结沉降3种不同荷载类型,分别采用弹性铰圆环法、弹性地基梁法和连续介质有限元法计算管片的变形量,讨论隧道管片接头的转动刚度取9 800 kN·m/rad和19 600 kN·m/rad 2种情况。计算结果表明,隧道管片与中隔墙之间的间隙值应取为10~15 cm为宜。     

软土地层双圆盾构改进研究

双圆盾构工法(DOT)在国内外已经有很多工程应用实例,但在软土地层施工过程中出现了一些异常地表沉降问题.文章结合双圆盾构在软土地层的工程实践和监测数据分析,提出了双圆盾构设备改进建议,并对实际效果进行了分析.结果表明:选用辐条式刀盘在合理的施工管理情况下有利于控制沉降;设置帽檐难以得到显著的沉降控制效果;采用先端混合型注浆管、在注浆[口处设置土压力计和选用合适的浆液材料等改进的盾尾注浆设备可以良好地控制双圆盾构施工引起的地层沉降;千斤顶组合、超挖刀和压重等措施可以很好地解决盾构旋转问题.提出的改进措施为改造与研制适合软土地层的双圆盾构奠定了基础,有助于双圆盾构工法在软土地层中的的推广应用.     

Numerical analysis on the influence of thickness of liquefiable soil on seismic response of underground structure

Seismic response of underground structure in liquefiable soils was analyzed by means of fully coupled dynamic finite element method. The soils were simulated by a cyclic mobility constitutive model, which is developed at the base of modified Cam-Clay model with some concepts such as stress induced anisotropy, over-consolidation and structure. It is verified that the constitutive model can perfectly described the dynamic character of both liquefiable sand and non-liquefiable clay. Special emphasis was given for the influence of thickness of liquefiable soil on the seismic response. Results showed that soils at both sides of the structure flowed toward the bottom of the underground structure with the occurrence of liquefaction, which led to the uplift of structure. The uplift of underground structure increased with the increasing of thickness of liquefiable soils.     

超大断面盾构隧道管片施工荷载现场监测研究

盾构隧道施工荷载对隧道结构有不容忽视的影响.文章以上海长江隧道为依托工程,进行了施工荷载的现场监测研究.国内首次在管片外弧面荷载测最中采用日本研发的具有较大受力面的柔性土压力计,实施实时监测,获得了第一手实测数据.数据分析表明,在外弧面上主要受到来自各种荷载当中,盾尾注浆引起的附加荷载最大;将荷载分布与惯用设计法所得设计值相比较发现,施工荷载的最大值大于或接近设计水土压力,但其分布比设计值均匀.
