软基处理中孔隙水消散规律的研究

为研究饱和多孔土体在固结中孔隙水压力的变化特性,首先根据实际工程条件建立有限元模型,用模拟结果与原位测试结果进行对比,验证建立的模型准确性。然后应用该有限元模型设置相关条件,深入研究在外加荷载的情况下超孔隙水压力的变化规律。分析结果表明:随着时间的推移超孔压逐渐消散,365、90、25、18、8 d地基沉降值有明显回弹,而且这种现象距离荷载中心越远就越明显;超孔隙水压力变化敏感度跟排水有关,越接近排水面也就越敏感,越远则越迟钝。     

Microstructural Viscoplastic Continuum Model for Permanent Deformation in Asphalt Pavements

Permanent deformation is one of the major distresses in asphalt pavements. It is caused mainly by high traffic loads associated with high field temperatures. An anisotropic viscoplastic continuum damage model is developed in this study to describe permanent deformation of asphalt pavements. The model is based on Perzyna’s formulation with Drucker–Prager yield function modified to account for material anisotropy and microstructure damage. The material anisotropy is captured through microstructural analysis of aggregate distribution on two-dimensional sections of hot mix asphalt. A damage parameter is included in the model to quantify the nucleation of cracks and growth of air voids and cracks. A parametric study was conducted to demonstrate the sensitivity of the model to strain rate, aggregate distribution, and microstructure damage. Triaxial strength and static creep measurements obtained from the Federal Highway Administration Accelerated Loading Facility were used to determine the model parameters.
