  2. Contents • Introduction • Constitutive Model of Compacted Soil • Numerical Analysis and Centrifuge Tests • Comparison of Calculated and Experimental Results • Application • Conclusions

  3. Introduction Dynamic Stress Analysis for Earth Dam • Objectives • Effective-stress modeling for earth dam • Verification by centrifuge models • Purposes of dynamic analysis for earth dam • to evaluate dam response under earthquake • Stress / Acceleration • Liquefaction Potential • Permanent deformation/settlement • Types of analysis • Total stress analysis • Effective stress analysis

  4. Effective Stress Constitutive Models for Soil under Cyclic Loading • Dev= f(Dg, g, No of cycles,…) • e.g., ： Martin-Finn (1975) • dilatancy = f( stress state, state parameters,…) • e.g., Li et al. (2000) • Ueng and Lee (1990) • Du = f(damage parameters) • Du = f(k) orDev= f (k) • e.g., Finn et al.(1981) endochronic model • Park(2000) disturbed state concept • Elasto-plastic model • e.g., Manzari ＆ Dafalias (1997) , Prevost（1985） • Pastor et al, (1990), Iai et al. (2000)

  5. Effective-stress Based Dynamic Analysis • FEM & FDM incorporating effective stress model appropriate for cyclic loading e.g., • Zienkiewicz, et al. (1981, 1984) • Beaty and Byrne (1999) • Dakoulas and Eltaher (1998) • Ming and Li (2003) among others • Application on dynamic response of earth dam • Simulation of failure case e.g., Lower San Fernando Dam – built by hydraulic fill

  6. Typical Behavior of heavily compacted fill e=10-1% ~1% e=10-2% e=10-3%

  7. A Constitutive Model of Compacted Soil • Stress-strain relation • Incrementally linear • Stress-level dependent • Modulus degradation - disturbed state concept • Irrecoverable dilatancy • Assumption • Saturated Soil

  8. DSC ( Disturbed State Concept) Desai and co-workers (1991) • Disturbance due to external loading • RI (Related Intact)FA (fully adjusted ) • Follows a specific rule • Separate Constitutive laws for RI ＆ FA

  9. Constitutive Relations RI State : As Dde =0 Seed-Idriss formula (1970) FA State : As Dde =1 Along the failure line h=M Li and Dafalias (2000)

  10. Intermediate state • For an arbitrary disturbed state • (i.e., for 1>Dde>0) • Accounting for stress history

  11. Modeling Pore Water Pressure Build-up Irrecoverable Dilatancy : slope of phase transformation line C & w: material parameters : shear strain increment : plastic volumetric strain Pore Water Pressure Build-up

  15. Centrifuge Testing • Purposes • Observation of the dynamic response of model earth dam subjected to dynamic loadings • Verification of Numerical Model • Centrifuge tests • Carried out in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology • Capacity : 400 g-tons • Arm radius : about 4.2m • Maximum centrifuge acceleration : 70g • Shaker: max. shaking acceleration 40g

  16. Model Embankment Dam • Detail of the model embankment dam • in rectangular rigid container 712mm x 432mm x 440mm • symmetrical slopes (slope ratio 1:2) • height and base width : 190 mm and 660 mm • Leighton-Buzzard sand with Dr=90% • Carboxy methylcellulose (CMC) as the substituted pore fluid (Dewoolkar et al 1999) • to take time conflict of dynamic and diffusion problems into account • CMC is a water-soluble cellulose ether • odorless, harmless, use in food & pharmacy

  17. Model Embankment Dam Installed miniature sensors: accelometers, pore pressure transducers , LVDTs, Laser sensors

  18. Triaxial Tests • Purpose: • Calibration of parameters for the material as same as the model embankment dam (Dr=90%) • Types of Test • Cyclic triaxial tests • Stress controlled cyclic triaxial tests • sc=0.3、0.5 、1kg/cm2 • Monotonic CU tests • sc= 0.3、0.5、1 kg/cm2

  29. Conclusions • Heavily compacted fill in an earth dam behaves like a very dense soil. • An effective stress based constitutive model for compacted fill was proposed. • This model takes into account • Progressive degradation • Stress-level dependency • Effects of stress history & Stress history • Pore water pressure build-up

  30. Conclusions (con’d) • A numerical model for an effective stress based analysis was • developed for dynamic analysis of earth dam • verified by the results of centrifuge tests • Effective stress analysis for a well instrumented earth dam • using the Chi-Chi earthquake data • numerical and instrumented results were consistent
