1. 第四章 土的压缩与固结Chapter 4 Compressibility and Consolidation of Soil 4.1Compaction Vs Consolidation压实与固结 空气的体积减小 孔隙水的体积减小

2. What is consolidation? (什么是固结?) • Consolidation is a time-related(时间性) process of increasing the density(增加密度) of a saturated soil by draining some of the water out of the voids. • Coarse-grained soils (粗粒土), such as sands and gravels, consolidate at a much faster rate than fine-grained soils (细粒土) such as silts and clays.

3. The need of consolidation theory固结理论的重要性 Most settlement in engineering is because of consolidation • Tilting of Piza Tower is due to differential settlement (不平均沉降引起塔的倾斜) • Two important questions for consolidation problems (两个重要问题) • How much ? (沉降有多少) • How long ? (时间有多久) Piza Tower, Italy

4. Examples Initial condition (初始状况) Loading (荷载) at time = 0 Loading (荷载) at time = T Static pore water pressure (静孔隙水压力) Earth dam (土堤) Excess pore water pressure (超孔隙水压力)

5. 4.2 1-D consolidation test (单向固结试验) Consolidation is a three-dimensional (三维) process, but the direction of flow of water is primarily vertical (主要在竖向) or one-dimensional (1-D). s’z s’z Simplify vy 简单化 vx vz vz (water flow)

7. hf ’f 1. Time – related consolidation (固结与时间关系) For each load increment (每一个荷载增量)

8. 2. 1-D compression curve (单向压缩曲线) Compression curve (压缩曲线) Loading (加载) Unloading and Reloading (卸载与再加载) where v is change in vertical strain (竖向应变增量),h is the change in height for each loading increment (每次荷载增量的高度改变) and H0 is the initial specimen height (样本初始高度) Re-compression curve (回弹曲线)

9. e0 e1 ’v0 ’v1 (1)Coefficient of volume compressibility [体积压缩系数] (mv) No lateral strain (侧向应变为零) where vol is volumetric strain (体积应变增量), ’v is change in vertical effective stress (应力增量) and e0 is initial void ratio (初始孔隙比)

10. Example (例子) How about a100-200

11. (2)Other compressibility parameters其它压缩参数 Low compresibility Mid compresibility High compresibility

12. Oedometric modulus [侧限压缩模量] (Es) is defined as the ratio of vertical effective stress (’z) over vertical strain (z) under zero lateral strain condition ,which reflects the capability of the soil resisting against compressive deformation,and shown as follows: From generalised Hooke’s law [广义虎克定律], elastic strains [弹性应变] in x, y and z directions are expressed as follows:

13. where E is Young’s modulusor elastic modulus [弹性模量]. E represents the stess to strain ratio without confined latral strain. In 1-D consolidation, ex = ey = 0，we get: soil is not ideal elastic material,above equation is only an approximate formula.

15. 4.3 Calculation formulae of soil compression with zero lateral strain 土的压缩量计算

17. 4.4 SettlementCalculation沉降计算 Settlement found in soil due to loading may be divided into three categories: where St is total settlement (总沉降), Si is immediate settlement (瞬时沉降) – [elastic deformation, 弹性变形], Sc is primary consolidation (主固结沉降) – [change of ’, 有效应力改变] and Ss is secondary consolidation (次固结沉降) – [time, 时间]

18. 1。 Immediate settlement 瞬时沉降 • Immediate after loading (加荷後立即发生) • No volume change (体积不变) because time is too short to drain away pore-water • Vertical settlement induces lateral expansion (侧向变形) • If no lateral expansion, Si = 0 Similar to rubber (橡皮)

19. Based on elastic theory (弹性理论) where p is the pressure at the bottom of the foundation (基底压力), b is width of the foundation (基础的宽度) [shorter side of a rectangle (钜形的短边) or diameter of a circle (圆形的直径)], E is Young’s modulus (弹性模量),  is Poisson’s ratio (泊松比) and I is influence factor (影响系数).

20. hf ’f 2 。Primary consolidation 主固结沉降 • Primary consolidation is the settlement due to the gradual dissipation of the pore water from the saturated soils or gradual increase in effective stress (有效应力的增加). • It is calculated from the following two methods: • e : ’ curve • e : log ’ curve

21. * e --’ curve method

24. Calculate stress of every layers Two situation for calculation load Consolidated under self-weight No-consolidated under self-weight Look for e1i\e2i Calculate settlement of every layers

26. 4.5 Effect of stress history 应力历史 where OCR is overconsolidation ratio (超固结比), ’v iscurrent effective stress (现今有效应力) and ’vmax is maximum past effective stress (过去最大有效应力) or pre-consolidation pressure [’c] (前期固结压力) • OCR = 1 Normally consolidated [NC] soil (正常固结土) • OCR > 1 Overconsolidated [OC] soil (超固结土)
