    LIU Xiongjun, WANG Yongzhong
    2012, 26 (5):  40-42. 
    Abstract ( 2599 )   Save
    With ANSYS finite element software, a 2D finite element model of towerbase was developed to study the deformation characteristic of transmissiontowerbase and foundation based on coupled thermalstructural analysis by simulating the extreme low temperatures. In the simulation, constant load was applied on the transmissiontowerbase, which was the actual biggest load transmissiontowerbase experience in the extreme snow and ice conditions in Southern China in 2008, then the temperature was changed to four different conditions. The simulated results show that: because of frost heaving of soilrock mass, the towerbase has a little upheaval, when surface temperature is below zero.  With lowering of the surface temperature, the degree of upheaval increases. Stress concentration appears around the foundation base, with the biggest shear stress at the outside of the right towerbase. Therefore, the biggest vertical displacement occurs at outside of the right towerbase and the smallest occurs at outside of the left towerbase. The horizontal displacement of towerbase changes is also obvious with a potential sliding surface formed.

    2012, 26 (5):  69-71. 
    Abstract ( 1881 )   Save
    The combined transient saturatedunsaturated seepage analysis and slope stability analysis were used study the effect of rainfall event on the stability of a high fill slope. Vadose field of slope is simulated for different rainfall duration conditions. The research results indicate that change of the pore water pressure is mainly concentrated in the location where the water level changes in the process of rainfall. After the rainfall pore water pressure gradually dissipates. Rainfall duration has great effect on the slope stability. With the rainfall duration increases the factor of safety for slope stability decreases. The factor of safety decreases in the process of rainfall, but after rainfall, it increases gradually. The longer the rainfall duration, the longer it takes for the factor of safety to recover.

    2012, 26 (5):  82-84. 
    Abstract ( 2328 )   Save
    Besides the strength reduction technique in slope stability analysis using Finite Element Method (FEM), another popular FEM method is to define the factor of safety as the ratio of resisting force to the driving force along a proposed slip surface. It is observed that some unreasonable results might be occurred under this definition. This paper compares the analytic solutions on the specified slip surface of a pure clay slope with the FEM results. The results show that the Poisson's Ratio has a great influence on the factors of safety obtained with FEM approach. The factor of safety obtained from the FEM is in consistent with the analytic solution when the Poisson's Ratio is close to 0.5.

    Abstract ( 2142 )   Save
    The dynamic triaxial test model was established aiming on the longterm dynamic deformation stability problems of the high speed railway subgrade that made of group A, B crushed stone fillers based on the shorttime indoor dynamic triaxial test and the working conditions of the high speed railway subgrade. The dynamic modulus and damping ratio test was conducted for the bed bottom and subgrade body of the group A, B crushed stone fillers. Then, we concluded that the compaction degree, confined pressure are the main influential factors of dynamic modulus and damping ratio. Finally, we established the correlation model of dynamic modulus, damping ratio and dynamic shear strain by considering the influence of compaction degree and the confined pressure. It is confirmed that the dynamic stressstrain relationships can be described using the modified HardinDrnevich model. This is of great significance for the indepth study of longterm dynamic deformation stability of high speed railway.
