Grouting Reinforcement

In order to realize the diffusion law of segmental grouting in muddy fault of tunnel engineering, a three-dimensional grouting diffusion simulation test has been done. Three times of grouting operation have been done for three adjacent sections in grouting pipe. Grouting pressure, injection rate, soil pressure field, and seepage pressure field have been real-time monitored in three grouting stages. The effect of segmental grouting operation on soil pressure field and effective stress field has been analyzed. Results show that previous grouting operation can affect later grouting operation. Due to previous grouting operation, the grouted stratum can be compacted and grouting diffusion will conquer greater resistance in later grouting stages. Correspondingly, grouting pressure increases and injection rate decreases in the later grouting stage. There exists a limited influence range for a single grouting operation. For every grouting stage, soil pressure and effective stress in the section which the injection hole locates in are affected effectively by grouting operation. By contrast, soil pressure and effective stress in section away from injection hole are affected relatively weakly by grouting operation. With distance to injection hole increasing, compaction degree and reinforcement effect of grouted muddy fault decay in space. Multisegmental grouting method has significant advantages over single grouting method. Ineffectively compacted area by previous grouting operation can be effectively compacted by later grouting operation from adjacent injection hole. As a result, uniformity of grouting reinforcement effect can be improved, and weakly reinforcement area can be reduced.

The Stability

When carrying out construction that underpasses existing subway tunnels, the surrounding rock is frequently disturbed. Therefore, it can loosen easily and become unstable, which makes its stability difficult to control. Here, we considered an existing subway tunnel in a certain subway section and used orthogonal experiments to design a simulation program as well as the UDEC (Universal Distinct Element Code) simulation software to determine the influences of four factors (i.e., grout density, grouting pressure, dynamic shear force, and viscosity) on the grouting reinforcement effect. The following results were obtained: (1) the combination of the construction method and the grouting parameters strongly influences the reinforcement effect on the surrounding rock of the tunnel. The grouting pressure is not directly proportional to the stability of the surrounding rock. The dynamic adjustment of the relationship between the grouting pressure and the grout density can effectively improve the stress state of the surrounding rock of the tunnel, control surface settlement and deformation, and reduce the section reduction rate of the tunnel. (2) The distribution of joints is closely related to the failure area and form of the surrounding rock of the tunnel. For surrounding rock with well-developed joint fissures, an excessively high grouting pressure should not be used as they are unstable. (3) The effective bearing range of grouting-reinforced surrounding rock is dependent on the pore pressure and principal stress difference. The area where the pore pressure is 70–80% of the initial grouting pressure is the effective bearing range of the grouting-reinforced surrounding rock. The stability of the surrounding rock increases with decreasing principal stress difference and increasing range. (4) The actual monitored data show that the surface settlement can be effectively reduced by handling of grouting reinforcement parameters flexibly, which can meet the control standards.

Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) is widely used for long-distance water pipelines throughout the world. However, prestressing wire breakage is the most common form of PCCP damage. For some pipelines that cannot be shut down, a new technique for in-service PCCP repair by externally bonding the pipe with layers of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) was proposed. A set of three-dimensional finite element models of the repaired PCCP have been proposed and implemented in the ABAQUS software, which took into account the soil pressure, the weight of the PCCP, the weight of the water, and the hydrostatic pressure. The stress–strain features of the PCCP repaired with CFRP of various thicknesses were analyzed. The stress–strain features of different wire breakage rates for the repaired PCCP were also analyzed. The results showed that the strains and stresses decreased at the springline if the PCCP was repaired with CFRP, which improved the operation of the PCCP. It has been found that the wire breakage rates had a significant effect on the strains and stresses of each PCCP component, but CFRP failed to reach its potential tensile strength when other materials were broken.

In this paper, a three-dimensional storm surge model was developed based on the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) by the hindcasts of four typhoon-induced storm surges (Chan-hom, Mireille, Herb, and Winnie). After model validation, a series of sensitivity experiments were conducted to explore the effects of key parameters in the wind and pressure field (forward speed, radius of maximum wind (RMW), inflow angle, and central pressure), typhoon path, wind intensity, and topography on the storm surge and surge asymmetry between sea level rise (positive surge) and fall (negative surge) along the southeastern coast of China (SCC). The model results show that lower central pressure and larger RMW could lead to stronger surge asymmetry. A larger inflow angle results in a stronger surge asymmetry. In addition, the path of Chan-hom is the most dangerous path type for the Zhoushan Archipelago area, and that of Winnie follows next. The model results also indicate that the non-linear interaction between wind field and pressure field tends to weaken the peak surge elevation. The effect of topography on storm surges indicates that the peak surge elevation and its occurrence time, as well as the surge asymmetry, increase with a decreasing slope along the SCC.

Abstract The stringent emission regulations diesel engines are required to meet has resulted in the usage of multi-hole and ultra-multi-hole injectors, nowadays. In this research study, a double layered 8-hole diesel injection nozzle was investigated both numerically and experimentally. A three-dimensional model of the nozzle which was validated with experimental results was used to analyze the injection characteristics of each hole. The validation was conducted by comparing experiment and simulation injection rate results, acquired simultaneously from all the holes of the injector and the model. The fuel flow rates of the lower layered holes are higher than those of the upper layered holes. Two different needle eccentricity models were established. The first model only included the lateral displacement of the needle during needle lift. The needle reached maximum displacement at full needle lift. The second model considered the needle inelastic deformation into consideration. The needle radially displaces and glides along with the needle seat surface during needle lift. When the eccentricity reached maximum in the radial direction, the needle began to lift upwards vertically. The differences in injection characteristics under the different eccentricity models were apparent. The results indicated that the cycle injection quantity, fuel injection rate and cavitation of each hole were affected during the initial lifting stages of the needle lift. As the eccentricity of the needle increases, the injection rate uniformity from the nozzle hole deteriorates. The result showed that the upper layered holes were affected by the needle eccentricity during needle lift.

This paper examines the performance of a novel technology, vertical steel floral tube micropiles with double grouting. It is the combination of micropile technology and double grouting technology. A large-scale model tank was applied to impart horizontal bearing capacity, and the slope soil pressure and flexural performance of the micropile were investigated under four experimental conditions. The peak grouting pressure during the double grouting process was defined as the fracturing pressure of the double grouting, and it was positively correlated to the interval time between first grouting and secondary grouting. Compared with traditional grouting, double grouting increased the horizontal bearing capacity of the single micropile with the vertical steel floral tube by 24.42%. The horizontal bearing capacity was also 20.25% higher for the structure with three micropiles, compared with a 3-fold value of horizontal sliding resistance. In the test, the maximum bending moment acting on the pile above the sliding surface was located 2.0–2.5 m away from the pile top, and the largest negative bending moment acting on the pile below the slip surface was located 4.0 m away from the pile top. The ultimate bending moment of the single pile increased by 12.8 kN·m with double grouting, and the bending resistance increased by 96.2%. The experimental results showed that the double grouting technology significantly improved the horizontal bearing capacity of the micropile with the steel floral tube, and the soil reinforcement performance between piles was more pronounced. Also, the shear capacity and the flexural capacity were significantly improved compared with the original technology.

Fluid Solid Interaction

Abstract Three-dimensional fluid-solid interaction problems with regard for thermal stresses are considered. An elastic structure is assumed to be a bounded homogeneous isotropic body occupying a domain , where the thermoelastic four dimensional field is defined, while in the unbounded exterior domain there is defined the scalar (acoustic pressure) field. These two fields satisfy the differential equations of steady state oscillations in the corresponding domains along with the transmission conditions of special type on the interface ∂Ω±. We show that uniqueness of solutions strongly depends on the geometry of the boundary ∂Ω±. In particular, we prove that for the corresponding homogeneous transmission problem for a ball there exist infinitely many exceptional values of the oscillation parameter (Jones eigenfrequencies). The corresponding eigenvectors (Jones modes) are written explicitly. On the other hand, we show that if the boundary surface ∂Ω± contains two flat, non-parallel sub-manifolds then there are no Jones eigenfrequencies for such domains.

Local Water

<p>1D-3D methods are used to describe root water and nutrient uptake in complex root networks. Root systems are described as networks of line segments embedded in a three-dimensional soil domain. Particularly for dry soils, local water pressure and nutrient concentration gradients can be become very large in the vicinity of roots. Commonly used discretization lengths (for example 1cm) in root-soil interaction models do not allow to capture these gradients accurately. We present a new numerical scheme for approximating root-soil interface fluxes. The scheme is formulated in the continuous PDE setting so that is it formally independent of the spatial discretization scheme (e.g. FVM, FD, FEM). The interface flux approximation is based on a reconstruction of interface quantities using local analytical solutions of the steady-rate Richards equation. The local mass exchange is numerically distributed in the vicinity of the root. The distribution results in a regularization of the soil pressure solution which is easier to approximate numerically. This technique allows for coarser grid resolutions while maintaining approximation accuracy. The new scheme is verified numerically against analytical solutions for simplified cases. We also explore limitations and possible errors in the flux approximation with numerical test cases. Finally, we present the results of a recently published benchmark case using this new method.</p>

The Impact

Three-dimensional finite difference calculations are proposed to investigate the influence of operation parameters of the shield machines during twin stacked tunnel excavation on the surface settlements. The numerical model is validated by experimental data obtained from Hochiminh’s metro line 1 project, used as a reference case in this study. The parametric study focuses on the influence of the face support pressure, the grouting pressure, and the shield’s length. The numerical results indicated that a decrease does not always follow an increase in surface settlements' face and grouting pressure. A shorter shield machine causes smaller surface settlements to develop over single lower and twin stacked tunnels.
