Translation - English A Bearing Capacity Problem - Progressive Failure of a Cement-Treated Soil
ABSTRACT
In this study, undrained bearing capacity analysis of a cement-treated soil was conducted by means of GEOASIA, which is a soil-water coupled finite deformation analysis program. The mechanical behavior of cement-treated soil was reproduced with the super/subloading yield surface modified Cam-clay model (SYS Cam-clay model), which can describe changes in the skeleton structure (structure, overconsolidation and anisotropy). The calculation result demonstrates the progressive failure that accompanies strain localization in a soil composed of a brittle material without extra methods such as, intentional softening of the constitutive model or use of some finite elements to allow discontinuous deformation, in order to elicit strain localization. In addition, an example of undrained bearing capacity analysis of a naturally deposited clay soil using the same program was taken up from previous studies, and the differences in process of failure between the two soils were compared. The two distinctive modes of bearing capacity failure represented by the above results are summarized as follows.
(1) Failure can progress along with extending slip lines from the corners of a foundation. At this time, the elements on the slip lines start softening sequentially. Even if the soil is composed of brittle material, such material properties do not always appear openly in the bearing capacity characteristics in the case of failure progressing in the above manner.
(2) On the other hand, there are instances where circular slip lines appear at once, followed by development of strain localization. In such cases, all elements on the slip lines soften almost at the same time as when the bearing capacity load reaches its peak. As a result, the vertical load can decrease appreciably even if the soil is composed of a ductile material.
