INVITEES

Bishop Lecture (9:00~9:45, Nov. 17th)

Honoring the life and work of Prof. Alan W. Bishop

The Bishop Lecture will be presented at IS-Buenos Aires 2015 with the sponsorship of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE; TC101) to honor the contributions and achievements of Professor Alan W. Bishop in the field of geotechnical engineering.

Professor Alan W. Bishop, MA Ph.D. DIC DCs (1920~1988) was a British geotechnical engineer and an academic at Imperial College, London. He is remembered for Bishop's method of analyzing soil slopes and earth dams. After his graduation from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Prof. Bishop worked under Prof. Alec Skempton, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1952 with his thesis title being ‘The Stability of Earth Dams’. He worked extensively in the field of experimental soil mechanics and developed apparatuses for soil testing, such as the triaxial test. His contributions to science have been widely acknowledged. In 1966, he was invited to deliver the 6th Rankine Lecture of the British Geotechnical Association. This was entitled ‘The Strength of Soils as Engineering Materials’.

Prof. Herve Di Benedetto (University of Lyon, France) is invited to become the first Bishop lecturer in this symposium. Prof Di Benedetto will provide his precious knowledge to pick up the mantle of the honor and academic legacy of Prof. Alan W. Bishop.

Prof. Di Benedetto’s research focuses on the study of mechanical, thermo-mechanical and structural behaviour of geomaterials, including experimental and modeling aspects. He is working in the fields of soils mechanics and road engineering, working in closing the gap between these two disciplines.

Multiphysical Behaviour of Shales

Abstract

The involvement of shales in new energy-related fields such as the extraction of gas shale and shales oil, the deep geothermal energy capture, the sequestration of CO2 and the nuclear waste geological storage, has raised a new and growing interest in the geomechanical behaviour of the material. In this context, fundamental issues come along with the complex multiphysical conditions in which the geomaterial is found where temperature, chemistry and unsaturated conditions play a major role. As a consequence the study of the coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical (THCM) behaviour of shales is strongly sought.

This keynote lecture introduces the most recent advances in the experimental testing and modelling of the THCM behaviour of shales. Such testing under complex multiphysical conditions comes along with the need to develop advanced experimental tools and techniques to reproduce the extreme multiphysical conditions experienced by shales in the context of the latest engineering developments. The lecture addresses the devices developed and methodologies established to study the water retention properties of shales, the water and gas transport properties, the 1D volumetric behaviour, the thermo-mechanical couplings, the impact of the pore water composition on the mechanical response and the unsaturated behaviour of shales. A workflow established for the analysis of the water retention behaviour in non-isochoric conditions is introduced; the method allows for the determination of the main drying and wetting paths and of the volume change response upon total suction variations. A high-pressure oedometric cell is also presented; the apparatus allows for the analysis of the transition from the pre-yield behaviour to the normally consolidated state. The analysis of the settlement versus time curves yields information on the consolidation, the permeability and the creep of the material as a function of the void ratio. The device has being equipped with additional tools to study the volumetric behaviour of shales in non-isothermal conditions and with different pore fluid chemical compositions. An advance thermo-hydro-mechanical triaxial apparatus is also introduced; the cell allows to study the THMC behaviour of shales at high stresses, high temperatures and in unsaturated conditions. The test results are illustrated for three Mesozoic shales.

Based on the identified physical mechanisms, the last part of the lecture addresses the theoretical framework developed for reproducing and predicting the THCM behaviour of Shales. A constitutive model that couples elastic, plastic and damage theories is developed. The framework of continuum damage mechanics allows to account for the degradation of the elastic parameters with strains, while the coupling with plasticity correctly reproduces the irreversible strains typical of hard clayey materials. The yield surfaces (one for damage and one for plasticity) are postulated and the evolution equations of the internal variables are derived throughout the application of normality rule. Thermodynamic consistency of the model is investigated. The strain hardening plastic behavior is described with a non-linear yield function and is coupled with an isotropic damage model suitable for brittle and quasi-brittle geomaterials. The model is integrated with an implicit scheme that guarantees convergence and accuracy. Numerical simulations carried out with the proposed model in triaxial conditions well reproduced observed behavior from experimental investigation of shale.

Limitations of a Critical State Framework Applied to the Strength and Deformation of Natural and Transitional Soils.

Abstract

Critical state soil mechanics has provided an invaluable framework, essential for a proper understanding of the mechanics of many soils, both reconstituted and natural, at both small and larger strains. However, in recent years limitations in its applicability have appeared for a wide range of soils, both as a result of continued particle breakage and from robust forms of fabric, which in extreme cases can even lead to “transitional” behaviour in which the initial soil density plays a major role. A review will be made of recent research, illustrating where modifications to a critical state framework are necessary to cope with these factors and showing that while these forms of behaviour need not threaten our use of critical state soil mechanics, our definitions of the effects of structure may need to be revised.

Rockfill mechanics. Experimental observations and DEM modeling

Abstract

Particle breakage explains the specific features of rockfill behaviour. Relevant features concern the dilatant behaviour under increasing confining stress, the long term deformations (creep) and the response under changes in relative humidity (RH). RH effects on deformation are well known in practice and result in marked collapse behaviour of rockfill structures as a consequence of full or partial saturation.

The lecture will first present an ordered set of experimental results. The following aspects will be introduced: Suction effects on compressibility and yielding of compacted gravel specimens of different nature and grain size distribution, delayed creep deformations under isotropic conditions, deviatoric behaviour, dilatancy and the evolution of grain size distribution. These results sets the ground for the presentation and discussion of a Distinct Element model developed in an attempt to create a “numerical” laboratory capable of predicting real behaviour. The model includes particle shapes which reproduce, in a reasonable manner, the irregular shape of real rock fragments. Particle breakage is introduced as a fundamental deformation mechanism. Unlike other approximations reported in the literature, particle breakage was approached from the perspective offered by fracture mechanics. Particle breakage is the consequence of the propagation of pre-existing cracks. Crack propagation velocity of each individual particle is approximated by means of analytical solutions. Delayed deformations are a natural consequence of the model and the effect of RH can also be introduced in a simple manner.

The process of parameter determination will be discussed with specific reference to large diameter oedometer and triaxial tests.

Shear strength and stiffness anisotropy of geologically aged stiff clays

Abstract

This work considers the deformation behaviour of four geologically aged, medium-plasticity, heavily overconsolidated stiff clays that affect a broad swathe of infrastructure projects in the SE of the United Kingdom. Static triaxial and hollow cylinder stress path experiments on high quality samples are examined along with dynamic multi-axial bender element and resonant-column measurements. Patterns of undrained shear strength anisotropy are revealed that are governed by the clays’ meso and micro-structures. The clays are brittle in shear and their stiffness characteristics are shown to be markedly anisotropic, highly non-linearand pressure dependent. The results obtained have many implications for practical geotechnical engineering.

Measurement and Application of Shear Wave Velocity to Various Geotechnical Problems

Abstract

Recently, great emphasis is placed on the control of structural deformation rather than on the safety factor and a stiffness not a strength is a controlling factor in design toassure the serviceability and performance. The shear wave velocity (Vs), which is directly related to the small strain shear modulus, Gmax, can be measured by both field and laboratory tests and has a great potential in the applications of various geotechnical problems. Soil exhibit nonlinear stress-strain behavior from very small strains and the reliable strain dependent modulus is usually determined by combining Gmax obtained from field seismic test and G/Gmax curve from the laboratory test. Therefore, the Vsis a key soil parameter for the deformation analysis of geotechnical structures.

In this paper, the advantages of using Vs in geotechnical applications are discussed, and the main features of various intrusive and non-intrusive Vs measuring techniques in the field, resonant column and bender element tests in the laboratory, and bender tomography in centrifuge model are summarized. Test results obtained by various field tests, laboratory element tests, and centrifuge models are compared and critically discussed considering parameters affecting soil stiffness as well as reliability of test result. The Vs has been applied to the various geotechnical problems including not only traditional earthquake related problems but also static deformation analysis. In this study, threecases of using Vs to geotechnical problems are introduced: 1) settlement prediction of shallow foundation using Vs profile, 2) evaluation resilient modulus using Vs measurement, and 3) evaluation of ground improvement using Vs profiles. The background theory, detailed procedure, laboratory and field tests, physical modeling, and field case studies for each application are discussed.

Advances in soil characterization by complementing laboratory and field tests methods

Abstract

Laboratory tests are well recognized as highly appropriate for the definition of the geomechanical parameters of soils in view of the good definition of constitutive laws for modelling geotechnical engineering problems. The strong development of advanced techniques, both in equipment and in data management, has allowed the increase of confidence in such approach, while the limitation due quality of sampling of soils in depth, for one side, and the spatial representativeness of the recoiled samples, make them less consensual. Still, the development of new methods for assuring high quality samples (such as gel-push samplers or new fixed piston samplers) is increasing and the quality of these samples can be very well evaluated recurring to measurements of shear waves propagation velocities in lab (using Bender Elements, Shear Plates or similar) and comparing with the corresponding in situ values.

The broad capacity that surface wave methods, such as multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) or Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI), for evaluating ground stiffness in 1D, 2D and 3D, will facilitate a good mapping of these distribution in ground and make these comparisons practical, even when there are no other more intrusive methods (CH, SCPT, SDMT, etc.).The large development of interpretation methods of in situ tests for ground characterization has also evolved, increasing the confidence in these methods, mostly because of their versatility to cover large areas in site and the fact that they are in principle executed in the real state (physical and stress) conditions. Additionally, the correlation between in situ tests parameters and hydraulic and geomechanical properties have ameliorate, due to the effort of research to join the quality of data and theoretical approaches, like critical state soil mechanics.

Liquefaction triggering potential is an example where the coexistence of advanced field and lab processes will allow the reliability increase in risk assessment. However, the common techniques are associated, by one side, to stress-strain levels that can be very low, like in geophysical surveys, or on other side, very high deformations, well on failure level, like dynamic penetration. With this practice the complete range of stress-strain answer can be

lost. Exception can be pointed out to pressuremeter testing, speciallyunder selfboringinsertion, but these can be very time consuming and expensive.

On the other side, new research trends tend to use the same technologiesdealing with characterization on different scales (in element, layer and global characteristics), which is the case of the novel of approach of applying fiber optic distributed sensing for on-specimen strain measurement, or for in situ stiffness profiling, or back-analysis of ground displacements in geotechnical structures, such as in tunneling monitoring.

Stress-Strain Properties and Permeability of Compacted Soil Controlled by Dry Density and the Degree of Saturation

Abstract

Based on analyses of results from a comprehensive series of full-scale compaction tests, laboratory compaction and permeability tests and stress-strain tests on a wide variety of soil, the following is shown.

1) The conventional field compaction control has several basic drawbacks. That is, the maximum dry density (ρd)max increases and the optimum water content wopt decreases with an increase in the compaction energy level (CEL). Besides, since Proctor (1933) proposed the modern compaction theory that is still the standard practice all over the world, CEL available in the field has been increasing and a required compacted ρd value generally has been becoming higher to ensure satisfactory performance of an increasing number of important soil structures. On the other hand, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to accurately predict and estimate CEL in a given place at a given site. Therefore, accurate values of (ρd)max and wopt in a given place at a given site are actually unknown.

2) To overcome these drawbacks of the conventional method, based on the following findings with respect to the properties of compacted soil, it is proposed to control the values of ρd and the degree of saturation, Sr (not water content) in field compaction:

a) The value of Sr at which (ρd)max is attained at a given CEL is independent of CEL. This Sr value is called the optimum degree of compaction, (Sr)opt. The effects of soil type on the (Sr)opt value is rather small.

b) The shape of compaction curve plotted on the ρd - Sr plane is also rather independent of CEL, while rather insensitive to changes in the soil type, unlike conventional plots on the ρd - w plane.

c) For a given soil type, the results of CBR tests on compacted soils before and after soaking, the drained stress-strained properties of saturated soils and the hydraulic conductivity, k, of saturated soil are a function of ρd and the Sr value during compaction not including CEL as a variable.

MCI Buenos Aires



Page 26

In this (ρd & Sr) method, the target value of Sr is equal to (Sr)opt and the target value of ρd is determined so that required peak strength/stiffness or k or both are achieved under saturated conditions.
