Shakedown of Cohesive-frictional Non-homogeneous Soils under Moving Surface Loads

چکیده
ABSTRACT: In this paper, shakedown limits of non-homogeneous soils in a half-space under rolling and sliding surface loads are investigated. The inhomogeneity of the soil is described by a power law for the variation of Young’s modulus with the depth. Mohr-Coulomb criterion is employed to characterise the cohesive-frictional behaviour of the soil. Analytical solutions to the elastic stress field under Hertzian surface contact are derived and then used in conjunction with Melan’s shakedown theorem to compute the shakedown limits. The elastic graded effect of the soil on the various shakedown limits is investigated with reference to the corresponding homogeneous case. The results obtained can serve as benchmarks for future numerical shakedown analysis of pavements as well as valuable reference for practical design.

Shakedown analysis of soil materials based on an incremental approach
In this paper, an incremental technique based on cyclic loading is developed to implement shakedown analysis for soils in the framework of elastic-plastic analysis without utilization of the classical shakedown theorems. A finite element model together with the use of ABAQUS is established for soil structures subjected to cyclic loads, where the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion with associated plas...

Calculation of lateral earth pressure on retaining walls is one of the main issues in geotechnics. The upper and lower bound theorems of plasticity are used to analyze the stability of geotechnical structures include bearing capacity of foundations, lateral earth pressure on retaining walls and factor of safety of slopes. In this paper formulation of finite element limit analysis is introduced ...
متن کاملStress-dilatancy Relation for Mohr-Coulomb Soils Following a Non-Associated Flow Rule
Rowe's stress–dilatancy relation for frictional (cohesion-less) materials has been a cornerstone of soil mechanics. The original derivation of this relationship was based on incorrect energy minimisation considerations, but the relationship was proven later by De Josselin de Jong using friction laws, and has been confirmed by a large body of experimental results. In contrast, the validity of Ro...

In this paper, three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analysis was performed on flexible pavements under vertical repeated traffic loads to evaluate their shakedown behavior. Six different pavements with different structural number (SN) were modeled and subjected to a wide range of cyclic vehicle loads. Shakedown limits were obtained considering both failure and serviceability restrain...
متن کاملFrictional systems under periodic loads — History-dependence, non-uniqueness and energy dissipation
Nominally static contacts such as bolted or shrink-fit joints typically experience regions of microslip when subjected to oscillatory loading. This results in energy dissipation, reflected as apparent hysteretic damping of the system, and also may cause the initiation of fretting fatigue cracks. Early theoretical studies of the Hertzian contact problem by Cattaneo and Mindlin were confirmed exp...
