Experiment Study of Loess-filled Embankment under Dynamic Compaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
To investigate the dynamic compaction mechanism of loess-filled embankment, a computational model of unit volume compaction effort was proposed as compared with the compaction test. The energy level of dynamic compaction used in actual projects was also considered. The differences between the compaction test and the unit volume compaction effort in the actual projects were studied. And also, the unit volume compaction efforts of the main tamping point and the whole reinforcement scope were analyzed. It can be drawn out that the compaction criterion should be chosen based on the water content of loess on site. Based on the model test, the laws of acceleration, velocity and displacement under the dynamic impact of hammer on the loess-filled embankment were analyzed in our study. The whole process also perfectly explained the movement history of hammer under dynamic compaction and the work-energy conversion efficiency of dynamic compaction.

Sand compaction piles are used in practice for ground improvement of soft subsoil in order to accelerate consolidation, reduce compressibility, and increase strength. The current design procedure of sand compaction piles is based on simple empirical calculations, which does not take full account of the sand pile behaviour. This research project investigates the behaviour of a base reinforced em...

In recent years, the ground penetrating radar (GPR) is increasingly used in the detection of riprap embankments. In order to analyze the costal embankment with explosive compaction, model experiments are conducted to investigate the influence of seawater on the signal and image of GPR, especially to figure out the image variation of riprap bottom boundary. The influence of immersion of seawater...

This paper investigates the parametric study of the empty and foam-filled end-capped tubes under quasi static and dynamic loadings. The numerical crash analysis of the empty and foam-filled tubes was performed using the explicit finite element code ABAQUS- explicit. Satisfactory agreements were generally achieved between the numerical and experimental results. In order to determine the crash be...
