| 1 | Stability of active trapdoors in axisymmetry显示文摘Trapdoor stability has been widely studied by many researchers in the field of tunneling engineering.A general question being fre-quently asked is that why most sinkholes have a near-perfect circular shape on the ground surface.This could be possibly explained by the current numerical study using finite element limit analysis under axisymmetric condition,where upper and lower bound solutions of active circular trapdoors are determined.The failure study of sinkholes and the associated failure mechanisms in this paper are for non-homogeneous clay with a linear increase of strength with depth under various cover depth ratios and dimensionless strength gra-dients.A design equation for predicting the stability solutions is also developed based on the novel three dimensional solutions using axisymmetry. | Suraparb Keawsawasvong Jim Shiau | 2022 | Underground Space2022，7，1： | 1 |
| 2 | Undrained stability of pit-in-pit braced excavations under hydraulic uplift显示文摘Pit-in-pit(PIP)excavations in an aquifer–aquitard system likely undergo catastrophic failures under the hydraulic uplift,the associated undrained stability problem,however,has not been well analyzed in the past.To this end,a hypothetical model of PIP braced excavation in typical soil layers of Shanghai,China is developed using the finite element limit analysis(FELA)tool.The FELA solutions of safety factors(FSs)against hydraulic uplift are verified with the results from the finite element analysis with strength reduction technique(SRFEA)and existing design approaches.Subsequently,FELA is employed to identify the triggering and failure mechanisms of PIP braced excavations subjected to hydraulic uplift.A series of parametric studies considering the various geometric configurations of the PIP excavation,undrained shear strengths of aquitard,and artesian pressures are carried out.The sensitivities of relevant design parameters are further assessed using a multivariate adaptive regression splines(MARS)model that is capable of accurately capturing the nonlinear relationships between a set of input variables and output variables in multi-dimensions.A MARS-based design equation used for predicting FS is finally presented using the artificial dataset from FELA for practical design uses. | Fengwen Lai Fuquan Chen Songyu Liu Suraparb Keawsawasvong Jim Shiau | 2022 | Underground Space2022，7，6： | 1 |
| 3 | Limit load and failure mechanisms of a vertical Hoek-Brown rock slope显示文摘The problem considered in this short note is the limit load determination of a vertical rock slope.The classical limit theorem is employed with the use of adaptive finite elements and nonlinear programming to determine upper and lower bound limit loads of a Hoek-Brown vertical rock slope.The objective function of the mathematical programming problem is such as to optimize a boundary load,which is known as the limit load,resembling the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing.While focusing on the vertical slope,parametric studies are carried out for several dimensionless ratios such as the dimensionless footing distance ratio,the dimensionless height ratio,and the dimensionless rock strength ratio.A comprehensive set of design charts is presented,and failure envelopes shown with the results explained in terms of three identified failure mechanisms,i.e.the face,the toe,and the Prandtl-type failures.These novel results can be used with great confidence in design practice,in particularly noting that the current industry-based design procedures for the presented problem are rarely found. | Jim Shiau Warayut Dokduea Suraparb Keawsawasvong Pitthaya Jamsawang | 2024 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2024，16，3： | 0 |
| 4 | Multivariate adaptive regression splines analysis for 3D slope stability in anisotropic and heterogenous clay显示文摘Little research can be found in relation to the stability of anisotropic and heterogenous soils in three dimensions.In this paper,we propose a study on the three-dimensional(3D)undrained slopes in anisotropic and heterogenous clay using advanced upper and lower bounds finite element limit analysis(FELA).The obtained stability solutions are normalized,and presented by a stability number that is a function of three geometrical ratios and two material ratios,i.e.depth ratio,length ratio,slope angle,shear strength gradient ratio and anisotropic strength ratio.Numerical results are compared with experimental data in the literature,and charts are presented to cover a wide range of design parameters.Using the multivariate adaptive regression splines(MARS)analysis,the respective influence and sensitivity of each design parameter on the stability number and the failure mechanism are investigated.An empirical equation is also developed to effectively estimate the stability number. | Jim Shiau Van Qui Lai Suraparb Keawsawasvong | 2023 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2023，15，4： | 0 |
| 5 | Underground storage tank blowout analysis:Stability prediction using an artificial neural network显示文摘Most geotechnical stability research is linked to“active”failures,in which soil instability occurs due to soil self-weight and external surcharge applications.In contrast,research on passive failure is not common,as it is predominately caused by external loads that act against the soil self-weight.An earlier active trapdoor stability investigation using the Terzaghi’s three stability factor approach was shown to be a feasible method for evaluating cohesive-frictional soil stability.Therefore,this technical note aims to expand“active”trapdoor research to assess drained circular trapdoor passive stability(blowout condition)in cohesive-frictional soil under axisymmetric conditions.Using numerical finite element limit analysis(FELA)simulations,soil cohesion,surcharge,and soil unit weight effects are considered using three stability factors(Fc,Fs,and Fγ),which are all associated with the cover-depth ratio and soil internal friction angle.Both upper-bound(UB)and lower-bound(LB)results are presented in design charts and tables,and the large dataset is further studied using an artificial neural network(ANN)as a predictive model to produce accurate design equations.The proposed passive trapdoor problem under axisymmetric conditions is significant when considering soil blowout stability owing to faulty underground storage tanks or pipelines with high internal pressures. | Nhat Tan Duong Van Qui Lai Jim Shiau Rungkhun Banyong Suraparb Keawsawasvong | 2023 | Journal of Safety Science and Resilience2023，4，4： | 0 |
| 6 | Physics-based and data-driven modeling for stability evaluation of buried structures in natural clays显示文摘This study presents a hybrid framework to predict stability solutions of buried structures under active trapdoor conditions in natural clays with anisotropy and heterogeneity by combining physics-based and data-driven modeling.Finite-element limit analysis(FELA)with a newly developed anisotropic undrained shear(AUS)failure criterion is used to identify the underlying active failure mechanisms as well as to develop a numerical(physics-based)database of stability numbers for both planar and circular trapdoors.Practical considerations are given for natural clays to three linearly increasing shear strengths in compression,extension,and direct simple shear in the AUS material model.The obtained numerical solutions are compared and validated with published solutions in the literature.A multivariate adaptive regression splines(MARS)algorithm is further utilized to learn the numerical solutions to act as fast FELA data-driven surrogates for stability evaluation.The current MARS-based modeling provides both relative importance index and accurate design equations that can be used with confidence by practitioners. | Fengwen Lai Jim Shiau Suraparb Keawsawasvong Fuquan Chen Rungkhun Banyong Sorawit Seehavong | 2023 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2023，15，5： | 0 |
