An Improved Expression of Safety Factor for Soil Slope
Lei Shengyou, Hui Huiqing, Chen Lianguo
2020, 34(4): 187-190. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1007-2993.2020.04.001
Abstract:
Based on the shear strength of cohesive soil, the shear strength expression of soil divided by the safety factor is incontradiction with the Coulomb criterion. Only the frictional resistance of the shear strength expression is reduced in the improved expression, thus constructing a new strength reduction formula for cohesive soil which conforms to the Coulomb criterion. In this way, a new slope stability factor expression is derived. Then the expression is used to calculate the safety factors of seventeen soil slopes. The results show that the values of safety factor of soil slopes calculated with the new expression are 0.22%~25.05% smaller than those in the current textbooks, which is safer for engineering projects. In comparison,the proposed new safety factor expression of soil slope is more reasonable. This improved expression has reference value for related engineering analysis.

Li Chao, Xiao Jingze, Liu Yu, He Jing, Zhou Yuanxin
2020, 34(4): 191-195. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1007-2993.2020.04.002
Abstract:
At present, the vibrating wire soil pressure gauge and the resistance-type soil pressure gauge are widely used. However, there are some disadvantages, such as high cost, poor anti electromagnetic interference and low survival rate of the instrument. Moreover, the test data are easy to be distorted and it is difficult to accurately measure the soil pressure. Based on BOTDR, a soil pressure pipe for soil pressure monitoring is designed. The structural characteristics and measuring principle of the soil pressure pipe are introduced, and its pressure and temperature calibration tests are carried out. In the outdoor field, the pressure pipe is buried 25 m underground by the method of drilling directly, and the field measurement is carried out to obtain the data. The comparison with the data of vibrating wire soil pressure gauge and the calculated value shows that the method is effective.

2020, 34(4): 201-205. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1007-2993.2020.04.004
Abstract:
Soft plastic red clay covers the limestone. The change of surrounding environment easily leads to the connection and flow between red clay and karst cave, which could result in karst geological disasters such as ground subsidence, and brings serious safety risks to the construction and operation of metro tunnels as well as the surrounding environment. Taking the Dahualing Station to Jiangxiaketing Station of Zhifang Line (Line 27) of Wuhan Metro as an example, the distribution and development characteristics of red clay and karst are summarized in combination with special karst investigation. On this basis, the treatment measures of red clay and karst are put forward. Practice proves that these measures ensure the construction safety and operation safety of metro shield tunnel, and achieve the expected results, which could be reference in similar projects.

Cui Yajun, Wang Fajun, He Peng, Zheng Chengcheng, Wang Fengju
2020, 34(4): 211-216. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1007-2993.2020.04.006
Abstract:
Due to the variability of geomechanical parameters and the limit of the obtained data information, the existing uncertainty analysis method for the stability of gravity retaining wall is difficult to reflect the true safety performance and failure level. The Information-Gap theory (Info-Gap) is introduced to the existing analysis method for the stability of retaining wall. Firstly, based on the analysis about the allowable change range of these uncertain variables and its measure method, a robust reliability evaluation model for uncertainty analysis of stability about gravity retaining wall is established. Secondly, based on the response output model to the stabilization and security function of gravity retaining wall, the robust reliability index is obtained by interval combination algorithm. Consequently, the robust design approach of gravity retaining wall is established based on Info-Gap theory. To demonstrate the effectiveness and significance of the proposed robust design methodology, an illustrative example is followed. A comparative study was made of the design on the basis of the robust design methodology and reliability-based design methodology. The proposed methodology affords a novel approach for the reliability assessment of retaining wall when the uncertain information is unavailable or scarce.

Zhang Qinxi, Zhang Xuedong, Zhang Zhihong, Jiang Yuxiao
2020, 34(4): 238-242. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1007-2993.2020.04.012
Abstract:
To determine the optimum ratio of arsenic-contaminated soil with different concentrations, SP-MOC curing of arsenic-contaminated soil and toxicity leaching test are carried out in the relocation of a chemical plant in Jiangsu Province. The change law of moisture content, pH value and leaching concentration of solidified body under different curing agent ratios are investigated, and the effect of curing age on leaching concentration is analyzed. The results show that the moisture content of the solidified body is negatively correlated with the curing age, and the pH value of the solidified body increases with the increase of the curing agent content, reaching the maximum pH value when the curing age is 14 days. With the increase of arsenic pollution concentration, the ratio of needed curing agent increases. When the background value of arsenic is 90 mg/kg, 188 mg/kg, 275 mg/kg, and 339 mg/kg, the curing agent ratios satisfying the leaching limit are 3%, 5%, 8%, and 8%, respectively. The leaching concentration decreases first and then increases slightly with the increase of curing agent content. When the content of curing agent is 8%, the leaching concentration reaches the minimum. The leaching concentration decreases with the increase of curing age, and reaches the minimum after 14 days of curing.
