Titre : Analysis of tunnel excavation in London : Clay incorporating soil structure Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : N. A. Gonzalez, Auteur ; M. Rouainia, Auteur ; M. Arroyo, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1095 –1109 Note générale : Génie Civil Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ground movements Numerical modelling Fabric/structure of soils Tunnels Résumé : Recent studies on London Clay have identified a number of different units in the geological profile, and have highlighted the role of soil structure in mechanical behaviour. In fact, structure is the dominant factor determining the differences in the mechanical response of different units. In the paper, numerical analyses simulating the undrained excavation of a tunnel in St James's Park are presented. London Clay behaviour is characterised by a kinematic-hardening structured soil model incorporating structure and stiffness degradation. The parameters and initial conditions are based on a careful calibration that takes into account the presence of different units within the London Clay formation and the different degrees of soil structure. The analyses performed result in a very satisfactory reproduction of the magnitude and patterns of short-term surface and subsurface displacements, as well as pore pressures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the results in the context of other analyses performed previously, and puts forward some considerations concerning design issues.

Titre : Cone penetration tests in a virtual calibration chamber Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : M. Arroyo, Auteur ; J. Butlanska, Auteur ; A. Gens, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 525–531 Note générale : Génie Civil Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Sands Laboratory testing In Situ Numerical modelling Index. décimale : 624 Constructions du génie civil et du bâtiment. Infrastructures. Ouvrages en terres. Fondations. Tunnels. Ponts et charpentes Résumé : A virtual calibration chamber was built using a three-dimensional model based on the discrete-element method. The chamber was then filled with a scaled granular equivalent of Ticino sand, the material properties of which were selected by curve-fitting triaxial tests. Cone penetration tests were then performed under different initial densities and isotropic stresses. Penetration resistance in the virtual calibration chamber was affected by the same cone/chamber size effect that affects physical calibration chambers and was corrected accordingly. The corrected cone resistance obtained from the virtual calibration chamber cone penetration tests shows good quantitative agreement with correlations that summarise previous physical results.
