Strain rate and temperature have important effects on the behaviour of soils. The present paper enhances the thermoviscoplastic modelling of soils by taking advantage of the most recent understanding of the effects of temperature and strain rate on soils. In particular, modelling of the evolution of the vertical yield stress at any void ratio is made possible with the use of an advanced model for the dependence of vertical yield stress on temperature, as well as the use of the unique effective stress–strain – strain rate concept. The first part of the paper presents an overview of the experimental and constitutive theoretical works performed on the effects of strain rate and temperature. The second part describes a strain rate and temperature coupled model, and the third part deals with the numerical validation of the proposed model.

Thaw Consolidation

A one-dimensional model for the consolidation of thawing soils is formulated in terms of large-strain consolidation and heat-transfer equations. The model integrates heat transfer due to conduction, phase change, and advection. The hydromechanical behaviour is modelled by large-strain consolidation theory. The equations are coupled in a moving boundary scheme developed in Lagrangian coordinates. Finite strains are allowed and nonlinear effective stress – void ratio – hydraulic conductivity relationships are proposed to characterize the thawing soil properties. Initial conditions and boundary conditions are presented with special consideration for the moving boundary condition at the thaw front developed in terms of large-strain consolidation. The proposed model is applied and compared with small-strain thaw consolidation theory in a theoretical working example of a thawing fine-grained soil sample. The modelling results are presented in terms of temperature, thaw penetration, settlements, void ratio, and excess pore-water pressures.

AbstractThe effects of strain rate and temperature on the yield strength of near-stoichiometric Fe2AlMn single crystals were investigated. In the temperature range 600-800K the yield stress increased with increasing temperature, a response commonly referred to as a yield strength anomaly. No strain rate sensitivity was observed below 750K, but at higher temperatures the yield stress increased with increasing strain rate. Possible mechanisms to explaining the effects of temperature and strain rate are discussed.

To analyze the effects of strain rate and viscoplastic strain on consolidation of natural clay, this paper presents a nonlinear viscoplastic model in which viscoplastic behaviour is modeled by a unique effective stress (σ'v) – viscous strain (εv) – viscous strain rate (ε·v) relationship. The proposed model can consider the effects of strain rate and viscoplastic strain on consolidation, to take into account the difference in strain rate between laboratory and field conditions, and the combined processes of generation and dissipation of pore pressure during consolidation. This model can also predict the behaviour of clay during stepwise loading, constant rate of strain, and relaxation of effective stress. The predicted values using numerical analysis are compared with measured values in laboratory tests and in situ, under an embankment built on soft clay at Berthierville, Quebec. It is possible to estimate the consolidation behaviour of natural clay with reasonable accuracy using the proposed nonlinear viscoplastic model.Key words: consolidation, soft clay, strain rate, viscoplastic, relaxation.

Consolidation Analysis

Hansbo’s flow model for one-dimensional consolidation analysis of saturated clay has been widely recognized as being the most representative for soft soils. Many studies have used the model to examine the characteristics of soil under various conditions. However, very few studies have considered soil under cyclic loading. In this study, using a Hansbo’s flow model and assuming known characteristics for soft clay deformation and rebound and recompression of soil, the one-dimensional consolidation model of soft clay under cyclic loading is established. A FlexPDE solution scheme with excess pore pressure u and void ratio e as variables is also given. The reliability of the proposed method is verified by comparing the obtained results with existing results. On this basis, the consolidation characteristics of soft clay foundations under unilateral drainage and cyclic loading are studied. The effects of soil rebound and recompression characteristics, Hansbo’s flow parameters, cyclic loading period, and cyclic loading form on the consolidation characteristics of soft clay foundation are analyzed. The results show that under cyclic loading, the effective stress, void ratio, and average consolidation degree of the foundation all present a cyclic state and gradually enter a stable cyclic state with the increase in cycles. The peak of effective stress lags behind the peak of cyclic load. The rebound and recompression characteristics of soil have little effect on the effective stress of soil but a great effect on the void ratio. In contrast to its characteristic under linear loading, the average consolidation degree of the foundation under cyclic loading finally enters a stable cyclic state. The results of the analysis can be used as a reference in the analysis of real life highways, railways, subway tunnels built on soft soil foundations subjected to periodic cyclic loading.

The effect of soil microstructure on the compressibility of natural Singapore marine clay is studied in this paper. It was found that natural Singapore marine clay can sustain higher void ratio than reconstituted Singapore marine clay at the same effective stress in one-dimensional compression. This difference is most noticeable between yield stress and two times the yield stress. This void ratio difference is commonly attributed to soil microstructure, and the decrease in this difference at higher stresses is attributed to progressive destructuration. As a consequence of progressive destructuration, the virgin compression curve is nonlinear and the compression index along the virgin compression range is variable, which is only noticeable during the constant rate of strain consolidation test on high-quality samples. In the absence of high-quality samples and constant rate of strain consolidation tests, an empirical method is proposed to obtain a first-order estimation of a nonlinear virgin compression curve using index properties and yield stress. This paper demonstrates that the proposed method works reasonably well with natural Singapore marine clay. The error bound for the predicted compression indices is approximately ±20% of the compression indices measured with constant rate of strain test on high-quality samples.

The constitutive modeling of aluminum alloy under warm forming conditions generally considers the influence of temperature and strain rate. It has been shown by published flow stress curves of Al-Mg alloy that there is nearly no effect of strain rate on initial yield stress at various temperatures. However, most constitutive models ignored this phenomenon and may lead to inaccurate description. In order to capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, Peric model is modified via introducing plastic strain to multiply the strain rate, for eliminating the effect of strain rate when the plastic strain is zero. Other constitutive models including the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric are also considered and compared. The results show that the modified Peric model could not only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress, but also capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, while the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric model can only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress. Moreover, the modified Peric model could obtain proper static yield stress more naturally, and this property may have potential applications in rate-dependent simulations.
