Consolidation Behavior

Abstract. There are many factors causing land subsidence, and groundwater extraction is one of the most important causes of subsidence. A set of coupled partial differential equations are derived in this study by using the poro-elasticity theory and linear stress-strain constitutive relation to describe the one-dimensional consolidation in a saturated porous medium subjected to pore water pressure change due to groundwater table depression. Simultaneously, the closed-form analytical solutions for excess pore water pressure and total settlement are obtained. To illustrate the consolidation behavior of the poroelastic medium, the saturated layer of clay sandwiched between two sand layers is simulated, and the dimensionless pore water pressure changes with depths and the dimensionless total settlement as function of time in the clay layer are examined. The results show that the greater the water level change in the upper and lower sand layers, the greater the pore water pressure change and the total settlement of the clay layer, and the more time it takes to reach the steady state. If the amount of groundwater replenishment is increased, the soil layer will rebound.

Anchor Plates

Floating offshore structures used to generate wind energy are founded on submerged foundations such as anchor plates. Their extraction resistance is of major importance during and at the end of the lifetime cycle of these offshore structures. During their lifetime cycle, the foundation is suspended to complex loading conditions due to waves, tidal currents and wind loads. To guarantee a stable structure, the extraction resistance of the anchor plates has to be known. At the end of the lifetime cycle of the offshore structures, the extraction resistance is mainly influencing the removal of the anchor plates. This resistance is a lot higher than the sum of its self-weight and hydrostatic and earth pressure acting on the structure. With initiation of a motion of the anchor plate, the volume underneath this structure is increased leading to negative pore water pressure until inflowing pore water is filling the newly created volume. In order to investigate this effect, an extensive experimental study at model scale with a displacement-driven extraction is performed. Pore pressure measurements are carried out at various locations in the soil body and underneath the plate. The soil movement is tracked with a high-speed camera to investigate the shear band formation with the particle image velocimetry method (PIV). The experiments will be conducted considering different packing densities of the soil body and at different extraction velocities to investigate their effect on the extraction resistance of anchor plates.

Conventional Manner

During the placement of fine-grained cemented mine backfill, the high placement rates and low permeability often result in undrained self-weight loading conditions, when assessed in the conventional manner. However, hydration of the cement in the backfill results in a net volume reduction—the volume of the hydrated cement is less than the combined volume of the cement and water prior to hydration. Though the volume change is small, it occurs in conjunction with the increasing stiffness of the cementing soil matrix, and the result in certain circumstances can be a significant reduction in pore-water pressure as hydration proceeds. In this paper, the implications of this phenomenon in the area of cemented mine backfill are explored. An analytical model is developed to quantify this behaviour under undrained boundary conditions. This model illustrates that the pore-water pressure change is dependent on the amount of volume change associated with the cement hydration, the incremental stiffness change of the soil, and the porosity of the material. Experimental techniques for estimating key characteristics associated with this mechanism are presented. Testing undertaken on two different cement–minefill combinations indicated that the rate of hydration and volumes of water consumed during hydration were unique for each cement–tailings combination, regardless of mix proportions.
