Abstract An analytical solution was proposed for the groundwater flow through a defective pipe, which can be used to estimate the water flow rate into the pipe and predict the pore water pressure distribution in surrounding soils. This analytical solution was verified by comparing with experimental results, and the predicted pressure distribution around the defective pipe is proved to be consistent with numerical simulations using the finite element method. From the parametric analysis, the infiltration rate increases as the defect position changes from top to bottom on the pipe, and the effect of defect position is not significant if the water head above the defect is 10 times greater than pipe radius. An approximated solution for estimating the groundwater flow infiltration rate through a circular orifice on the pipe is proposed as well. From the verification and parametric studies, this proposed analytical solution is proved to be an efficient approach for the estimation of groundwater infiltration through a defective pipe.

Smooth Transition

This paper presents a three-dimensional slope stability limit equilibrium solution for translational planar failure modes. The proposed solution uses Bishop’s average skeleton stress combined with the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion to describe soil strength evolution under unsaturated conditions while its formulation ensures a natural and smooth transition from the unsaturated to the saturated regime and vice versa. The proposed analytical solution is evaluated by comparing its predictions with the results of the Ruedlingen slope failure experiment. The comparison suggests that, despite its relative simplicity, the analytical solution can capture the experimentally observed behaviour well and highlights the importance of considering lateral resistance together with a realistic interplay between mechanical parameters (cohesion) and hydraulic (pore water pressure) conditions.

Elliptical Contact

Hertz theory fails when contacting surfaces are expressed by a sum of even polynomials of higher powers than two. An alternative analytical solution implies the knowledge of contact area. In the case of elliptical domains, there are some published proposals for the correlation between pressure distribution and surface normal displacement. This paper identifies the class of high order surfaces which lead to elliptical contact domains and solves a contact between fourth order surfaces.

Abstract This paper investigates the responses of cohesive sediment to mechanical vibration by experimental observation, containing: (1) the dynamic soil pressure, dynamic pore water pressure and dynamic acceleration to the vibration source; (2) the soil pressure distribution in the near field centered in an artificial columnar vibration source. Under the mechanical vibration with a frequency of 200 Hz and an amplitude of 1.15 mm, the dynamic soil pressure, dynamic pore water pressure and dynamic acceleration of underwater viscous sediment were measured in the sediment of four different depositing conditions. Results of the dynamic soil pressure, dynamic pore water pressure and dynamic acceleration of underwater viscous sediment in the near field responding to artificial vibration source are exhibited and discussed. It is found that, excited by the sinusoidal vibrator, the soil pressure presents a response of statistical sinusoidal fluctuation with the same frequency to the vibration source. In the sediment of lower initial yield stresses, the soil pressure distribution distinctly tends to firstly increase and then decrease with distance. The amplitude of the soil pressure is attenuated exponentially with distance.

Drainage segment lining is a new structure type formed by setting up drainage holes on the conventional segment lining. Based on continuum fluid-solid coupling analysis model of fractured rock mass, the distribution patterns of water pressure behind the lining walls and in surrounding rock are studied under three kinds of water pressure, while the segment lining with double drainage holes at each side of one ring has been applied. The results show that the water pressure behind segment lining wall could be effectively reduced by setting up drainage holes, and the pressure distribution patterns are in horseshoe shape approximately. The reduction effect of water pressure is more and more obvious from the tunnel crown to the elevation where the drainage holes are provided. But the drainage hole leads to uneven distribution of water pressure, causing the increase of local moment. So, more attention should be paid to the drainage segment lining during design.
