Abstract: 
In highway construction, filled embankments are trapezoidal, and the ground is always improved by sand wells or columns. During embankment construction, because the width and height of the embankment are changing, a non-uniform load that varies with time and lateral location is applied to the underlying ground. The consolidation phenomenon under two-dimensional (2D) conditions will keep pace with the construction of the embankment. In addition, because of evaporation and rainfall, the soils are mostly unsaturated. Therefore, it is meaningful to research the consolidation properties of unsaturated ground under non-uniform loading.

目的:在公路工程建设中,为使公路安全稳定,必须将原地面填筑成梯形路堤,而路堤的大小同时在宽度和高度上都有变化,这就造成了地面上的非均匀荷载。目前,关于固结特性的研究并没有考虑外部荷载沿水平方向的变化,且外部荷载被假定为随时间变化的、理想的均匀荷载。此外,由于气候条件的影响,实际工程中处理的通常是非饱和路基。基于此,本文旨在推导非均匀荷载下的非饱和土的二维平面应变固结的半解析解,并选择梯形荷载作为非均匀荷载的特例,研究非均匀梯形荷载下非饱和土的二维平面应变固结特性。
创新点:1.基于Dakshanamurthy和Fredlund二维平面应变固结理论,建立非均匀梯形荷载下非饱和土二维平面应变固结的参考模型;2.通过拉普拉斯变换与傅里叶展开推导非均匀荷载下非饱和土的二维平面应变固结的半解析解。
方法:1.建立非均匀梯形荷载下非饱和土二维平面应变固结的参考模型(图1);2.推导非均匀荷载下非饱和土的二维平面应变固结的半解析解(公式(6),(7)和(9));3.绘制超孔隙压力与沉降在非均匀荷载下的变化图像,分析不同计算点、路肩宽度与路堤高度对固结特性的影响。
结论:1.不同计算点的超孔隙压力消散速度不同;路面下的超孔隙压力比路肩处的大很多,消散开始得晚,但消散速率快。2.路堤高度的增加会增加路面的最终沉降,但对路肩的影响较小。3.路肩的宽度和坡度都会影响路面和路肩的沉降;路基荷载越接近于均匀荷载,二维平面上的沉降就越均匀。

关键词组:非饱和土;非均匀荷载;二维平面应变固结;半解析解;拉普拉斯变换;傅里叶级数展开
