A numerical study on the seepage failure by heave in sheeted excavation pits
Koltuk, Serdar,Fernandez-Steeger, Tomas M.,Azzam, Rafig Techno-Press 2015 Geomechanics & engineering Vol.9 No.4
Commonly, the base stability of sheeted excavation pits against seepage failure by heave is evaluated by using two-dimensional groundwater flow models and Terzaghi's failure criterion. The objective of the present study is to investigate the effect of three-dimensional groundwater flow on the heave for sheeted excavation pits with various dimensions. For this purpose, the steady-state groundwater flow analyses are performed by using the finite element program ABAQUS 6.12. It has been shown that, in homogeneous soils depending on the ratio of half of excavation width to embedment depth b/D, the ratio of safety factor obtained from 3D analyses to that obtained from 2D analyses $FS_{(3D)}/FS_{(2D)}$ can reach up to 1.56 and 1.34 for square and circular shaped excavations, respectively. As failure body, both an infinitesimal soil column adjacent to the wall (Baumgart & Davidenkoff's criterion) and a three-dimensional failure body with the width suggested by Terzaghi for two-dimensional cases are used. It has been shown that the ratio of $FS_{(Terzaghi)}/FS_{(Davidenkoff)}$ varies between 0.75 and 0.94 depending on the ratio of b/D. Additionally, the effects of model size, the shape of excavation pit and anisotropic permeability on the heave are studied. Finally, the problem is investigated for excavation pits in stratified soils, and important points are emphasized.

The present paper treats the estimation of liquefaction-induced, free-field settlements using two-dimensional, fully coupled, finite element (FE) analyses. The PM4Sand model is used to simulate the liquefaction behavior of a homogeneous sand layer with three different relative densities of 35%, 55%, 75% under eleven different strong ground motions. The results of FE analyses are compared with those obtained from the well-known, semi-empirical methods in the literature. The numerical analyses show that, in case of a relative density of 35%, in general, the majority of earthquake-induced settlements occur in the period, in which the excess pore water pressure resulting from the strong ground motion begins to dissipate. The liquefaction-induced settlements are influenced by not only the moment magnitude and peak ground acceleration, but also other parameters of the ground motion. Furthermore, it has been shown that the evaluation of the liquefaction potential using finite element and semi-empirical methods gives similar results. However, the semi-empirical methods yield mostly larger settlements than those obtained from the FE analyses.
