Hydro-mechanical behaviour of soil experiencing seepage erosion under cyclic hydraulic gradient

Chen Chen et al.

Summary: Numerous incidents and failures of earth slopes, dykes, levees and embankment dams are caused by internal erosion, especially under extreme rainfall, storm surges, waves, and flash floods induced by global climate change. This study conducted laboratory tests to investigate the development of internal erosion and changes in hydraulic conductivity under one-way cyclic seepage, as well as the post-erosion stress-strain behavior. The results showed that the erosion development is significantly influenced by the initial grain size distribution and the pattern of imposed cyclic hydraulic gradient, and the cyclic seepage promotes the loss of fine particles and leads to larger hydraulic conductivity.

Microscopic mechanism and analytical modeling of seepage-induced erosion in bimodal soils

Xiukai Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates seepage-induced erosion in bimodal soils through discrete element method simulations. The results show that the erosion ratio increases with fines content and sharply increases after reaching a critical value. The critical value depends on the gap ratio and the confining pressure, which can be determined by a fitted Boltzmann equation. The study also proposes an analytical model based on dimensional analysis to predict the final erosion ratio.

Xuan-ming Ding et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the mechanical properties and deformation behavior of geogrid reinforced calcareous sand through experiments, and finds that geogrid reinforcement greatly enhances the strength of the sand and suppresses shearing dilatancy.

L. Cheng et al.

Summary: This paper presents the development of a particle breakage model based on the modified Mohr-Coulomb model within a finite-element framework.

Cumulative deformations and particle breakage in calcareous sand subjected to drained high-cyclic loading: Experimental investigation

Shao-Heng He et al.

Summary: The study found that larger void ratios and consolidation anisotropy led to a significant increase in accumulated axial strain, transforming stable shakedown behavior into transitional or unstable shakedown behaviors. The relationship between the particle breakage index (Br) and the total input energy (W-in) was unique under high-cyclic loading, regardless of stress conditions and initial void ratios. An appropriate equation was developed to describe the correlation between Br and W(in) under high-cyclic loading, which was found to differ dramatically from that under monotonic loading.

Evaluation of the particle breakage of calcareous sand based on the detailed probability of grain survival: An application of repeated low-energy impacts

Yu Peng et al.

Summary: The detailed probability of grain breakage influences the micromechanical behaviors of granular soil, with larger grains playing a more important role in the later breakage stage as the repeated cycles of impact increase. The breakage index B based on detailed probability of grain survival is more accurate for single-sized samples compared to the commonly used index B-g. These findings provide insights for investigating mechanisms of grain breakage under repeated impact loading.

Summary: The study compared the cyclic behavior of calcareous sand and siliceous sand through high-cycle drained triaxial tests, showing that calcareous sand has stronger shear strength and resistance to permanent deformation.

A comparison of radon, heat tracer and head gradient methods to quantify surface water - groundwater exchange in a tidal wetland (Kooragang Island, Newcastle, Australia)

Mahmood Sadat-Noori et al.

Summary: Subsurface flow is crucial for wetland functioning and ecosystem services, with various methods such as radon, heat, and Darcy's equation used to quantify flow rates. While radon provides total subsurface flow, other methods like head gradient and heat tracer may underestimate flow in dynamic coastal systems like tidal wetlands. Employing a multi-tracer approach is important for accurately quantifying hydrological export of dissolved constituents in coastal wetlands.

Qirui Ma et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the microscopic mechanism of particle detachment in binary mixtures subjected to suffusion under different flow directions, finding that when the macro-flow direction is aligned with the principal direction of compression, the fluid flow intensifies, increasing erosion.
