4 0 Consolidation_by several methods Overview In order to accelerate consolidation without additional embankment and potential shear failure of soil, a uniform atmospheric pressure can be applied to each depth of the soft layer. This example is to compare the results between Suction drain method and Embankment with free drainage by fully coupled and consolidation methods Main objectives for this analysis are as follows. Initial and long term settlements during and after construction Compressibility Lateral ground flow Slope failure / reduction of bearing capacity Differential settlement on adjacent structures, services (road) Improvement methods drainage, solidification, compaction -

8 Fully vs Semi Coupled Analysis Semi coupled analysis Consider P.W.P for stress analysis Time-Independent nonlinear static analysis Drained: Long-term stability Undrained: Short-term stability Seepage Stress [One way coupled] Fully coupled analysis Time-integrating method / Time-Dependent analysis Changes in stress/stain/pore pressure with time Governed by permeability of ground Seepage Stress [Two way coupled interaction] Semi Coupled or Sequential analysis is the simplest way to consider the pore water pressure distribution by conducting seepage analysis beforehand, and reflecting it in the total stress/effective stress relationship equation of the stress analysis conducted in the following step. This method can be used to understand the static stress state of the given steady groundwater flow. However, since deformation due to stress analysis does not influence the seepage phenomenon inversely, there is no two-way coupling. Fully-coupled Stress-Seepage analysis is the two-way coupled analysis between seepage analysis and stress analysis. Both analyses are used to solve the coupled equation. It can display the pore water pressure, stress or deformation changes with time.
9 Consolidation vs Fully Coupled <Common> Two way coupled interaction Time dependent behavior based on quasi-static analysis <Difference> Consolidation analysis Fully coupled analysis Fully coupled DOF for displacement and excessive pore stress Constant hydrostatic pressure Simulate dissipation of excessive p.w.p with time DOF for displacement and total pore stress Simulate changes in hydrostatic pressure with time. All seepage boundaries (head, flux, review) are available. Consolidation [Relation b/w two analyses] The consolidation analysis begins with the assumption that steady state pore water pressure can be maintained, and is used to see the changes in excess pore water pressure. In other words, this analysis is used to simulate the phenomenon of how excess pore water pressure changes with the changes in load/boundary conditions. Fully-coupled Stress-Seepage analysis does not follow assumption that steady state pore water pressure is maintained. Hence, it is suitable for simulating the transient seepage phenomenon, stress analysis and stability in abnormal condition in a fully coupled form. Unlike the consolidation analysis, it is possible to define the changes in seepage boundary conditions with time, boundary flow rate etc. In other words, for Fully-coupled Stress-Seepage analysis, it is possible to use all the transient seepage boundary conditions, structural load and boundary conditions.
10 Key Boundary Conditions General Water Level [Line(D), Surface(D)] Water Level for Mesh Set Create a changing groundwater level by selecting a geometry shape on the work screen. Seepage / Fully Coupled Analysis Nodal Head Nodal Flux Surface Flux Review Input the head of the model. Both the constant head value for steady state analysis and the changing head value for Transient analysis can be entered by applying the Seepage boundary condition function. The Nodal head is used as a boundary condition for Seepage/Consolidation analysis (Fully-Coupled). Consolidation Analysis Draining Condition Used to simulate the domain where the excess pore pressure is 0 (drain). The Drainage condition is used as a boundary condition for Consolidation analysis. Non Consolidation The elements have an additional pore pressure degree of freedom, as well as displacement degree of freedom, at the nodes. Used to model non-consolidation layers to turn off PP degree of freedom. -0
