Abstract Road and railway embankments are earth structures that lose stability under rainfall, and accumulation of rainfall causes an elevation of the phreatic surface within an embankment. For these reasons, drainage systems are needed when constructing an earth structure. Drain pipes are one type of drainage system applicable even for an existing earth structure. However, it is difficult to estimate the effects of the drain pipe quantitatively, and design and construction of drain pipes proceed according to past experience. In this study, the authors succeeded in expressing the drainage effects of drain pipes using an existing soil/water/air coupled analysis framework. This study specifically focused on the cross-sectional shape of drain pipes. Five kinds of cross-sectional drain pipe shapes were created, and rainfall infiltration series was simulated using the same procedure for each case. Consequently, the simulations determined that seepage behavior is dependent on the cross-sectional shape of the drain pipe. Furthermore, this analysis found that infiltrated rainwater does not drain when the phreatic surface is located below the drain pipe. - Monitoring seepage behavior of infiltrated rainwater and the transport of alkaline components within an embankment model constructed of steel slag-mixed soilKatsuyuki Kawai; S.

Embankment structures are important to protect against flooding damage. Suffusion, in which fine particles within the soil are transported and washed away following the seepage flow, intensifies the instability of embankment structures. Therefore, it is possible that some embankment structures that repeatedly experienced flooding and rainfall penetration have been deteriorated. However, there is little research investigating the relation between seepage flow histories and deterioration within the embankments. In this study, small-scale modeling tests duplicating a river levee were conducted under different seepage flow histories: (i) short term-critical ground water level, (ii) continuous-high ground water level and (iii) repeated-high ground water level. The work in this paper investigates changes in “drainage flow rate”, “height of ground water level” and “particle size distribution” during the seepage tests, and evaluates the effects of seepage flow histories on them. Soils gradually showed lower permeability under the first seepage experience in each cases. In the case of relatively longer flooding duration, the drainage flow rate is gradually increased. Fine particles were eroded, regardless of the seepage flow histories; “the number of fluctuations” and “height” of ground water level could particularly be a trigger of suffusion. - Katsuyuki KAWAI; Kaito ARINISHI; Koji NAKASHIMAJournal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.

Recently, mixtures of low-quality soil together with solidification materials, such as cement or steel slag, have been used for earthmoving construction. Solidification materials can improve consistency, shear strength, stiffness, and other parameters of low-quality soil by generating bonding forces between soil particles and changing grain size gradation. However, these solidification materials also contain chemical agents. In this study, simulations of rainfall infiltration into embankment constructed with the soil-solidification material mixture are conducted using the soil/water/air/soluble material coupled finite element analysis code, DACSAR-MP_ad. This analysis code can express not only deformation and seepage for an unsaturated earth structure but can also concurrently model the dispersing behaviour of soluble material. Herein, permeability and rainfall intensity conditions are provided and their effects investigated. Consequently, this study succeeds in expressing different distributions of soluble materials within embankment under different rainfall conditions. - Kasuyuki Kawai; Ryosuke Hamada; Koji NakashimaInternational Journal of GEOMATE 18 (66) 9 - 15 2186-2982 2020 [Refereed]
Geophysical exploration, which can explore the distribution of material properties underground, has, for less than the last half a century, been applied for prospecting groundwater and bedrock. Though simulation techniques have improved with greater sophistication of the constitutive model for soil material, comprehension of current soil conditions is important for accurately predicting the behavior of earth structures. Therefore, the importance of geophysical exploration is growing. Soil parameters are indirectly identified from physical parameters, such as wave velocity, electric conductivity and so on. In geophysical exploration, calibrating physical parameters with necessary soil parameters is required for individual soil material and has thus prevented the application of geophysical exploration at the site level. In this study, surface wave and electric prospecting were conducted at a site first investigated circumstantially by borings and other soundings. Then, the applicability of surface wave and electric prospecting were validated through their comparison. Next, geophysical explorations were conducted on a large-size embankment. Consequently, the applicable scope of this type of exploration was demonstrated, proving its applicability for geotechnical engineering sites. - Katsuyuki Kawai; Yusuke Kijima; Koji NakashimaLecture Notes in Civil Engineering SPRINGER-VERLAG SINGAPORE PTE LTD 62 817 - 824 2366-2557 2020 [Refereed]
Recently, slope failure due to rainfall occurs frequently and inflicts serious damage. However, slope characteristics that reflect stability, such as gradient, length, thickness of weathered layer, and groundwater condition, differ from one slope to another. Because of this, it is difficult to estimate the risk of slope failure using a single uniform standard. A simple way to model a slope and estimate risk according to rainfall pattern is needed. In this study, a way to estimate slope stability in the framework of unsaturated soil mechanics is proposed. Here, the surface failure of a long slope covered with weathered soil is the target. Various slope gradients and rainfall intensities are considered as influential factors on slope stability. First, rainfall infiltration is simulated with soil/water/air coupled finite element analysis code, DACSARMP. Next, the factor of safety is calculated using the distributions of pore-water pressure and soil moisture obtained from seepage analysis. - 鍋島康之; 大島昭彦; 河井克之; 遠藤信之; 福塚健次郎; 豊福恒平Kansai Geo-Symposium論文集(CD-ROM) 2019 ROMBUNNO.2‐4 2019/10 [Refereed]

In this study, based on field measurements conducted during the period from the start of embankment launch to dismantling, based on the results of the indoor tests on the sampled samples, the deformation and strength characteristics of the embankment receiving the traffic load and rainfall Etc., the performance of the steel slag mixed soil as an embankment material was evaluated by paying attention to the hydraulic characteristics of the embankment. As a result, by mixing and stirring the steelmaking slag and the earth at an appropriate ratio and properly compacting, it is possible to withstand deformation even under traffic load, and it is possible to suppress leaching of high alkaline water from the embankment by rainfall to some extent It could be confirmed. Therefore, it was found that there was no practical problem concerning the concern factor when slag was used as the embankment material. - SHINSEI Akira; NISHIMURA Satoshi; FUJISAWA Kazunori; TAKESHITA Yuji; KAWAI Katsuyuki; SAKO Shunsuke; MORI Hirotoshi; YAMAZOE Nobutaka; OHTA MasayukiJournal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.

The stability assessment of river levee against intense rainfall and flooding involves predicting variations of the phreatic surface level and pore water pressure through unsaturated seepage analysis. This study is a summary of collective work conducted by JSCE River Levee Research Committee WG2, which was set up in 2012 to investigate the applicability of unsaturated seepage analysis to the levee wetting problems in practice, and to assess the accuracy and robustness of the analysis implemented with different numerical codes by different users. To this end, three levels of round-robin analysis exercise were conducted, in which different degrees of prescription were imposed to analysis conditions. Amongst the main findings from this exercise is that all the numerical codes, whether commercial or home-grown by the authors, output sufficiently accurate and practically identical solutions when same conditions are input, despite the differences in their discretisation methods, integration methods, etc. When the participants were given a total freedom in modelling the given levee's cross-section and material data, notable variations in the numerical results came out, confirming that each participant's engineering judgment in conditioning/modelling, not the sensitivity of numerical codes, is the main cause of the diverse outputs. Nevertheless, the variations are on the whole within a range which can be deemed acceptable for most levee engineering purposes.

The migration of contaminant through soil is usually modeled using the advection-dispersion equation and assumes that the porous media is stationary without introducing a constitutive equation to represent soil structure. Consequently, time-dependent deformation induced by soil consolidation or physical remediation is not considered, despite the need to consider these variables during planning for the remediation of contaminated ground, the prediction of contaminated groundwater movement, and the design of engineered landfills. This study focuses on the numerical modeling of solute transfer during consolidation as a first step to resolve some of these issues. We combine a coupling theory-based mass conservation law for soil-fluid-solute phases with finite element modeling to simulate solute transfer during deformation and groundwater convection. We also assessed the sensitivity of solute transfer to the initial boundary conditions. The modeling shows the migration of solute toward the ground surface as a result of ground settlement and the dissipation of excess pore water pressure. The form of solute transport is dependent on the ground conditions, including factors such as the loading schedule, contamination depth, and water content. The results indicate that an understanding of the interaction between coupling phases is essential in predicting solute transfer in ground deformation and could provide an appropriate approach to ground management for soil remediation. - Kawai, Katsuyuki; Hazama, Daichi; Nose, RyunosukePANAM UNSATURATED SOILS 2017: APPLICATIONS AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS (302) 1 - 10 0895-0563 2018 [Refereed]
In this study, air pressure behavior within an earth structure was investigated through a full-scale embankment test. The road embankment (2 m height) was constructed on low-permeability soil and measurement devices (tensiometers, air pressure meters, and soil moisture meters) were installed. The embankment was exposed to natural conditions, such as rainfall and evaporation, and vehicle weight was applied. Characteristic behaviors of water and air pressure were observed throughout the 1-year monitoring period. Water pressure increased under rainfall and kept decreasing due to evaporation without rainfall. The infiltrated rainwater flowed toward the slope toe. Consequently, water pressure at top of the slope increased due to rainfall and decreased soon after rainfall stopped; while pressure at the slope toe started decreasing after a period of time. Conversely, air pressure increased under only heavy rain. Moreover, it decreased to a point lower than atmospheric pressure following the heavy rain and recovered after a brief interval. - Yusuke Takayama; Atsushi Iizuka; Katsuyuki KawaiENVIRONMENTAL GEOTECHNICS ICE PUBLISHING 4 (5) 339 - 352 2051-803X 2017/10 [Refereed]
Bentonite materials have been considered as a candidate material for engineered barriers in transuranium (TRU) waste disposal facilities due to their physical and chemical characteristics. Bentonite materials will be initially compacted and unsaturated. After closing the cavern, the bentonite material will become saturated through exposure to a percolating groundwater. It is therefore important to understand the behaviour of bentonite during saturation, which provides an initial condition of the disposal facilities. This paper explains a mathematical model which can express the saturation process. Subsequently, a series of numerical simulations were carried out. First, the swelling pressure of buffer and backfill was examined to verify the numerical model. It was confirmed that the simulated swelling pressure rises with water absorption, and swelling pressure test results from the literature are shown to be satisfactorily predicted by the numerical model, although these were slightly overestimated. Next, the mechanical behaviour of bentonite materials in a TRU waste disposal facility during the saturation process was examined using soil/ water/ air coupled finite-element method. Although it is difficult to examine the validity of analysis results because of the difficulty of an extremely long-term measurement, the qualitative behaviour of the saturation process could be inferred. - 河井克之; 硲大智; 能瀬龍之介; 片岡沙都紀; 澁谷啓Kansai Geo-Symposium論文集(CD-ROM) 2017 ROMBUNNO.5‐5 2017/10 [Refereed]

Recently, the frequency of torrential rainfall has increased due to global climate change, and these events cause sediment potential failure. It is difficult to predict when and where a slope failure will occur because of the concentration of heavy rain. Knowing precursory phenomena, however, is effective for disaster reduction. Nonetheless, some of these phenomena have not been explained in the framework of geotechnical engineering. Organic smells and strange sounds, known as precursory signs of slope failure, propagate through the atmosphere. Therefore, it is important to monitor air movement within earth structures. This study focuses on pore air behavior within the ground due to rainfall infiltration. Here, the infiltration column test combined with monitoring smell, as conducted by Tsuchida et al., was first simulated using the soil/ water/air coupled finite element code, DACSAR-MP. Next, a sloping earth structure exposed to rainfall was simulated. Consequently, it was found that distribution of pore air pressure was dependent on drainage conditions of air, and that pore air behavior influenced rainfall infiltration behavior. - Yusuke Takayama; Shinya Tachibana; Atsushi Iizuka; Katsuyuki Kawai; Ichizo KobayashiSOILS AND FOUNDATIONS JAPANESE GEOTECHNICAL SOC 57 (1) 80 - 91 0038-0806 2017/02 [Refereed]
Bentonite has remarkable swelling characteristics and low permeability that enhance the stability of the buffer materials in repositories for the geological disposal of radioactive waste. It is necessary to apply reliable numerical simulation techniques to assess the safety and mechanical stability of repositories over a long period of time. Having a constitutive model that can describe the mechanical behavior of bentonite is key to such numerical simulations. This paper proposes an elasto-plastic constitutive model to describe the changes in the mechanical properties of bentonite due to saturation in the progress of a repository becoming submerged under groundwater. In the proposed model, the swelling index is formulated as a function of the degree-of-saturation to express not only the swelling behavior, but also the dependency of the degree-of-saturation on the dilatancy characteristics. The montmorillonite content is used as a material parameter to determine the normal consolidation line. The experimental results of swelling volume and swelling pressure tests in previous literature are shown to have been satisfactorily predicted by the proposed model.

The B-value, measured after setting up a specimen for triaxial testing, is used for evaluating the degree of saturation of a specimen. However, the stress conditions used when measuring the B-value have not been standardized. Although some experimental approaches have been pursued, no detailed analyses have evaluated the effects of the measurement conditions on the B-value results. In this study, the B-values of nearly saturated specimens under various stress conditions were investigated, using a smart triaxial test apparatus capable of elaborate stress control, and comparisons among measurement results were conducted. Moreover, by applying Henry's law, which governs the dissolution of the gas phase into the liquid phase, to an existing constitutive model for unsaturated soil, a new soil model was proposed. This new model accurately represents the behaviors of pore air even under nearly saturated conditions. In addition, the effects of the stress conditions on the B-values were investigated through numerical simulations of B-value measurements. (C) 2016 The Japanese Geotechnical Society.

Most onshore earth structures, such as earthen dams, embankment, and river levees, are constructed by compaction. Transportation geotechnics also includes construction of compacted earth structures, such as road and railway embankment. Optimum compaction can increase shear strength, while decreasing compressibility and permeability of earth structures. For this reason, compaction has been used for earthworks since the dawn of times. Generally, a series of lab compaction tests is conducted to obtain a compaction curve before constructing these structures. The shape of the compaction curve, which determines the maximum dry density at the optimum water content, is very important in the design and construction of structures. However, it is difficult to control compaction quality on the basis of lab tests alone, as soil materials are inhomogeneous. Furthermore, there are differences in the compaction methods used in lab tests and at construction sites. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the mechanisms of compaction in the framework of soil mechanics. In this study, compaction of earthworks is simulated in a similar way. The effect of compaction layer thickness and the number of compaction layers on the distribution of dry densities in an earth structure was investigated through soil/water/air coupled simulation. Consequently, it was found that multi-layered compaction can create a gap in the dry density between two layers and that this gap can be reduced by thinner layer compaction. On the other hand, though the average dry density in a compacted earth structure can be increased by increasing the number of compacted layers, some gap between compaction layers was inevitable. Through these findings, this study contributes to the performance design of compacted earth structures. - Influence of stress release after sampling on shear characteristicsSugiyama, Y; K. Kawai; A.

Undrained shear strength is used for estimating the bearing resistance of foundations and the safety factor of a slope. For this test, the pore-pressure coefficients, namely A and B as proposed by Skempton, are available. These coefficients can be obtained from the undrained triaxial test. According to Terzaghi's effective stress theory, the B-value must be 1.0 in a saturated soil. Therefore, a B-value of 1.0 is used as the target for saturating a specimen. However, it is difficult to achieve a B-value of 1.0 in the triaxial test. Because of this, a specimen with a B-value greater than 0.95 is regarded as saturated. The relationship between saturation and the B-value is still not clear. In this study, the factors influencing the B-value were numerically investigated with a soil/water/air coupled model that considers the solvability of pore-air to pore-water. Consequently, the pore-water pressure behavior, which depends on the initial degree of saturation and initial stress conditions, could be expressed. - Y. Takayama; R. Hino; A. Iizuka; K.

Due to its low permeability and excellent expansion characteristics, bentonite materials are considered to be the engineered barrier in Trans-Uranium (TRU) disposal facility. It is necessity to predict the mechanical behavior of bentonite using numerical simulation to evaluate the long-term performance of TRU disposal facility. In this paper, we simulated the saturation process of bentonite materials in TRU disposal facility from an initially unsaturated state. And we examined the mechanical behavior of bentonite buffer during the saturation process. This simulation result shows that Disposal waste is moved upward due to the difference of swelling pressure between buffer and backfill. And the facility existed in unsaturated state even under steady state conditions due to the entrapped air. - Katsuyuki Kawai; Phommachanh Viradeth; Atsushi Iizuka15th Asian Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, ARC 2015: New Innovations and Sustainability Asian Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering 2 (49) 1714 - 1717 2015 [Refereed]
In this study, the generation process of the phreatic surface within a river levee is investigated through soil/water/air coupled simulation. Here, the effects of river level fluctuation and rainfall on changes in soil moisture distribution within a river levee are considered. The constitutive model proposed by Ohno et al.1) is formulated to the initial and boundary value problems in accordance with Borja's multi phases' concept and is used for simulation. Consequently, it is first found that high groundwater level is maintained for ground consisting of low permeability and high soil water retentivity. Moreover, it is found that the fluctuation of river level directly influences the phreatic surface, and that, in contrast, the effect of rainfall appears after a time lag. - KOTANI Minoru; IIZUKA Atsushi; KAWAI KatsuyukiJournal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.

In recent years, enormous damage has been caused by natural disasters. Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) play an important role in minimizing human suffering. However, since factual information is intermingled with disinformation in the event of a disaster, it is difficult to obtain correct information, such as where and to what extent medical care is required, in order to dispatch DMAT appropriately. In this study, using a victims estimation formula empirically derived from the cumulative death toll data with the passage of time in past seismic hazard, an optimization problem was addressed to minimize the number of deaths.
Consequently, it was found that early dispatch of DMAT would be effective, and DMAT should be dispatched according to the circumstances (number of DMAT, conditions of affected areas) in order to minimize the cumulative death toll. And, by setting the conditions of the affected area, it was possible to consider the way of reasonable DMAT dispatch. Thus, it has become possible to suggest the way of effective dispatch of finite DMAT, to use limited DMAT resources efficiently, and to help make decisions. - TIWARI Binod土木学会論文集A2(応用力学) 公益社団法人 土木学会 71 (2) I_171 - I_180 2185-4661 2015 [Refereed]

The present work explains the statics of self-weight transmission restricted to a long prismatic heap inclined at an angle of repose and symmetrically formed on a rigid base. The closure of polarized principal axes with the mobilized state of stress along the slope surface is employed by imposing the orientation of principal stresses on the equilibrium equations. Comparisons were made with calculations based on the finite element method using an elastic model. Moreover, experiments on sand heaps deposited on a rectangular rigid base were conducted to validate the theoretical study.

Rainfall is one among the most common contributing factor and trigger for landslides. In the majority of the cases, slopes are at partially saturated condition when they are subjected to rainfall. While analysing stability of those slopes, deformation analysis is performed in a conservative way assuming the slope to be in a fully saturated condition. In this research, a fully coupled hydro-mechanical finite element model is described based on the constitutive model developed for partially saturated soil condition. A 1.2 m long and 0.6 m high sandy slope was modelled in laboratory and was subjected to 30 mm/h of rainfall for 3 h. Values of suction measured after 3 h were very close to the numerically calculated values based on the finite element method developed by the authors. This model was used to calculate deformation of slope for different intensities of rainfall and at different angles of slopes in order to predict the amount of deformation or failure condition when a slope is subjected to a continuous rainfall of different intensities and durations. - Y.

With the remarkable increase in amounts of waste being generated recently, waste disposal has become a serious issue. There are various types of waste materials, some of which include substances that are harmful to humans and require proper handling for safe disposal. The infiltration of rainwater into a waste repository site can cause possible leakage of these harmful substances. The system for covering any repository site is therefore extremely important and now the use of a capillary barrier system is one of the more promising candidates for a suitable cover system. The capillary barrier system consists of two soil layers: a fine sandy upper soil layer and a coarse lower soil layer. The different water retention capabilities between the upper and lower layers are key to the performance of the capillary barrier system. Also by tilting these soil layers, the capillary barrier system can be made more effective because it prevents vertical infiltration and drain in the direction of the slope. In this paper, a series of parametric numerical computations were conducted using the soil/water/air coupling F.E. technique. The slope angle and thickness of the upper soil layer were changed in order to examine the performance of the capillary barrier system. The mechanism for the capillary barrier was then discussed. Throughout numerical computations, it was repeatedly shown that vertical water infiltration and retention in the soil layers decrease with an increase in the slope angle. The paper also reveals how the thickness of the upper soil layer influences the performance of the capillary barrier. - Y. Takayama; Y. Ikuta; A. Iizuka; K. Kawai; T. Taki; R. Sakao; Y.

In this paper, a multiple unsaturated soil barrier system consisting of multiple layers of gravel, sand, decomposed granite soil, and bentonite mixture soil is considered as a hardly permeable covering to prevent rainwater from infiltrating into waste deposits. Water infiltration is prevented due to both the low permeability of the bentonite mixture soil layer and a capillary barrier with different water-retention capabilities. A series of numerical simulations was carried out to evaluate the performance of the barrier system using a saturated/unsaturated soil/water coupled FE computation technique. Impermeability of the barrier system is shown as a graphical chart with rainfall duration on the x-axis and rainfall intensity on the y-axis. The simulation results show that the capillary barrier is a key parameter in evaluating the long-term performance of the barrier system. Results also confirm that the barrier system can work well against the maximum intensity of the rainfall recorded in Nigyo-toge. - K. Kawai; V. Phommachanh; S. Sakamoto; A.

In this study, in order to clarify the mechanism of compaction, the static compaction simulations are conducted by using soil/water/air coupled finite element code, which consists of the constitutive model for unsaturated soil, the soil water retention characteristic curve model and the gas state equation. Here, the compaction is assumed as an initial and boundary value problem, namely loading and unloading under drained air and undrained water conditions. Consequently, the shape of compaction curve could be successfully expressed. Moreover, parametric study is carried out to investigate the dependency of compaction curve on material properties. Here, compressibility, permeability and the soil water retentivity are considered as an influential factor. Consequently, the effects of material parameters on compaction quality can be theoretically explained. - Binod Tiwari; Katsuyuki Kawai; Adam Lewis; Phommachanh ViradethLandslide Science for a Safer Geoenvironment: Volume 2: Methods of Landslide Studies Springer International Publishing 123 - 128 2014/01 [Refereed]
Rainfall is considered one of the major triggering factors for shallow landslides. The effect of rainfall in causing landslides depends on the intensity and duration of rainfall, the type of soil, the inclination of the slope, and ground water conditions. The majority of slope stability problems in shallow slides involve partially saturated soils. Although experimental modelling of slopes subjected to various intensities and durations of rainfall are ideal to evaluate the effect of rainfall on slope stability, it is time consuming and expensive. Numerical simulation of such experimental modelling can save a great deal of time and cost. In this study, slope models were prepared at angles of inclination of 30º and 45º with double washed construction sand, at a void ratio of 0.7. The slopes were subjected to 30 mm/h of rainfall for 3 h. Spatial variation of suction during the rainfall and depth of water front with time were measured for the entire rainfall period. The depth of water front and spatial variation of suction were also calculated through the finite element model (FEM) that was developed based on a hydro-mechanical model developed for the partially saturated soil. The numerical and experimental results provided identical results. The numerical result was extended to predict the spatial variation of suction, depth of water front and deformation of slope subjected to higher intensity of rainfall. - Yuri Sugiyama; Shun Nomura; Atsushi Iizuka; Katsuyuki Kawai; Shinya Tachibana; Shin Ichi Kanazawa; Tomohide TakeyamaTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Japan 62 141 - 148 1348-0693 2014 [Refereed]
The East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami caused serious damages in the coastal area of eastern Japan. Many houses and cars on the road were swept away by the tsunami. Also, industrial facilities such as chemical plants in the coastal area were completely destroyed. Damage from saline seawater was not limited only to the rice field areas, and there were also serious anxieties regarding the possibility of ground contamination as a result of harmful heavy metals that leaked from destroyed chemical plants. In light of this scenario, we carried out a quantitative survey to examine these areas. This paper reports on the results of our survey. It was found that high salt concentrations were detected on the ground surface but predictions state that these concentrations can be diluted with rainfall. It was also revealed that serious ground contamination due to the harmful heavy metals was not detected. - S. Nomura; Y. Sugiyama; K. Kawai; A.

In this study, we use conservation laws to construct a method for describing the movement of dissolved material. This is then applied to a mathematical model. Recently, soil pollution, induced by toxic materials in the ground water, is spreading. The mobility modes for this dissolved material can be divided into advection, induced by distribution of fluid head, and dispersion, induced by distribution of concentration content. First, Darcy's law is derived from the momentum conservation law using Bear's theory. Secondly, the concept of total fluid head is extended for application to various fluids. Additionally, an infiltration equation and an advection-dispersion equation are derived from mass conservation laws. Coupling the two equations, we construct a mass transfer model for unsaturated/saturated ground. Using the model, the effect of density flow is considered assuming basic one-dimensional areas. The results show that mobility of the dissolved material depends on its density. We concluded that density flow dominates along the vertical rather than the horizontal direction and mobility of the fluid is dulled in the unsaturated area. - V. Phommachanh; N. Matsuo; K.

In order to study the triggering factors for shallow landslides during rainfall, sandy soil slopes were prepared in laboratory angles of 30 and 45 degrees and those slopes were poured with rainfall intensities of 30 and 60 mm/hours through a specially developed rain simulator. Moreover, the rainfall on slope was simulated with using unsaturated soil/water/air coupled F.E. code, and the numerically calculated depth of water front and values of suction at different location in the slopes at various angles of inclinations matched well with the experimentally observed values. The combined results obtained with the numerical and experimental studies were utilized to predict the variation in the depth of water and values of suction at different intensities of rainfall as well as deformation of slopes during rainfall. - SUGIYAMA Yuri; KAWAI Katsuyuki; TANAKA Hiroyuki; IIZUKA AtsuhiJournal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.

The pore pressure coefficient B, which is measured on triaxial test, is useful for evaluating degree of saturation of specimen. However, the influential factors on this B value other than degree of saturation have not been investigated in detail up to now. In this study, first, Henry's law that indicates dissolved air in pore water was applied to the existing constitutive model for unsaturated soil in order to express the behavior of pore air on unsaturated soil extremely close to fully saturated state. Next, the influential factors, such as degree of saturation, confining stress and back pressure, were investigated through numerical simulations with using newly obtained model. Consequently, it was found out that B value depends on not only degree of saturation but also stress state. - K. Kawai; A. Iizuka; S.

Results obtained in a lab compaction test are difficult to apply to the design and compaction control at an actual geotechnical engineering site. This is attributed to the fact that the mechanism for compaction has not been explained using the principles of soil mechanics. The main theme of this study is interpretation of the compaction mechanism with unsaturated soil mechanics. Here, static compaction tests were simulated with soil/water/air coupled finite element analysis code DACSAR-MP. Consequently, the shape of the compaction curve was successfully expressed. Moreover, the effects of compaction on compressibility and permeability of compacted soil could be reasonably explained. Additionally, shear deformation was applied to the specimen obtained from static compaction simulations in soil/water/air coupled analysis. The relationships between shear strength and compaction curve showed good agreement with the actual behavior. - Shintaro Ohno; Katsuyuki Kawai; Atsushi Iizuka; Shinya Tachibana; Shin ichi Kanazawa; Hideki OhtaGeotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering 25 215 - 228 1573-6059 2013 [Refereed]

Thermal power plants burn oil and coal to generate electricity. Coal fly-ash is a product of the coal-burning process. Coal fly-ash has a self-hardening property and becomes extremely stiff over time. For this reason, it is being reused as a concrete aggregate in the production of concrete. Recently, coal-fly ash is being mixed with soil from construction waste for reclamation projects. To be able to reuse coal fly-ash in such a way, in the field of geotechnical engineering, the associated self-hardening properties must be incorporated in the framework of the constitutive model. It is generally known that cemented soil, such as fly-ash, behaves similar to unsaturated soil. In the constitutive model for unsaturated soil, hardening due to desaturation is expressed as the increase in yield stress. Here, changes in parameters used in the Cam-Clay model, generated by this self-hardening property, are studied by comparing the simulation results obtained from a soil/water coupled analysis with triaxial test results on two kinds of coal fly-ash. Consequently, the self-hardening property is expressed as an increase in the yield stress and an increase in the frictional angle, dependent on time. Differences between the two methods of producing fly-ash are reflected in the parameter set. - S. Nomura; K. Kawai; A. Iizuka; S. Tachibana; S.

Soil contamination caused by industrial activity has become a serious environmental problem causing ground deterioration. Since soil decontamination is expensive and its efficiency is difficult to estimate, the contaminated ground areas are often abandoned without purification. To encourage the reuse of land, the methods for predicting contaminant transfer, induced by changes in external forces and water levels are required. In this study, the mass transport equation was applied to the existing unsaturated soil/water/air coupled F. E. analysis code for expressing the advection and dispersion behavior of dissolved material within pore-water. First, the continuity condition equations and advection-dispersion equations were developed from mass conservation laws of soil, water and dissolved materials. These governing equations, including the constitutive model for unsaturated soil, were formulated as initial and boundary values problems and coded as DACSAR-Mad. Assuming the ground to be polluted, the effect of external forces on the ground surface was simulated. It was found that the external forces contribute to mass transfer. This analysis code is effective in describing the complications of the mass transfer problem including the effects of external force and water level. © 2012 IEEE. - A. Iizuka; K. Kawai; S. Nomura; S.

Desertification poses a serious problem to the global environment. A reported 7.2% of the world's land area is affected by desertification, with 35.8% of this figure located in Asia. Major causes of desertification include excessive deforestation, overgrazing of cattle and damage due to salt, all of which are the results of water cycle disorders relating to the geosphere and atmosphere. Through hierarchization (structurization) analysis, this paper discusses the issue of desertification as it pertains to issues threatening the health of the global environment. The key issues to be taken into consideration with regard to desertification have been extracted and examined from a geotechnical viewpoint. The authors focus on the role that geotechnical engineering can play in the prevention of desertification and in its restoration process. The paper highlights a northeastern area of Thailand where salt damage is likely to result in desertification. In order to numerically simulate what is happening there, a set of mathematical models based on unsaturated geomechanics is formulated, taking into account key issues revealed through a hierarchization analysis. The paper also includes a discussion on the applicability of these models for addressing the salt damage problem affecting this northeastern part of Thailand. The importance of unsaturated geomechanics is demonstrated in this paper, particularly as it pertains to prevention and restoration of salt-damaged areas that finally lead to desertification. © 2012 IEEE. - Katsuyuki Kawai; Masaki Shibata; Takeru Ohtsuki; Viradeth Phommachanh; Shinichi Kanazawa; Atsushi IizukaUnsaturated Soils: Research and Applications Springer Berlin Heidelberg 181 - 187 2012 [Refereed]

Bentonite is usually modeled as a geo-material with elasto-plastic isotropic compression/expansion and plastic dilatancy characteristics. In this paper, fundamental considerations of elasto-plastic constitutive modeling for fully saturated bentonite are investigated. According to uniaxial compression test data by Sasakura et al. (2003), where lateral earth pressure was measured, it was found that the hysteresis response between loading and unloading processes does not appear. It suggested that bentonite is an elastic material in which the swelling line corresponds to the normally consolidated line in the 'e-logp' relationship. Also, according to triaxial CU test results of bentonite, it was seen the effective mean stress remains almost unchanged during shearing. This implies that bentonite does not have dilatancy characteristics as defined by the critical state theory. Similar interpretation can be derived from the experimental results obtained from a series of triaxial CD tests by Cui et al. (2006). © 2012, International Journal of GEOMATE. - S. Tachibana; Y.

This study presents a new constitutive model for expansive soils. Under any arbitrary state of degree-of-saturation, the mechanical void ratio predicted by the elasto-plastic constitutive models, i.e. EC model and Se-hardening model are combined with the additional void ratio in order to characterize the typical swelling behavior of expansive soil. Herein, the fully saturation curve which derived from compaction and consolidation experimental tests are taken into consideration.

Compacted soil is widely used for earth structures. However, the mechanism of compaction has not been explained, so it is difficult to grasp distributions of stress, void ration, and soil moisture within compacted earth structure. Therefore, estimation of safety and stability of compacted earth structures exposed to natural disaster is complicated. Compaction is decreasing void ratio by applying stress under certain water content and pushing air out of soil mass. Thus, the mechanics of unsaturated soil, which includes air within void, is needed for understanding of compaction. In this study, we regarded compaction as compression and expansion phenomenon of unsaturated soil under drained air and undrained water conditions and formulated it in initial-boundary-value problem. Here, the influences of permeability and soil water retention characteristics on compaction were considered and static compaction tests were simulated. Moreover, multi-layered compaction was examined. - KANAZAWA Shin-ichi; TOYOSHIMA Takuma; KAWAI Katsuyuki; TACHIBANA Shinya; IIZUKA AtsushiJournal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.

Compacted soil is widely used to build earth structure. Although construction management of the soil progresses day by day, it is said that mechanism of compaction effect isn't fully made clear. This is due to the complication of compaction mechanism of unsaturated soil. Recently, some constitutive models for unsaturated soil and SWCC models were proposed and advanced the study on unsaturated soil. In this study we regarded compaction as the consecutive cycle of compression and expansion of unsaturated soil under undrained condition, and simulated it with unsaturated soil/water/air coupled finite element analysis. In this study, we expressed the characteristics of the mechanical behavior of compacted soil, which has not been explained for a long period of geotechnical engineering. And we considered the difference of compaction procedure affected the quality of earth structures. The achievement can be managed reasonably the compaction of earth structure. - Growth environment estimation of the monumental pine in Rikuzen Takada with mass transfer simulationKAWAI Katsuyuki; SUGIYAMA Yuri; Nomura Shun; IIZUKA AtsushiJournal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.

The coastal area of eastern Japan was hit by Tsunami due to the gigantic earthquake on March 11th 2011. Tsunami gave serious damage to Rikuzen Takada and drowned out famous pine forest, called “Takadanomatsubara”. However, only one of 70,000 pines could survive miraculously without falling down. People decided to preserve this pine as the monumental pine for the symbol of recovery. However, there are some problems, groundwater rise due to land sinking and salt concentration from seawater. These factors can kill root system. In this study, the current situation around the monumental pine was simulated with soil/water/air coupled F. E. code applying the mass transfer equation first. Next, the alternative preservation methods were examined. Consequently, it was found that pumping up from deep inside of sheet pile is effective for inhibiting salt diffusion and flashing is effective for washing salt away from ground. - PHOMMACHANH Viradeth; MAEGAWA Futoshi; KAWAI Katsuyuki; IIZUKA AtsushiJournal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.

Coal fly-ash is a product of the coal-burning process in thermal power plants. Coal fly-ash has self-hardening property and increases its stiffness with time. Therefore, it has been reused as a concrete aggregate in the production of concrete up to now. Recently, coal-fly ash is mixed with dredged soil from construction waste and reused for reclamation. In order to reuse coal fly-ash in the geotechnical engineering field, the self-hardening property in the framework of the constitutive model needs to be expressed. In this study, the self-hardening property is assumed as increases of the frictional angle and the yield stress. Our model is formulated for the initial-boundary problems with finite element method.

Shortage of landfill capacity in areas where industrial waste materials are dumped is a serious environmental problem. In this study, the mechanical characteristics of two kinds of soil samples, produced by burning sludge, were examined. In order to grasp some key fundamental mechanical properties of these soil samples, a series of laboratory tests were performed. It was found that the stress-strain characteristics and the permeability of these soil samples were very similar to those of standard sandy materials. In addition, particles in the soil samples were easily crushable and exhibited high water retentivity. Next, the applicability of the unsaturated elasto-plastic constitutive model of Ohno et al. (2007), in reproducing the mechanical behavior of these soil samples, was examined. The results of this study will help in useful utilization of micro-porous ceramic materials, obtained from sludge burning, in the field of geotechnical engineering. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London. - M.

It is difficult to estimate the current stress state of existing embankments because of their inherent sloping geometric shapes. Therefore an elastic analysis is always carried out in advance and the calculated stress state, assumed as the current stress, is used as an input parameter in the deformation analysis of an embankment. However, the stress state of a banking material can be quite complicated since banking materials are elasto-plastic and unsaturated in most cases, and, their behavior strongly depends on the stress history. In this study, the banking process is simulated with an elasto-plastic constitutive model for unsaturated soil. Specifically, the effects of banking speed and initial suction within the banking material are considered. It is found that the post-banking stress state depends on the distribution of the initial suction due to soil-water retention characteristics. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London. - M. Shibata; K.

Although compacted soil is widely used for constructing earth structures, the mechanism of compaction has not been explained using principles of soil mechanics. Therefore, designing and constructing such structures depend on empirical methods. In this study, we considered compaction as un-drained compression of unsaturated soil, and have simulated the compaction process using principles of unsaturated soil/water coupling problem. The constitutive model proposed by Ohno et al. (2007) and the soil-water retention characteristic curve model proposed by Kawai et al. (2000) were used for these simulations. When compared with static compaction tests performed by Kawai et al. (2003), the simulation results showed good agreement. Consequently, the shape of the observed compaction curve could be explained. The results achieved in this study can be applied to construction management on geotechnical engineering sites. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London. - Michinori Honda; Shintaro Ohno; Atsushi Iizuka; Katsuyuki Kawai; Hideki OhtaGeotechnical and Geological Engineering 29 (2) 171 - 180 0960-3182 2011/03 [Refereed]
An evaluation method for the mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils is studied in this paper. Although the mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils is complicated, a simple modeling is preferable in practice. This is because the soil properties are not homogeneous and ground data is limited when structures are being designed. In addition, in order to evaluate the reliability of the design, the physical meanings of the parameters applied in the prediction model should be clear. Firstly, the authors study the relationship between compaction curves and compression indexes in the unsaturated state that is used in the proposed constitutive model. Based on the constitutive model, the stress paths for constant volume shear tests are formulated under a constant void ratio condition and the stress paths for undrained shear tests are calculated under a constant water content condition. In the case of unsaturated specimens, the volume of these specimens changes with the shear deformation and the stress paths depend on the initial degree of saturation. The results of the calculation qualitatively describe the test results by considering the changes in effective confining pressure in the undrained condition and the water retention curves. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V. - S.

Desertification due to salt damage has recently become a serious problem throughout the world. Salt damage is a phenomenon where salt in the groundwater gets concentrated at the ground surface and kills vegetation. In this study salt damage due to disequilibrium of water balance was simulated with unsaturated soil/water coupled simulation code, as applied the material transport equation. Evaporation and precipitation cycles were applied to a model of ground that contained salty groundwater in its deep region. This allowed the successful reproduction of the phenomenon of salt accumulation on the ground surface. Additionally, identical climatic conditions were applied to model grounds consisting of two types of soil, different in terms of their soil-water retention characteristics. It was found that two methods of overlay and insertion of a layer of coarse-grade material, known as 'mulching', are effective in the prevention of salt accumulation. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London. - Atsushi Iizuka; Yusuke Takayama; Shinya Tachibana; Shintaro Ohno; Ichizo Kobayashi; Katsuyuki KawaiProceedings of the International Conference on Radioactive Waste Management and Environmental Remediation, ICEM (PARTS A AND B) 949 - 954 2011 [Refereed]
Due to its low permeability and excellent expansion characteristics, bentonite is an excellent candidate with potential use as a buffer in the disposal of nuclear waste. Its expansion characteristics, activated by wetting, can be interpreted based on the full saturation line, depicted as a unique line on the density and the confining pressure relationship as proposed by Kobayashi et al. (2007). In addition, its elasto-plastic constitutive relation can also be formulated by introducing additional irreversible strain component describing the expansion of the montmorillonite present in the bentonite material. A constitutive model can consistently express the mechanical behavior of the compacted bentonite material from the unsaturated to the fully saturated state. This paper describes the density homogenization process that was conducted through a series of soil-water coupled elasto-plastic finite element simulations. Specifically, bentonite specimens, with different initial densities, were permeated with a constant water head. Stresses and strains developing in bentonite, particularly the density change, were carefully examined. A series of numerical simulations, performed on the two specimens, showed that specimens did not homogenize to a unique value of density upon reaching the fully saturated state. To confirm the simulation results, we carried out a series of experiments. The experimental results also support our simulation results.

Therefore, it is strongly requested to know the transfer behavior of contaminant movement in the ground.

To predict the long-term elasto-plastic behavior of unsaturated earth structures, a constitutive model, which can express the following typical mechanical behavior of unsaturated soil, is needed. This includes shrinkage and increase of stiffness upon drying (i.e. suction increase), collapse with reduction of stiffness upon wetting (i.e. suction decrease), and the influences of suction history related to the hysteresis of soil-water retention characteristics. In this study, a new constitutive model is proposed for unsaturated soil where the effective degree of saturation is used as a parameter relating to stiffness. The model shows good agreement with experimental results. In addition, a soil/water coupled finite element simulation code (simulator), as applied to this model, is introduced. The appropriateness of the simulator is demonstrated for the case of a virtual fill. © 2010 Taylor & Francis Group, London. - 田中麻穂; 河井克之; 金澤伸一; 橘伸也; 大野進太郎; 飯塚敦; 竹山智英応用力学論文集(CD-ROM) 13 423 - 430 2010 [Refereed]

It is empirical knowledge that vegetation can influence the behavior of earth structure. It prevents surface failure and erosion due to rain and wind, and contributes to the stability of earth structure. Moreover, it encourages water circulation with transpiration, fixes atmospheric nitrogen and carbon via photosynthesis, and improves the environment. Therefore, surface seeding is purposely performed when an earth structure, such as an embankment or an earth dam, is constructed. Typically, vegetation grows on unsaturated soil. Consequently, a constitutive model for unsaturated soil is needed for understanding the effects of vegetation on the ground. In this study, we focus on the effect of vegetation-induced water uptake. The effect of water uptake due to evapo-transpiration can be regarded as reduction of water content within soil and appropriately represented in simulation studies. The constitutive model proposed by Ohno et al. (2007) is used for the simulation. In this model, the effective degree of saturation is treated as a parameter expressing hardening/softening. Moreover, the 'root element,' where the reduction of water content occurs, is applied to the soil/water coupled analysis with unsaturated soil mechanics. To verify the applicability of this model, the accident in Poland where non-uniform settlement and building damage were caused by water uptake of vegetation was simulated. The results show that water uptake increased suction and induced non-uniform settlement. This method is effective for understanding the effects of vegetation on the ground. © 2009 IOS Press. - 河井克之; 柴田昌輝; 金澤伸一; 橘伸也; 大野進太郎; 飯塚敦; 本田道識応用力学論文集 土木学会 12 429 - 436 1345-9139 2009 [Refereed]

When troublesome sludge discharged from industries and purification plants are burnt by 1300 degree, they change to innocuous micro-porous ceramic materials. The authors are seeking for practical use of such micro-porous ceramic materials in the geotechnical engineering field, particularly for geohazard mitigation. Then, in order to grasp fundamental mechanical properties of the micro-porous ceramic particles, a series of laboratory tests, that is, triaxial compressive shear tests, permeability tests and water retention tests, were performed. It is found that the stress-strain characteristics and permeability of the micro-porous ceramic particles are very similar to those of standard sandy materials but they have very high water retention capability. Next, applicability of the unsaturated elasto-plastic constitutive model proposed by Ohno et al. (2007) to the mechanical behavior of micro-porous ceramic particles was examined in this paper. - M.

Prediction method for undrained shear behaviour of unsaturated soils is discussed in this paper. Based on Original Cam Clay model, authors have proposed constitutive model for unsaturated soils that the effect of water content is incorporated into superloading surface concept. Firstly, stress path of constant volume shear test is formulated under constant void ratio condition. And relationship between water content, dry density and constant volume shear strength is also derived. Secondary, calculation method of undrained shear tests is studied. In the case of unsaturated specimen, volume of the specimen changes with shear deformation and stress paths depend on initial degree of saturation.

They regarded it as an effect of decreasing soil moisture and applied the effect to unsaturated soil/water coupled F. E. analysis. In this study, the soil/water coupled F. E. analysis code is rearranged with the constitutive model for unsaturated soil proposed by Ohno et al.. In their model, the effective degree of saturation are applied as a parameter expressing stiffness of unsaturated soil to enable application of unsaturated soil mechanics to actual problem in geotechnical engineering site. To verify the applicability of soil/water coupled analysis, the accident that the vegetation uptake work brought about the non-uniform settlement of the ground and damaged the building in Poland are simulated. Consequently, it was found that the uptake increased suction and encouraged non-uniform settlement of ground surface. Its effects appeared prominently in a dry ground having low groundwater level and much uptake. This method is effective to understand the effects of vegetation. - KANAZAWA Shinichi; TACHIBANA Shinya; KAWAI Katsuyuki; OHNO Shintaro; IIZUKA AtsushiJournal of Applied Mechanics, JSCE Japan Society of Civil Engineers 11 (11) 331 - 338 1345-9139 2008 [Refereed]
Many of earth structures on the ground keep stability in unsaturated state. Moreover, these structures are exposed to drying and wetting conditions and changes in soil moisture always occur. Therefore, the constitutive model with unsaturated soil mechanics is needed for predicting the elasto-plastic behavior of the earth structures for a long term. The objective of this study is developing soil/water coupled F. E. analysis with unsaturated soil mechanics. In this study, the constitutive model proposed by Ohno et al. is used. Their model can express typical behavior of unsaturated soil, such as shrinkage on drying process, collapse on wetting process, and the effects of hysteresis on soil-water retention characteristic curve, and have the flexibility for dependencies on soil properties. Moreover, isoparametric element is applied on spatial discretization to preventing the dependency on mesh, which can be seen in the Akai and Tamura's method. This simulation method allows us precise prediction of the behavior of unsaturated earth structures. - Farimah Masrouri; Kátia V.

In this paper, a series of numerical simulations of conventional laboratory experiments on normally consolidated clays under undrained condition subject to uniaxial compression/extension loading at constant applied rate of strain in axisymmetric and plane strain conditions was performed in rectangular and octagonal modelled specimens in order to investigate failure behaviours of clays. The soil/water coupling finite element technique formulated under finite deformation theory based on the updated Lagrangean scheme were applied for the numerical simulations. Herein, the Cam-clay material with von Mises type failure criterion, which is independent of the Lode angle, is used to describe constitutive behaviour. It can be seen that the stress states at failure of the specimens obtained from the numerical simulations do not show the von Mises shape on the pi-plane but rather more closely resembles the Lade-Duncan model, which is dependent of Lode angle. The result suggests that Lode angle dependence consistently observed in the laboratory at failure is not a constitutive behaviour but is instead a result influenced by applied boundary conditions and material imperfections.

The soil/water-coupled analysis for unsaturated soil mechanics with the finite element method is used to express the behavior of compacted earth structures exposed to rainfall. The constitutive model, which is proposed by Karube et al. (1996, 1997) and modified by Karube and Kawai (2001), is formulated for initial and boundary problems and coded as DACSAR-U (lizuka et al., 2000). A deep fill, which consists of compacted, unsaturated soil, was analyzed with DACSAR-U. Different patterns of rainfall were applied to deep fills in finite element simulations. As a result, non-uniform settlement of deep fill can be calculated and the magnitude of settlement of deep fills is dependent on the amount of collapse, namely, the compression due to the decrease in suction. Moreover, delayed settlement due to rainfall and an accumulation of an irreversible settlement due to cyclic rainfall was observed. - An application of performance-based design concept to design of compacted groundHonda, M; A.

To predict the long term elasto-plastic behavior of unsaturated earth structures, the constitutive model, which can express the following typical behavior of unsaturated soil, is needed. One is shrinkage and stiffness increase due to suction increase, second one is collapse with stiffness decrease due to suction decrease, and the last one is the influences of suction history relating to the hysteresis of soil-water retention characteristics. In this study, a constitutive model of unsaturated soil applied the effective degree of saturation as parameter expressing stiffness was proposed. The model showed good agreement with the experimental results and the appropriateness of the model was demonstrated. - KAWAI Katsuyuki; IIZUKA Atsushi; SHIMONAGA Katsuyuki; TACHIBANA ShinyaJournal of Applied Mechanics, JSCE Japan Society of Civil Engineers 10 (10) 375 - 381 1345-9139 2007 [Refereed]
It is known that the vegetation is effective in preventing slope failure. In this study, we focus on the vegetation uptake from ground and show the way to estimate its effects on the ground quantitatively. The effect of uptake can be regarded as reduction of water content within soil. The ‘root element’, where the reduction of water content occurs, is applied to the existing code of soil/water coupled finite element analysis with unsaturated soil mechanics. To estimate the effects of uptake, three kinds of conditions, such as the amount of uptake water, the initial degree of saturation of the ground, and groundwater level are provided. Consequently, it was found that the uptake increased suction and encouraged non-uniform settlement of ground surface. Its effects appeared prominently in a dry ground having low groundwater level and much uptake. This method is effective to understand the effects of vegetation. - M. Honda; A. Iizuka; S. Ohno; K.

This paper discusses the volume change characteristics of compacted soil based on oedometer test results. After making specimens with different water contents and under different compaction loads, compression tests are conducted under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. The effects of the compaction conditions on the compression curves are discussed. It is confirmed that the yield stress and the water content are important factors when evaluating a compression curve, while dry density and suction are important factors when evaluating the yield stress.

This paper proposes a new mathematical formulation for the unsaturated soil-water coupled stress-deformation problem in which the advection and dispersion phenomena are taken into consideration. The conventional mathematical formulation for advection and dispersion phenomenon cannot take account of influence arising from the stress change and deformation of the ground. Therefore, if some construction works such as irrigation facilities and wells are planed as measures for some contamination damage, their influence on the advection and dispersion phenomena of the contaminant cannot be quantitatively examined by the conventional mathematical formulation. Then, in this paper, a new mathematical formulation for the advection and dispersion phenomena is rebuilt and a set of governing equations coupled with the soil deformation is presented. This new formulation is capable of introducing any constitutive model for unsaturated and saturated soil. In this paper, an elasto-plastic constitutive model for unsaturated and saturated soil proposed by Kawai et al. is employed together with the water retention model for the unsaturated soil considering the hysteresis response under wetting and drying processes. Finally, the performance of this new formulation for advection and dispersion phenomena is demonstrated through a numerical simulation of salt damage in an imaginary ground. - HONDA Michinori; IIZUKA Atsushi; OHNO Shintaro; KAWAI Katsuyuki; WANG WeichuanDoboku Gakkai Ronbunshu Japan Society of Civil Engineers No.806 (806) 33 - 44 0289-7806 2005/12 [Refereed]

Each of the specimens was made under different water content, different compaction loads and different methods representing static and dynamic compaction, and the compression tests were conducted in soaked condition and unsaturated condition. The effect of the conditions of compaction for the compression curve is discussed.
The evaluation method for deformation characteristic of compacted soil is discussed and the constitutive model for the compacted soil is proposed. Using the derived equations, the oedmeter test results were simulated. The calculation results simulate the compression curve of compacted soil well, by using the parameters of suction, water content and yield stress. - Mechanical behavior of partly saturated ground considering the effect of evaporation and transpirationIIZUKA Atsushi; KAWAI K; WANG WThe International Symposium on Numerical Simulation of Environmental Problems, Okayama, 2004 October, Journal of the Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology, Okayama University 203-209 2005/05 [Refereed]

Changes in the instantaneous shear modulus associated with the non-coaxiality of NC clay materials are presented. A series of hollow cylindrical shear tests was performed to measure the changes in the instantaneous shear modulus with shear history. After each normally consolidated clay specimen was compressively sheared until a prescribed shear level, it was continuously torsionally sheared under a constant volume to measure the instantaneous shear modulus. Coaxial constitutive relations, such as these of the conventional Cam-clay type of models, predict that the instantaneous shear modulus obtained, does not change regardless of the compressive shear history. On the contrary, it is known that non-coaxial constitutive relations theoretically bring about changes in the instantaneous shear modulus in relation to the compressive shear history. The test results supported the predictions made by the non-coaxial constitutive models. Finally, the proper formulation for the non-coaxiality between the stress and the incremental plastic strain is discussed. - Influence of ground improvement on the quality of man-made islandsIizuka,A; H.

This paper presents the modeling of the composite soil-geosynthetic structure and discusses the effect of the reinforcement arising from the confining of the deformation of the soil by geosynthetics. A series of compressive shear tests for compacted sandy soil specimens, wrapped in geosynthetics, is carried out for the purpose of quantitatively examining the effect of the geosynthetic reinforcement arising from the confining of the deformation of compacted soils during shearing. Furthermore, an elasto-plastic modeling for compacted soil and a rational determination procedure for input parameters, needed in the elasto-plastic modeling, are presented. In this paper, the subloading yielding Surface is introduced to the elasto-plastic modeling in order to describe the irreversible deformation characteristics of compacted soil during shearing. Since compacted soil is essentially unsaturated and its mechanical behavior is influenced by the suction working in the compacted soil media, the suction effect is taken into account in estimating of the degree of compaction. Finally, an elasto-plastic finite element simulation is conducted and the geosynthetic-reinforcement effect is presented. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

There are some constitutive models for unsaturated soil. However, their mathematical structures, particularly for expression of collapse phenomenon, are essentially the same. Therefore, it is possible to unify the constitutive models which were proposed in the past. In this paper, a generalized constitutive model for unsaturated soils is presented. First, we outline existing constitutive models for unsaturated soil and, next, we propose a comprehensive constitutive model for unsaturated soils in terms of the effective stress for unsaturated soils. To this new elasto-plastic model, it is easier to introduce sophisticated methods such as a rotational hardening, a subloading surface and so forth. This model is formulated in the form of incremental general stress and strain relationship and is incorporated into a finite element code, DACSAR-U, for unsaturated soils. The performance of the new constitutive model is demonstrated by comparing with the models proposed by Karube et at and by Honda et al - Safety and Symbiosis' form Viewpoint of geomechanicsIIZUKA Atsushi; KAWAI K; WANG WProc.

The mechanical behavior of soils is essentially dependent on the stress/deformation history in the past. It implies that the choice of construction sequence influences on the quality of the soil structure. This paper describes the numericalsimulation of a geo-dome excavation for CAES, which is an energy store system originally proposed by Hayashi. Throughout examining the deformation of ground and effective stress change with the construction sequence in representative elements, the crucial points not only in the construction stage but also in the long term use are tried to find. Herein, two dimensional soil/water coupled elasto-viscoplastic finite element technique is employed in the computation.

A series of triaxial compression tests is carried out on the unsaturated silty kaolin clays. Specimens are subjected to undrained compressive shear under the conditions of constant air pressure. The pore water pressure and volume change during shear are monitored. The pore water pressure develops with compression and then turns to decrease with expansion when the degree of saturation is relatively high. On the contrary to it, when the degree of saturation is low, the pore water pressure monotonically increases independent of volume change. These experimental facts can be explained from the effects of the bulk stress. Thus, throughout experimental investigations, it is revealed that the behaviors of unsaturated soils are consistently explained in terms of the meniscus and the bulk stresses. Particularly, it is found that the failure criterion on unsaturated soils can be uniquely described using the suction stress, which is defined as the summation of meniscus and bulk stresses. - 下負荷面弾朔性構成モデルを用いた土/水連成弾朔性動的有限要素解析手法の開発IIZUKA Atsushi; OHNO Shintaro; KAWAI Katsuyuki; TATEYAMA Kazuyoshi応用力学論文集 Vol.5,pp.601-610 2002/09 [Refereed]

The mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils strongly depends on the pore water distribution as well as the suction. The water characteristic curve (W. C. C) specifying the pore water content and the suction value plays a very important role in describing the mechanical modeling for unsaturated soils. However, the W. R. 0 shows the hysteresis loop in the wetting/drying processes. This paper emphasizes the importance of considering the hysteresis of W.C.C in the modeling. The accumulation of irreversible strains in the soil structures caused by rainfalls cannot be explained well without considering the hysteresis of W. C. C. An existing model of W. C. C is modified so as to express the accumulation of irreversible strains as the cyclic suction loading. Finally, it is shown that the modified model well explains the experimental results. - IIZUKA Atsushi; OHNO Shintaro; KAWAI Katsuyuki; TATEYAMA KazuyoshiJournal of applied mechanics Japan Society of Civil Engineers 5 (5) 601 - 610 1345-9139 2002 [Refereed]
This paper describes the development of soil/water coupled dynamic finite element computation technique considering irreversible deformation characteristics of porous media such as soils. Incremental governing equations taking into account of the effect of acceleration, first, are summarized and discretized in spatial and time domain. Thus obtained discretized equations are formulated based on the finite element technique so that the acceleration and the total pore water head are unknown values that should be solved under imposed boundary and initial conditions. The finite element code newly developed in this paper is verified by comparing some strict solutions for solid/water coupled problems and is examined whether the seismic responses of soil/water coupled media can be explained. Fina ly, the vertical settlement due to the horizontal seismic external force is successfully simulated. - KAWAI Katsuyuki; KIM Eunra; NAGARETA Hiroyuki; IIZUKA Atsushi; HONDA MichinoriJournal of applied mechanics Japan Society of Civil Engineers 5 (5) 785 - 792 1345-9139 2002 [Refereed]
The objective of this study is to apply mechanics of unsaturated soils to prediction of compacted soils behavior. First, we performed static compaction tests with monitoring the change of applied stress and suction of specimen during compaction. Next, we carried out compression tests for the statically compactedsoil specimen and measured consolidation yield stress of them. As a result, it was found that suction of compacted soil depends on the dry density as well as the water content. Moreover, compression lines of compacted soil retaining samesuction converged into on unique compression line. Finally, we proposed the simple method to predict consolidation yield stress of compacted soil using simplified model of unsaturated soils. - KATO Shoji; YOSHIMURA Yuji; KAWAI Katsuyuki; SUNDEN WataruDoboku Gakkai Ronbunshu Japan Society of Civil Engineers 687 (687) 201 - 218 0289-7806 2001/09 [Refereed]
Using the silty clay specimens that were compacted in the constant energy under various water contents, unconfined compression test, in which suction and volume change of specimen were measured, was carried out. The obtained stress-strain relations showed the tendency that depends on the initial degrees of saturation of the specimens. The measured relation between the suction stress and suction at failure showed similar tendency with the predicted ones based on the water content characteristic curve. This result means the possibility of estimating the suction vs. the adhesive force relation by unconfined compression test. And. when the suction stress was taken into account as a confining net stress, the stress state at failure followed the failure criterion for unsaturated soil proposed by Fredlund, Morgenstern & Widger. This result of silty clay means that the undrained strength follows the failure criterion based on the test results test under drained condition. - K Kawai; D KarubePROCEEDINGS OF THE FIFTEENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING VOLS 1-3 A A BALKEMA PUBLISHERS 589 - 592 2001 [Refereed]
Suction influences on the mechanical behavior of unsaturated soil. However, suction cannot be regarded as a part of effective stress. ne interpretation of suction effect is of much difference in the formulation of constitutive modeling. The authors have confirmed that we can predict the shear strength of unsaturated soil by adding the suction-induced stress to the net normal stress. In this study, anisotropical consolidation tests are performed under the condition of various net normal stress ratios. As a result, the relationship between the stress ratio and the incremental strain ratio is obtained. And the coefficient of earth pressure at rest is estimated by interpolation. The effects of suction on strains are revealed clearly. - Daizo Karube; Katsuyuki KawaiGeotechnical and Geological Engineering 19 (3-4) 211 - 241 0960-3182 2001 [Refereed]
Deformation and failure of soils are governed by the stresses acting on the soil skeleton. The isotropic stress acting on the soil skeleton can be divided into two components. One is the stress component which is transmitted through the soil skeleton. This skeleton stress is influenced by the pore water ("bulk water") in the soil. The other is the internal stress component which does not contribute to equilibrium with a given external force. The internal stress is induced by the capillary tension of meniscus water clinging to the contact point of soil particles and acts so as to connect the soil particles tightly. Therefore, in modeling the stress and strain relations for unsaturated soils, it is of much importance to quantitatively evaluate how the pore water exists in the soil. This paper discusses the role of pore water on the mechanical behaviour of the soil. In particular, the significance of the water retention curve is emphasized from a mechanical viewpoint. Essential features required in modeling of the constitutive relations for unsaturated soils are discussed and presented. - KARUBE Daizo; FUKAGAWA Yoshitaka; HONDA Shuji; KAWAI KatsuyukiDoboku Gakkai Ronbunshu Japan Society of Civil Engineers 665 (665) 1 - 18 0289-7806 2000/12 [Refereed]

Three kinds of wetting test were conducted on compacted clay specimens. (i) wetting tests under isotropic stress state, (ii) wetting tests under constant shear stress, and (iii) repeated wetting during shear test under a constant mean net stress. Collapse occurred later in comparison to isotropic stress state conditions under triaxial stress state when shear stress was kept constant. This phenomenon is due to the decrease of the coefficient of permeability, which relates to the changes associated with bulk water to meniscus water. The relationship between void ratio change and increase in water content observed under the different stress states tested showed similar behavior. In the repeated wetting during shear test, a continuous decrease in void ratio was observed with water absorption and drainage. This phenomenon is also related to the change of the bulk water to meniscus water. The secondary wetting process is observed in the experimental testing program discussed in this paper. The presently available constitutive models do not take into account the secondary wetting process. The research studies presented in this paper provide more insight into the collapse behavior.

The water retention curve, which represents the relation of water content and suction value of soils, cannot be uniquely specified even in the same material. It shows the hysteresis loops between the drying and the wetting process. And also it varies depending on initial conditions. In this paper, the dependency of the water retention curve on void ratio is examined. The void ratio dependency dominantly influences the air and the water entry characteristics of unsaturated soils. Finally an attempt to quantitatively express the water retention curve is made considering the void ratio dependency. The model proposed in this paper can be applied to prediction of unsaturated soil behaviors. - HONDA Michinori; IIZUKA Atsushi; KAWAI Katsuyuki; KARUBE DaizoDoboku Gakkai Ronbunshu Japan Society of Civil Engineers 2000 (659) 153 - 164 0289-7806 2000 [Refereed]
The stress-strain relationship for unsaturated soil is discussed in this paper. Based on the Karube's theory, two types of the suction stress are used, and a new concept on the plastic yield condition and hardening parameter is proposed. The stresses used are called bulk stress pb and meniscus stress pm. Effects of pore water composition for mechanical behavior are presented by using two types of suction stress. As a result, constitutive model is derived by associated flow rule is proposed. Using the derived equations, triaxial compression test and consolidation test with suction change are simulated. The calculation results simulate two types of the test data well. - IIZUKA Atsushi; HONDA Michinori; NISHIDA Hirofumi; KAWAI Katsuyuki; KARUBE DaizoDoboku Gakkai Ronbunshu Japan Society of Civil Engineers 2000 (659) 165 - 178 0289-7806 2000 [Refereed]
This paper presents a soil/water coupled formulation for unsaturated soil mass as an initial-boundary value problem, in which the constitutive equation for unsaturated soils proposed by Karube et al. is employed. This model is characterized in terms of bulk stress and meniscus stress. And also the water retention curve plays an important role to specify their inner stress components in the theoretical formulation of constitutive modeling. A soil/water finite element code is examined throughout comparison with some analytical solutions. Finally, in this paper, the F. E. code is applied to an initial-boundary value problem and the stress/deformation developing inside the domain is examined. The importance of considering mechanical characteristics of unsaturated soils is emphasized in the case of analysis of soil structures such as the core of rock fill dam.

The three-dimensional distribution of volumetric strain due to freezing and thawing was calculated by Digital Volume Correlation to three-dimensional images of saturated silica sand before freezing, after freezing, and after thawing taken by X-ray CT. The time change of the distribution of volume strain in the soil was measured by the three-dimensional images of silica sand cooling from the bottom, and it was confirmed that as the freezing of the soil progressed from the bottom upward, the volume strain also expanded upward.

We focus on the roller compaction, which is used for in actual earthmoving construction. Here, nonuniformity of compaction degree within earth structure constructed by roller compaction was investigated through model tests and numerical simulations. Moreover, behavior of infiltrated rainwater in small embankment models monitored by various sensors was compared with unsaturated seepage theory. The electrical prospecting was also conducted on these models to investigate its applicability.

However, the behavior of air phase induced by rainfall infiltration has not been sufficiently investigated. In this study, air pressure behavior within an earth structure was investigated through soil/water/air coupled simulation and a full-scale embankment test. First, rainfall infiltration into a slope was simulated under various conditions and it was found that air pressure localization occurs due to rainfall infiltration. Next, the infiltration behavior was monitored on full scale embankment. Consequently, different tendency of air pressure distribution according to rainfall intensity was obtained and it showed good agreement with simulation results.

As to desertification, over-logging, overgrazing and salinization are the three major factors, accounting for the approximately 80% of entire desertification. It is caused by the deviation of the water circulation between the aerospace and the ground due to deforestation, especially the desertification due to salinization is caused by high concentration of salinity, basically diluted in the underground water. Such salt damage is observed in a wide range of areas of the Eurasian continent. In this study, a FE simulator which can represent the desertification mechanism by such salt damage is developed and a salt damage deterrence construction method is developed with taking account of utilization of granular materials such as recycling of PS ash and water purification plant sludge.

Therefore, we have to explain compaction, which has been empirically conducted so far, in the framework of soil mechanics. In this study, the compaction is regarded as soil/water/air coupled problem first and numerically simulated. Moreover, mass transportation equation is applied to the simulation code and the method to simultaneously predict the behavior of solution within ground is developed.

Underground water contains weakly salt where the salt rock layer is occasionally deposited near the ground surface. Such a typical example can be seen in the northeast area of Thailand. Agricultural productivity decreases due to the salt damage of that the salty ground water level gradually rises resulting in appearance of salt crystals on the ground surface associated with annual repeat of rainy and dry seasons. This research project is intended to develop a numerical computation technique to reveal the mechanism of salt damage which will lead desertification. On the other hand, paper sludge discharged from paper manufacture causes a serious environmental problem. Such sludge can be changed to porous stable ceramic materials by burning it at 1300 degrees. This research project also aims at utilizing such materials to protect and repair the salt damage.

Therefore, the countermeasure considering complicated external impacts to the ground is needed. In this study, we developed the soil/water/air coupled F. E. simulator, which can express deformation of the ground, groundwater flow, and mass transfer within the ground. Moreover, monitoring of evaporation with lysimeter tests is conducted for improving analysis accuracy. Finally, the soil stratification resistant to salt disaster is proposed.

A series of compressive shear tests for compacted sandy soil specimens, wrapped in geosynthetics, is carried out for the purpose of quantitatively examining the effect of the geosynthetic reinforcement arising from the confining of the deformation of compacted soils during shearing. Furthermore, an elasto-plastic modeling for compacted soil and a rational determination procedure for input parameters, needed in the elasto-plastic modeling, are presented. Then, the subloading yielding surface is introduced to the elasto-plastic modeling in order to describe the irreversible deformation characteristics of compacted soil during shearing. Since compacted soil is essentially unsaturated and its mechanical behavior is influenced by the suction working in the compacted soil media, the suction effect is taken into account in estimating of the degree of compaction. Finally, an elasto-plastic finite element simulation is conducted and the geosynthetic-reinforcement effect is presented.

The influences of the intergranular adhesive force on the failure criterion and shear deformation are examined. The obtained results are summarized as follows. 1. The internal friction angle and the adhesion for triaxial stress state increased with the intergranular adhesive force. This result corresponds to the triaxial test results obtained for unsaturated soil, and shows the effectiveness of introducing the intergranular adhesive force for DEM analysis to study the mechanism of unsaturated soil and the other granular materials with cohesion. 2. The Lade failure criterion on the π plane explained well the failure stress state regardless of the intergranular adhesive force. This result means that the Lade failure criterion is able to use the failure criterion for unsaturated soil and the other granular materials with cohesion. 3. The residual stress points on the π plane distribute around the SMP failure criterion. This result means that the SMP failure criterion is able to use the contractive material like normally consolidated clay. The counters of shear strain show the similar shape with the Lade failure criterion at near to failure state. This result shows that the Lade failure criterion should dominate the shear deformation of expansive granular materials with cohesion.

The attention is paid to confining effect by the geosynthetics under shearing. The confining effect is interpreted as the mechanical interaction such that the reinforcement works so as to prevent dilative deformation of compacted soils. The investigators, first, try to explain the geosynthetic-reinforcement mechanism throughout a series of finite element simulations for geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures, in which the soils are modeled as elasto-plastic materials considering dilatancy characteristics of compacted soils. However, in order to heighten the usefulness of such a numerical simulation in the practical design work, the authors realized that the mechanical interaction between soils and reinforcement, that is, the reinforcement mechanism, should be more precisely understood from a viewpoint of mechanical characteristics of soils itself. Then, a series of laboratory tests for compacted (usually unsaturated) sandy soils is carried out. And some model tests in the laboratory are also performed. Compacted soil specimens (30 cm in diameter and 40 cm in height) are wrapped by geosynthetics. The specimens are laid on the uniaxial loading apparatus and are subjected to compressive shear. The extensive stresses working to the geosynthetics are measured during shear.

In the engineering practice, the specification of strength parameters in an important task in the design work of soil structure. the specimen in the laboratory tests is intended and generally assumed to represent a single point in the in-situ soil medium. However, since the uniformity of stress/strain distribution within the specimen is hardly achieved during shearing, the strength parameters thus obtained cannot be essentially regarded as material properties. In this research project, the mathematical formulation of initial-boundary value problem for soil mass was presented and the finite element code was developed considering pore water migration in the soil media. After examining the numerical stability of the finite element scheme, the triaxial compression shear test of a clay specimen is simulated under the plane strain condition. It is revealed that the shear band observed as the strain localization in clay specimen always develops with dilation, which can be called the localization of dilatancy. Moreover is examined the applicability of such non-linear soil/water coupled formulation in the engineering practice in this study. Particularly, the geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures were considered and their reinforcement mechanism was examined.
