The dilatancy deformation and particle breakage effects of coarse-grained soil have a significant influence on the safety and stability of high earth and rock-fill dams. To study the shear deformation and particle breakage characteristics of coarse-grained soil, four groups of soil sample with different coarse grain contents were to conduct consolidated drained triaxial compression tests by DJSZ-150 large-scale triaxial compression test machine. The results showed that the volume of coarse-grained soil changes significantly under deviation stress. The soil samples underwent positive dilatancy under the confining pressures of 200 kPa and 400 kPa but negative dilatancy under the confining pressures of 600 kPa and 800 kPa. When increasing the coarse grain contents in the soil sample under the same confining pressure, the positive dilatancy was more significant. A three-parameter dilatancy equation of coarse-grained soil considering confining pressure was established, in which the parameter L = 4 could serve as a criterion for whether the coarse-grained soil underwent positive dilatancy. Under the load, the coarse-grained soil showed three particle breakage modes: abrasion, attrition, and fracture. The coarse-grained soil particle size distribution before and after breakage conformed to the fractal characteristics, and the particle breakage rate increased significantly with larger soil particle size fractal dimension differences before and after the test. The coarse grain content and the confining pressure are two important factors affecting the mechanical properties of coarse-grained soil, and they control the shear deformation of soil.
In order to explore the mechanical response characteristics of coarse-grained soil in waste dump under different consolidation stress conditions, the isobaric consolidation drained triaxial test and K0 consolidation drainage triaxial test under different confining pressures are performed, and the test data of stress-strain and volume deformation of soil are compared and analysed. The results show that the initial stress of soil under K0 consolidation condition is not zero. The shear stress-strain curves of soil with different consolidation conditions show hardening characteristics. When confining pressure increases, the shear stress of isobaric consolidated soil increases rapidly, and its failure shear stress increases significantly compared with K0 consolidated soil. Shear expansion of coarse-grained soil under low confining pressure and shear shrinkage under high confining pressure. Under low confining pressure, K0 consolidated soil is more prone to shear expansion, and the amount of shear expansion is greater than that of isobaric consolidated soil. Under medium and high confining pressure, the volume compression change of isobaric consolidated soil is greater than that of K0 consolidated soil. The initial tangent Poisson’s ratio of coarse-grained soil under different consolidation stress conditions decreases with the increase of confining pressure, and changes in a power function with the confining pressure. The cohesion of soil under isobaric consolidation stress condition, while the difference of internal friction angle of soil under different consolidation stress condition is small. The strength and deformation characteristics of soil are closely related to the initial stress state of soil. The triaxial test is used to obtain the shear strength index of soil, and the isobaric consolidation condition should not be used instead of K0 consolidation condition.
Constructional engineering is the fundamental industry of China and along with the constantly improving of science and technology level in recent years, BIM technology has been gradually applied in constructional engineering feld of China, and it has exerted relatively sound application effects, thus actively proving the construction effciency and quality. In this study, mainly based on BIM technology, I analyze the application of BIM technology in structural design of constructional engineering respectively from feld data analysis, structure parameter design, interior design and professional coordination design, and analyze the application effects of BIM technology in structural design of constructional engineering by combining practical cases, which is expected to serve as the effective theoretical basis for the improvement of structural design of constructional engineering in China.
Particle breakage is an important factor affecting the strength and deformation of coarse-grained soil. In order to study the compaction characteristics and particle breakage effect of coarse-grained soil, the compaction tests of coarse-grained soil with different stone content and water content were designed. The results show that the dry density of coarse-grained soil first increases and then decreases with the increase of water content. With the increase of stone content, the maximum dry density and optimal moisture content of coarse-grained soil increase. After compaction test, the coarse-grained soil has obvious particle breakage phenomenon, and the particle breakage index increases with the increase of stone content and water content. The fractal dimension D can characterize the coarse-grained content of coarse-grained soil. With the increase of coarse-grained content, the fractal dimension D decreases gradually.
