    Abstract
  • To determine the ultimate earth pressure behind integral abutment subjected to horizontal cyclic displacements, the back analysis using the finite difference numerical simulation was performed on five sets of model tests of integral abutments. A soil constitutive model capable of reflecting the high modulus and highly non-linear stiffness property of soil within the small strain range was utilized, and the properties of the interface between the soil and the abutment were considered. Through the application of horizontal displacements at the abutment top. Earth pressures behind the abutments measured at different cycles were back-analyzed. The corresponding small strain stiffness parameter of soil was obtained, and the evolution laws of the small strain stiffness of soil behind the abutments in each set of model tests during the cyclic loading process were revealed. On the basis of the above findings, the formulas were proposed to estimate the increasing multiple of the small strain stiffness of soil behind the integral abutments with a hinged base and a spread base separately. Then, a method was proposed to design and calculate the ultimate earth pressure behind the integral abutments with the consideration of soil-abutment interaction. Research results show that for the abutment with a hinged base, the increasing multiple of the small strain stiffness of soil increases with the rise in the relative displacement at the abutment top before and after the cyclic loading, while it decreases with the increase in the relative density of soil behind the abutment. For the abutment with a spread base, the increasing multiple of the small strain stiffness of soil increases at a slower rate with the rise in the relative displacement at the abutment top compared with that in the case of a hinged base, but it is slightly influenced by the relative density of soil behind the abutment. Compared with the British design guidance PD 6694-1, the proposed formulas consider the influences of the above multi-factors and can make reasonable prediction on the increasing multiple of the small strain stiffness of soil obtained from the back analysis on different model tests. It can be a reference for the design of integral abutments.
