This study is analyzed by numerical analysis using finite element method program of Plaxis-3D Tunnel at Kaohsiung Science Park in Taiwan. It probes the risk of tunneling procedure adopting pipe jacking construction (PJC) with man–made excavation. The main parameters of numerical calculation in this research include advancement size, soil improvement ratio and void contraction ratio, etc. Those parameters are calculated to displacement and stress distribution and we get ground movement, settlement at crown and heave at invert of tunnel excavation to assess the security. This study finds that it is safe by excavation using PJC with man-made while the gap has to be less than 38mm. Actually, the gap is 100 ~ 150mm under PJC with man-made, and it will result in high risk. Therefore, the PJC with shield has more security than other methods through monitoring ground settlement.
In this study the high polymer materials and Trinidad lake asphalt are used as a modifier mixed by a specific proportion of base asphalt AC-20. There are modified asphalt, containing viscosity, penetration degree, ductility, softening point and film aging tests in this study. We get the values of temperature scanning, creep scanning and frequency scanning by Dynamic shear rheometer. These values are used to assess the rheological characteristics of a variety of modified asphalt. Thus they provide various reference materials on the pavement.
From the 921 earthquake to the major typhoons, including the Morakot typhoon, they damaged original landscape of rivers in Taiwan. In recent years, it alleged that abutment bridge exposed to the most serious security problems. Because of bridge piers in addition to the face of long-term river erosion, the flood on the pier will produce localized erosion near the bridge. The pier will be due to inadequate bearing capacity, resulting in subsidence, displacement, bridge version accompanied by tilting and even caving. The river erosion of soil around the piers deposits and production of contraction will often reduce the bearing capacity. Therefore, how to accurately estimate the scour depth, calculate piers to withstand water impact and analyses its stability for preventing injuries in the first place is the current pressing issues. In this study, three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) analysis program Plaxis 3D foundation is used. Polaris second bridge is selected for analysis. Based on local scouring of the model and various numerical variable conditions, the parameter of bridge pier is studied.
The study gives an example of the sinking pier case at Takeda Interchange of National Highway NO.3 in Taiwan. We got the monitoring data, explored the impact on the consolidation settlement of piled-raft foundation from construction procedure and soil improvement by finite element method「Plaxis8.2」and predicted the degree of post-settlement. Analytic results are shown as follows:Firstly, the soil consolidation settlement model is built by the estimated soil parameters using the data of soil exploration. The calculation value of settlement and the measured value are identical. Secondly, soil improvement only shows effective in initial stage. The pre-consolidation settlement is smaller when building embankment is before pier than when building pier is before embankment.
It is a dip slope with mudstone and sandstone interbedded at the northward 363K National Highway NO.3. in Taiwan. The Figure 1 showed the slope sliding due to continuous heavy rain on August 19, 2010. This study analyses the slope stability by the finite element method of program PLAXIS-2D, and explores the suitability of various control engineering methods. It is named analysis before design with anchors in this study before September 2010. The aim is to search the original parameters of the ground by comparing a potential sliding surface with monitor data of site. Then countermeasure analyzes the impact based on the loss of anchor prestress and the row of piles set. From the results of analysis, sliding surface analysis and the data which was derived from the early monitor judgments are consistent. The ground anchor has been unable to achieve good stable slope effect for the slope sliding, due to heavy rains. However, the rows of pile construction significantly improved the stability of the slope.
