Abstract
For the interaction of crack on the soil-grout interface under fracture grouting, an approximate method to determine the stress intensity factor (SIF) of crack on the soil-grout interface was proposed based on the conservation J(2)-integral. With this method, the energy release rate of crack propagation under fracture grouting can be defined by the parameters of elastic-plastic soils and the grouting pressure. In order to study the change of strain energy near the crack of elastic-plastic soil under fracture grouting, a mechanical model of elastic-plastic soil with crack was established based on non-associated Mohr-Coulomb criterion model, and the SIF of crack with spring boundary was investigated. The influence of the crack depth ratio and crack aspect ratio on the SIF of cracks under the spring boundary were analyzed, and revealed the rule of crack growth under fracture grouting in elastic-plastic soils. The results showed that the variation of the crack depth ratio and crack aspect ratio had an effect on the change of the SIF of cracks. Increasing the crack depth ratio and crack aspect ratio caused an increase in the SIF of the crack. The results can provide the reference for foundation reinforcement in elastic-plastic soils.
