Abstract:Research purposes:The material properties of drain well are so different than those of surrounding soil, so the contact interface elements are needed in the simulation of smear layer. But most contact interface elements only can reflect the stress-strain property and can not reflect the penetrable property. In order to consider the settlement difference between drain well and soft soil as well as the penetrability of contact interface elements, a new kind coupled contact interface element is developed to simulate smear layer.
Research conclusions:Based on considering the effect of smear layer, 16-node constant thickness contact interface elements coupled with 8-node isometric elements are used to simulate the smear layer of drain wells. A relevant finite-element program is made to analyze two practical examples. The result is verified reasonable shows that the coupled element model is effective and can be used in numerical analysis for construction.
