Finite-Element Analysis of Failure in Transversely Isotropic Geomaterials
AbstractThe strength and failure behaviors of geomaterials, such as soils and rocks, are commonly anisotropic because of lamination and sedimentation. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of anisotropy on the localization pattern and bearing capacity of geostructures by finite-element simulation. To this aim, an extended Drucker-Prager yield criterion is developed for transversely isotropic geomaterials based on the Cosserat continuum. In this criterion, the internal frictional angle is related to the material principal direction and the mixed invariant of the stress tensor and the microstructure tensor. The corresponding stress update and consistent elastoplastic tangent modulus matrix are presented. Numerical results show that the localization pattern and the bearing capacity of the geostructures are very sensitive to the material principal direction as well as the anisotropic degree.
