Quantitative Study of Bioenzyme-Treated Silty Soil’s Hysteresis Curve Characteristics
摘要
This paper quantitatively analyses the macroscopic characteristics of soil hysteretic curves under dynamic loading and examines the elastic properties, viscosity, meso-damage degree and energy consumption of soil from a macroscopic perspective. Given the lack of research on the hysteresis characteristics of bioenzyme-modified silty soil, a series of dynamic triaxial tests were conducted under varying bioenzyme dosages, confining pressures, loading frequencies, and other conditions. The analysis focused on several parameters: the slope of the major axis of the hysteretic curve k, the ratio of the major to minor axes α, the distance between the central points of adjacent hysteretic curves d, and the area enclosed by the hysteretic curve S. These were used for quantitative analysis of the morphological characteristics, influencing factors, and changing patterns of the hysteresis curve in bioenzyme-modified silty soil. The results showed that the hysteresis curve of the bioenzyme-improved silty soil resembled an inclined ellipse. Under the influence of different bioenzymes dosages, confining pressures, and loading frequencies, k and α decreased as dynamic stress increased, while d and S increased exponentially with rising dynamic stress. When the bioenzyme dosage was 0.01%, the k value was largest, and α, d and S were smallest. With increasing confining pressure, k increased, while α, d, and S decreased. As the loading frequency increased, k, α, and d decreased, while S gradually increased. At a bioenzyme dosage of 0.01%, the bioenzyme had the greatest effect on improving the silty soil.
