Abstract:Based on the physics of large post-liquefaction deformation of sand and the related elastic-plastic constitutive model suited for two dimensional stress space,mapping rules for plasticity and dilatancy are formulated in three dimensional stress space,and the three dimensional model for the analysis of post-liquefaction deformation of sand is established.According to the features of the model,for the model's numerical implementation into the open-source finite element platform OpenSees,the semi-explicit Cutting Plane algorithm is used as the stress integration scheme,and the Pegasus algorithm is used to locate the stress projection on the bounding surface.Combined with coupled u-p elements,simulations on an undrained cyclic torsional shear test is conducted,and a three dimensional site response analysis is also performed,the simulation and analysis exhibite the model's great capabilities in simulating small to large deformation in the pre-to post-liquefaction regime of sand.
