Sinkholes formed in soils are generally of a sudden, catastrophic nature, and understanding of cover-collapse sinkholes presents probably the biggest challenge to research communities due to the difficulties in formulating an effective quantitativ

The explicit finite difference program, FLAC is used to model the behavior of geomaterials around a cavity in a potential water drawdown scenario. A parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of different mechanical and

30、 hydraulic properties. The results show some key characteristics of sinkhole subsidence and collapse, and demonstrate the feasibility of a numerical modelling approach which must be complimented by theoretical and analytical developments to be able to explore many intricacies and complexities of the

31、 mechanisms involved in the mechanisms of cavity growth and propagation. INTRODUCTION Sinkholes are a spectacular yet devastating geo-hazard which poses a significant threat to environment, infrastructure and human lives. The conceptual nature of the involved key mechanisms is well-known, as it is u

Geo-China 2016 GSP 257 1 ASCEHowever, there has not been extensive geomechanical and geotechnical research devoted to the study of sinkholes; current practice heavily relies on the traditional geological approach o

34、r guidelines of empirical nature. Sinkholes can develop in karstic bedrocks where the dissolution of soluble rocks plays a dominant role, or in overlying soil layers where complex hydro-mechanical processes are involved. The progress of rock failure is much dependent on dissolution in karstic rocks

35、and in general this process usually require extended periods of time likely in geological scale for limestone, while gypsum or anhydrite dissolves at a moderate rate but dissolution of rock salt (Halite) occurs quite rapidly (e.g., Waltham et al. 2005). Sinkholes formed in soils are a more widesprea

They can manifest either as a gradual process of surface depression in so-called cover-subsidence sinkholes, or a sudden soil collapse in

37、 cover-collapse sinkholes that are typically caused by the growth and upward propagation of the cavity and eventual failure of soil arch over the growing cavity in the soil layer. The development of these two types of sinkholes is often a very complicated process in which water flow plays a critical

38、 role. The complexity of sinkhole development strongly suggests a necessity of multi-physics considerations to address the interaction of geomaterials with other geochemical and hydrological processes. Geotechnical investigations of sinkholes have been traditionally centered on the analysis of stabi

39、lity around a cavity/opening (e.g., Drumm et al. 1990; Abdulla and Goodings 1996; Goodings and Abdulla 2002; Augarde et al. 2003), usually with an aim to identify the limit or maximum load (e.g., overburden pressure) as a function of geometric configuration of soil layer and cavity size and strength

40、 properties. Geotechnical research of sinkholes can certainly be enhanced by theoretical, analytical and numerical efforts to explore the geomechanics of sinkholes in an innovative way that enables understanding of the progressive nature of the sinkhole process. This paper presents some of the preli

It specifically focuses on the sinkhole formed in soils typically triggered or affected by complex hydrogeological events. General modelling ap

The underlying mechanisms of subsidence and collapse in soils are also discussed and the presented simulations are focused on the scenarios of water drawdown. BA

43、CKGROUND AND BASICS OF NUMERICAL MODELLING An in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanisms for sinkhole failure in soils remain elusive, in particular, the continuing growth and propagation in a cohesive soil is a very intricate process, no consensual theory or explanation has yet offered a clear quantitative description. This process is almost invariably associated with water flow usually (but not always) as a consequence of drawdown. Paradoxically both water drawdown and excessive rainfall can trigger this type of failure, indicating different Geo-China 2016 GSP 257 2 ASCE
