摘要:
A constitutive model of methane hydrate-bearing sediment (MHBS) was recently proposed based on a stress partition framework (SPF-MHBS). To capture the mechanical behavior of MHBS under a wide range of effective confining pressures, this study introduces the equivalent granular void ratio (e*) and the particle breakage index (Br) associated with critical state variables into the original SPF-MHBS model. A comprehensive set of triaxial tests on MHBS under 0.2-20 MPa effective confining stress were simulated. The simulation results indicate that based on appropriate parameter calibration, the response of specimens under low effective confining stress can be acceptably represented using the original SPF-MHBS model. However, at high confining stress, the simulated strength of pure sand was overestimated, while that of the hydrate-bearing specimen was and underestimated. Dilatancy was also significantly overestimated at high confining stress. After introducing the e* into the original model, the performance under relatively low pressure is improved and three model parameters are reduced from the original model. After introduction of Br, the model performance is further improved at high confining stress. The improvements allow the SPF-MHBS model to provide a unified description of MHBS behavior under a wide range of confining stress.
