2 Six degree-of-freedom loading of a circular flat footing on loose sand: Experimental data B. Bienen 1, B.W. Byrne 2 and G.T. Houlsby 2 Summary This report documents a series of model tests of a rough circular flat footing on loose sand. Using a new experimental rig, the footing was subjected to general loading in three dimensions (six degrees-of-freedom). The data collected will be used to validate a footing macro model catering for all six degrees-of-freedom within the plasticity framework. Introduction Combined loading on shallow foundations has been successfully modelled through the framework of plasticity theory (Martin 1994, Cassidy 1999, Byrne 2000). By adjusting only a few parameters, these models can capture the main features of footing response on various soils. Based on experimental data on Kaolin clay, Martin (1994) developed Model B whereas Cassidy s (1999) Model C was calibrated with data from similar tests on dense silica sand. Since then, the model has also been successfully used to predict footing behaviour on loose carbonate sand (Byrne and Houlsby 2001). So far, the models have been applied to predict the response of flat circular footings, spudcans and suction caisson subjected to (V, M, H) planar loading. Model B and Model C have been theoretically extended to allow for general loading (Martin 1994, Cassidy and Bienen 2002) situations in six degrees-of-freedom and combined into one plasticity footing macro model known as ISIS (Houlsby 2003, Cassidy et al. 2004). However, only few data exist on shallow circular footings under loading in all three dimensions (Cassidy and Cheong 2005, Ap Gwilym 2004, Williams 2005) and full experimental validation of the model, particularly with regards to torsion and combined loading directions remains desirable. Experimental rig At the University of Oxford, a novel experimental rig has been developed for testing of shallow foundations under six degree-of-freedom loading (Byrne and Houlsby 2005, Figure 1). The footing to be tested is supported by a loading platform, which is moved by six actuators. These are pin-joined to the loading platform on the one end and the loading rig, which is bolted onto a steel ring, on the other. Using a control program, the six actuators act in concert to move the loading platform and thus the footing to the desired position. The actuators are arranged such 1 Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems, The University of Western Australia 2 Department of Engineering Science, The University of Oxford 2

3 that their combined movement in three dimensions is well-conditioned (Figure 1). To date, the rig is displacement-controlled only. The footing used in the tests reported here is circular (150 mm in diameter), flat and rough. The footing loads are monitored with a six degree-of-freedom load cell mounted between the footing and the loading platform (Figure 1). The footing displacements are measured with a set of six LVDTs, arranged in a similar fashion to the actuators but supported on a separate frame, which is also bolted onto the steel ring. The LVDT arrangement is illustrated in Figure 2. The separate frame ensures independence of the displacement measurements from the loading frame and thus minimises the influence of rig flexibility. Both the loading and the LVDT frames are mounted on a steel ring which in turn is bolted onto the testing tank. This ensures that the two frames do not move relative to each other, even when taken off the testing tank to prepare a new soil sample. The coordinates of both ends of all actuators and LVDTs as well as several distinct points on the frames and steel ring have been surveyed using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The measurements are reported in Table 1 and the coordinates in the rig coordinate system (Figure 3) are given in Table 2. The x-axis of the rig coordinate system runs parallel to actuators 1 and 2, whereas the y-axis is in line with actuator 3. z is positive downwards with the datum being the top of the steel ring. Note that the coordinate system and sign convention (Figure 3b) differs from the ISIS sign convention (Figure 4). All results reported here are defined using the ISIS sign convention. Soil characteristics The experiments were performed on dry yellow Leighton Buzzard sand. It has a specific gravity G s of 2.65 and minimum and maximum dry densities of kn/m 3 and 18 kn/m 3, respectively. Further soil characteristics are provided in Schnaid (1990). The sand was placed into the testing tank from a low drop height to achieve a very loose state; the average dry density of all tests performed being kn/m 3. The density for each test is included in Table 3, which also provides the testing programme. Results In this series of experiments, vertical load-penetration tests have been carried out as well as radial displacement tests. The majority of the testing programme, however, consisted of swipe tests either in one loading direction or a combination of two loading directions. In some swipe tests, the combined loading was simultaneous, for instance applying a moment and horizontal load at the same time. Several swipe tests of simultaneous in-plane moment and horizontal load (H 1 and M 1 or H 2 and M 2 according to Figure 3b) carried out at various ratios of H / M provide information on the eccentricity of the yield surface cross-section in the (H, M/2R) plane. In other tests, the footing was displaced in one direction before the displacement in that direction was halted as the footing was swiped in another direction. These tests, for instance applying H 1 first followed by H 2, may be used to show that the footing load path still traces the same yield surface, thus proving that the respective degrees-of-freedom are independent of 3

4 each other. In the yield surface equation this is reflected by the loading directions being uncoupled. A few elasticity tests have been attempted, too, but without feedback load control keeping the other degrees-of-freedom at their respective target value during the test, the results are ambiguous. The testing programme, documented in Table 3, has the following format: Test number Event Description V 0 w u 2 u 3 ω θ 2 θ 3 Density Time V load hold before swipe [N] [mm] [mm] [mm] [ ] [ ] [ ] [kn/m 3 ] [s] The files provided for each test include a test description (e.g. BBXX_description.xls) and the results file (e.g. BBXX_ResultsFile.dat). The format of the results file is time [s] in the first column, then loads in the order {V, H 2, H 3,, M 2, M 3 } in [N] and [Nm], respectively. This is followed by the displacements calculated from the LVDT readings {w, u 2, u 3, ω, θ 2, θ 3 } in [mm] and [rad], respectively. The loads and displacements refer to the ISIS sign convention shown in Figure 4. Time history plots are provided for all tests on a particular sample (e.g. BBXX.pdf, showing all events on sample XX). For each individual event, the horizontal, moment and torsional loads have also been plotted against the vertical load. The data files are denoted BBXX_EventY.pdf which contains the Y event on sample XX only. The corresponding data file is named BBXX_EventY.dat. The data in these files has the same order as in the results files. Conclusions Reported here is a comprehensive series of laboratory experiments on a rough circular flat footing on very loose sand subjected to loading in all six degrees-of-freedom. The tests were carried out to provide a database for validation of the theoretical extension of the ISIS plasticity footing macro model to cater for general loading in six-degrees-of-freedom.
