[pt] Na presente pesquisa, foi realizada a interpretação de comportamento da obra de reforço em um dique de contenção para resíduos de mineração construído sobre solos moles. Foram definidos o perfil geotécnico e as etapas de alteamento a serem analisadas pelo método de elementos finitos, no software Plaxis 2D. Para definição dos parâmetros, foram interpretados ensaios de campo e laboratório, sendo que nos ensaios de laboratório em que as curvas eram conhecidas, foi possível aplicar a otimização de parâmetros com a simulação de ensaios em uma extensão do Plaxis (Soil test). No caso dos solos silto arenosos e dos materiais de aterro, as interpretações foram feitas com o modelo Hardening Soil Model. Já para as camadas argilosas, foram simulados cinco diferentes cenários com os modelos: Soft Soil Creep, Hardening Soil e Mohr Coulomb com parâmetros de resistência efetivos e Hardening Soil e Mohr Coulomb com resistência não drenada. Os resultados de deslocamentos foram comparados entre si e com os dados do monitoramento de campo. Para análise da estabilidade os cinco cenários foram comparados entre si e com os resultados de uma análise convencional com equilíbrio limite em termos de tensões totais. Foi realizada também a aplicação do Método dos Volumes Deslocados como uma forma de verificar sua adequação para acompanhamento in situ da estabilidade da obra em cada etapa construtiva. / [en] In this present research, it was done an interpretation of the reinforcement work s behavior in a containment dike/dam for mining waste built on soft soils. It was defined the geotechnical profile and the heightening steps to be performed using the finite element method in the Plaxis 2D software. To define the parameters, the field and laboratory tests were interpreted, and in the laboratory tests in which the curvatures were known, it was possible to apply parameters with the simulation of tests in an extension of Plaxis (Soil test). In the case of sandy silt soils and embankments materials, as was done with the Hardening Soil Model. For the clay layers, five different scenarios were simulated with the models: Soft Soil, Hardening Soil and Mohr Coulomb with effective strength parameters and Hardening Soil and Mohr Coulomb with undrained strength parameters. The displacement results were compared with each other and with field monitoring data. For the stability analysis the five scenarios were analyzed among themselves and with the results of a conventional analysis with limit equilibrium in terms of total strength. Also the application of the Displaced Volumes Method as a way of verifying its suitability to in situ monitoring of the stability of the work at each constructive stage.

Embankment dams are widely used as water-retaining structures through the world. Two principal structural failure modes of embankment dams are internal erosion and slope instability. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of applying probabilistic methods in embankment dam assessment. Compared to deterministic methods, probabilistic methods considers the variability in material properties and the results are more assessable. Meanwhile, the derived sensitivity factors of the variables can be used to find the most influential one.Through a literature review, it is found that the difficulties in defining a limit state function for the full process of internal erosion for embankment dams hold back the application of reliability-based methods. However, reliability-based methods have been recognized as suitable for slope stability assessment.In this thesis, both deterministic and probabilistic calculations have been performed for a homogenous embankment dam. The deterministic calculation is carried out in Slope/W to first find out the most critical slip surface. The failure probability of this slip surface is estimated by both Monte Carlo simulations in Slope/W and FORM analysis in Comrel. Then, the 34 most critical slip surfaces from Slope/W are chosen to calculate the system reliability with simple bounds and applied integration. The results from the deterministic and probabilistic calculations showed that the studied dam has a higher risk of failure than allowed. In the system reliability calculation, simple bounds gives a wide range, especially the upper bounds. It was found that classification of different slip surfaces into different groups with respect to geometry and material was useful to simplify the calculations. Not much improvement in accuracy of the system probability of failure is found when increasing the numbers (from 1 to 5) of the most critical slip surfaces from each group. Even the combination of 1 slip surface from each group only gives an error of 6.5%. Categorizing slip surfaces before performing a system reliability analysis is a good way for simplification of the calculations. Due to this, the criteria used for categorization of the slip surfaces are of interest. In this work, it was found that the slip geometry in combination with the materials included in the slip surface constitute a possible way forward to do this. / Fyllningsdammar används ofta som dämmande konstruktioner runt om i världen. Två potentiella brottmoder för fyllningsdammar är inre erosion och släntinstabilitet.Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka möjligheten att tillämpa probabilistiska metoder vid utvärdering av fyllningsdammars säkerhet för dessa brottmoder. Jämfört med deterministiska metoder betraktar probabilistiska metoder även variationen i materialegenskaper. Erhållna känslighetsfaktorer för ingående variabler kan även användas för att hitta de som har störst inverkan på det studerade problemet.I litteraturstudien framkom att det är svårt att definiera en gränsfunktion som beskriver inre erosion för fyllnadsdammar, vilket begränsar dess användbarhet med probabilistiska metoder. För analys av släntstabilitet är dock probabilistiska metoder användbara. Både deterministiska och probabilistiska beräkningar av släntstabiliteten för en fyllnadsdamm har genomförts inom ramen för detta arbete. De deterministiska beräkningarna har utförts med programmet Slope/W, där den mest kritiska glidytan först har analyserats. Brottsannolikheten för dammen har beräknats med både Monte Carlo-simulering i Slope/W och FORM-analys i Comrel. En begränsning med att enbart beräkna brottsannolikheten för den mest kritiska glidytan är att brottsannolikheten kan underskattas då inverkan från andra potentiella glidytor inte beaktas. De potentiella glidytorna kan betraktas som ett seriesystem, där glidytorna är delvis korrelerade med varandra. För att studera denna fråga valdes de 34 mest kritiska glidytorna från Slope/W ut för att beräkna systemets tillförlitlighet. Resultaten från de deterministiska och probabilistiska beräkningarna visade att den studerade dammen hade en oacceptabel brottsannolikhet. I beräkningarna av gränserna för systemets brottsannolikhet visade resultaten att brottsannolikheten kan variera stort beroende på korrelationen mellan glidytorna. Genom att klassificera glidytorna i olika grupper med hänsyn till geometri och ingående material kan beräkningarna för systemets brottsannolikhet förenklas. Resultaten visade att noggrannheten i beräkningarna för brottsannolikheten av systemet inte förbättrades i någon större utsträckning när antalet valda glidytor (från 1 till 5) från varje grupp av likartade glidytor inkluderades i beräkningen. Kombinationen av 1 glidyta från varje grupp gav endast ett fel på 6,5% jämfört med om alla 34 glidytorna inkluderades. Kategorisering av glidytor av samma karaktär i olika grupper rekommenderas därför att genomföras innan systemets tillförlitlighet analyseras. I detta arbete framkom att glidytan geometri i kombination med ingående material i glidytan utgör ett lämpligt kriterium för att göra denna indelning.

The surface mine Hambach is located in the west of Germany, close to Cologne and was founded in 1978 from the electric company RWE to dig up brown coal and produce electricity. The mine measures a surface of 8.500ha and a depth of 470 m and was planned to be operated until 2045. After mining RWE plans to recultivate the area with forest, agriculture and a remaining lake of 3900ha. The mine is a site that is out of proportion. This proposal is a composition of interventions in different time and scale aiming to tell the story of soil, water, vegetation, animals and humans. The excavator is a scale figure to these dimensions and becomes the protagonist of the story. On it‘s way down to its final position at the bottom of the pit, it is sculpting the soil one last time. After that last operation nature will take over. Water will find its path and reshape the pattern of the excavator. With water, vegetation comes back and then gives space for animals to live and humans to watch the transition from a colourful desert to a flourishing oasis. This stream of interventions is connecting the pit‘s terraces to a spiral sculpture that over time will fill with water.

To investigate the passive force-displacement relationships provided by a transitional zoned backfill consisting of cement treated aggregate (CTA) and compacted gravel, a series of full-scale lateral abutment load tests were performed. The transitional zoned backfill was designed to minimize differential settlement adjacent to bridge abutments for the California High Speed Rail project. Tests were performed with a 2-D or plane strain backfill geometry to simulate a wide abutment. To investigate the effect of skew angle on the passive force, lateral abutment load tests were also performed with a simulated abutment with skew angles of 30º and 45º. The peak passive force developed was about 2.5 times higher than that predicted with the California HSR design method for granular backfill material with a comparable backwall height and width. The displacement required to develop the peak passive force decreased with skew angle and was somewhat less than for conventional granular backfills. Peak passive force developed with displacements of 3 to 1.8% of the wall height, H in comparison to 3 to 5% of H for conventional granular backfills.The skew angle had less effect on the peak passive force for the transitional backfill than for conventional granular backfills. For example, the passive force reduction factor, Rskew, was only 0.83 and 0.51 for the 30º and 45º skew abutments in comparison to 0.51 and 0.37 for conventional granular backfills. Field measurements suggest that the CTA backfill largely moves with the abutment and does not experience significant heave while shear failure and heaving largely occurs in the granular backfill behind the CTA backfill zone.

A major instrumented geosynthetic reinforced approach embankment was constructed to 5.5 m elevation above ground, with prefabricated vertical drains, over a soft compressible clay deposit at Leneghan, Newcastle, Australia in May 1995. The field monitoring of settlements for over six years shows that the embankment manifests significant creep. The instrumentation, field performance and the finite element analyses for predicting the long-term performance of this embankment are described in this thesis. The maximum settlement of 1.1 m was observed one year after the completion of construction. However, the embankment continued to settle at a rate of 0.4 mm/day for the next 5 years. The horizontal displacements of 0.09-0.14 m at various locations and the maximum reinforcement strains of 0.67% were recorded. A numerical model was developed to perform a fully coupled large deformation elasto-viscoplastic finite element analysis for this performance prediction based on creep model proposed by Kutter and Sathialingam (1992). The foundation soil was modelled with creep material behaviour using six noded linear strain triangular elements. A well-documented case history ??? Sackville embankment, New Brunswick, Canada was analysed using this model as a benchmark problem and the model was found to predict all the behaviour characteristics reasonably well. The results obtained from finite element analysis using this model are shown to be in reasonable agreement with the observed performance of Leneghans embankment in terms of settlements, horizontal displacements, excess pore pressures and geosynthetic strains. But, the prediction of settlements was less than satisfactory beyond April 1999. Finite element analyses were performed to study the sensitivity of this embankment behaviour on the variation of hydraulic conductivity values and geosynthetic reinforcement properties. This sensitivity study indicated that the kv variation, the kh/kv ratio and the nominal values of geosynthetic properties adopted in the benchmark analysis are reasonable enough for the long-term behaviour prediction.
