Abstract
Modelling the mechanical behaviour of partially saturated soils requires special treatment due to interactions among solid, water and air phases. The issue extends also to frozen soils in which ice forms cohesive bridges between soil particles. This study develops a micromechanically based failure criterion for shear strength of partially saturated frozen soil that relates the macroscopic strength of frozen soils to their particle-scale characteristics. Assuming idealized spherical particles, the strength of individual ice bonds is calculated from their geometry and the intrinsic strength of ice. Following a homogeneous stress assumption, a relation between the macroscopic stresses and the interparticle forces is formulated, which eventually leads to a failure criterion at the macroscopic level in terms of parameters such as ice strength, matric suction, void ratio, average particle size, and contact fabric. Other dependencies of the ice strength on parameters such as temperature and strain rate are also naturally captured. The predictions are compared to three different experimental datasets where the model demonstrates good accuracy without any retrospective calibration. Crucially, the failure model establishes a connection between strength of soil at frozen and unfrozen states, which can be used in estimating the strength degradation in frozen soils upon thawing.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
