文章摘要
第62届朗金讲座 (Rankine Lecture)如期于2024年3月13日在伦敦帝国理工学院举行,Lidija Zdravković教授作了题为《Geotechnical Engineering for a Sustainable Society》的演讲,讲座背景参看下面的链接,在此不作赘述。讲座时长大约2小时,本公众 号已经录制了这个讲座。
岩土工程数据---超越传统方法和设计
(1) 气候变化引起的天气模式条件下支持老化基础设施可持续寿命延长的研究;
(2) 在可再生能源开发中影响海上风力涡轮机基础设计的研究;
(3) 地下热扰动和化学扰动对岩土工程基础设施的环境影响。
1.2 讲座内容
在简要概述了研究框架之后,主要围绕数值模拟软件(ICFEP)讨论了5个方面的应用:
(1) 海上风能结构桩基础的设计方法
(2) 桩基础与堤坝随时间和气候的变化,主要是蠕变性能
(3) 降雨对边坡稳定性的影响
(4) 核废料处理的模拟方法(THM多相耦合)
(5) 数据驱动的设计方法---贝叶斯推理
朗金讲座(Rankine Lecture)是岩土工程领域最早设立的著名邀请讲座,由英国岩土工程协会[British Geotechnical Association (BGA)]举办。该讲座为了纪念格拉斯哥大学(Glasgow University)土木工程教授WJM Rankine对土力学和岩土工程作出的重大贡献---特别是挡土墙的土压力理论。朗金讲座设立于1961年,比太沙基讲座【太沙基讲座(Terzaghi Lecture, 1963-2024)】的设立早两年。迄今为止共有14位同时赢得了这两个讲座,他们是:
(1) Ralph B. Peck, NAE (1912-2008)
(2) Arthur Casagrande, NAE (1902-1981)
(3) Lauritis Bjerrum (1918-1973)
(4) H. Bolton Seed, NAE (1922-1989)
(5) T. William Lambe, NAE (1920-2017)
(6) Nathan M. Newmark, NAE (1910-1981)
(7) Ronald F. Scott, NAE (1929-2005)
(8) James K. Mitchell, NAE, NAS (1930-2023)
(9) Norbert R. Morgenstern, NAE
(10) Evert Hoek, NAE
(11) Suzanne Lacasse, NAE
(12) Harry Poulos, NAE
(13) R. Kerry Rowe, NAE
(14) Thomas D. O'Rourke, NAE
自从1961年讲座设立以来,至今年为止,总共经历了64年,2020年和2021年由于新冠疫情没有举行朗金讲座,因此2024年是朗金讲座62周年。
