Structures made of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) may be subjected to dynamic loads during their service life. Understanding the dynamic material properties of RCC and the performance of RCC structures is essential for better analysis and design of RCC structures. As full-scale tests are often unaffordable, numerical simulation methods are continuously employed. However, in numerical simulations, determining a reasonable constitutive relationship for RCC materials is still limited due to the complexity of the composite and the special rolling and compacting construction technology. In this paper, the triaxial compressive test and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) experimental results for RCC are introduced as an experimental foundation. Parameter calibrations and modifications in terms of the strength yield surface, the strain rate effect and the failure criterion for the RCC materials are presented. Numerical verification is illustrated for simulating the SHPB experiment and predicting the dynamic compressive characteristics of RCC specimens with a modified HJC model. The results reveal that the simulation results for the modified model have better agreement with the test data than those with the model before modification and have better simulation results. Sensitivity studies of the key parameters on the yield surface of the modified HJC model are conducted to improve the simulation effect for numerically predicting the performance of RCC structures exposed to explosive and impact loads.

Geology uncertainties and real-time construction modification induce an increase of construction risk for large-scale slope in hydraulic engineering. However, the real-time evaluation of slope safety during construction is still an unsettled issue for mapping large-scale slope hazards. In this study, the real-time safety evaluation method is proposed coupling a construction progress with numerical analysis of slope safety. New revealed geological information, excavation progress adjustment, and the support structures modification are updating into the slope safety information model-by-model restructuring. A dynamic connection mapping method between the slope restructuring model and the computable numerical model is illustrated. The numerical model can be generated rapidly and automatically in database. A real-time slope safety evaluation system is developed and its establishing method, prominent features, and application results are briefly introduced in this paper. In our system, the interpretation of potential slope risk is conducted coupling dynamic numerical forecast and monitoring data feedback. The real case study results in a comprehensive real-time safety evaluation application for large slope that illustrates the change of environmental factor and construction state over time.
