Influence of the percentage of sand on the behavior of gap-graded cohesionless soils - 09/07/16
Abstract |
In this work, the effect of the fine content on the undrained mechanical behavior of a granular material is studied. Consolidated undrained triaxial tests were carried out on sand and gravel mixtures. The intact sample contains 30% of sand. In order to simulate suffusion in the sample, degradation consisted in reducing the fines amount to 20, 10 and 5%.
The undrained peak strength and the dilative phase amplitude decrease when the fine content decreases, with the highest values for the intact sample and the lowest values for the sample with 5% fines. On the other hand, the contractive phase progressively increases with the fine content. The degraded samples present a higher internal friction angles than the intact one.
