A Study of the Rockfill Material Behavior in Large-Scale Tests
Inspecting the behavior of the rockfill materials is of significant importance in analysis of rockfill dams. Since the dimensions of grains in such materials are greater than the conventional sizes suitable for soil mechanics tests, it is necessary to experimentally study them in specific large-scale apparatuses. In this research, the behavior of rockfill materials in two large rockfill dams co...
متن کاملStrength and Deformation Characteristics of Granular Materials under Extremely Low to High Confining Pressures in Triaxial Compression
— The shearing strength and volumetric relationship of granular materials change notably with a variation of confining pressure. In this study the effect confining pressure on the mechanical behavior of granular materials were observed using discrete element method (DEM). The triaxial tests were conducted on seven specimens covering a range from extremely low to high confining pressures. Each i...

متن کاملShear modulus and material damping of municipal solid waste based on large-scale cyclic triaxial testing
Representative dynamic properties of municipal solid waste (MSW) are required to perform reliable seismic analyses of MSW landfills. A comprehensive large-scale cyclic triaxial laboratory testing program was performed on MSW retrieved from a landfill in the San Francisco Bay area to evaluate the small-strain shear modulus, and strain-dependent normalized shear modulus reduction and material dam...
متن کاملEffects of Ballast Degradation on Shear Strength Behavior from Large-scale Triaxial Tests
Ballast, typically comprising large sized aggregate particles with uniform gradation, is an essential layer in the railroad track substructure. Functions of ballast include facilitating load distribution and drainage, maintaining track geometry and track stability, and providing track resilience and noise absorption. Throughout its service life, ballast goes through changes in gradation and par...
