undrained triaxial shear behavior of grouted carbonate sands

a comparison between the undrained shear behavior of carbonate and quartz sands

compared to quartz sand, the shear behavior of carbonate sand differs in  appearance, origin, and kind. carbonate sand is found mainly in the northern coast of the persian gulf and the oman sea. in this research, a comparison is made between the shear behavior of carbonate sand retrieved from the eastern region of the chabahar port, located north of the oman sea, and quartz sand obtained from f...

Evaluation of undrained response from drained triaxial shear tests: DEM simulations and Experiments

evaluation of undrained shear strength of loose silty sands using cpt results

series of undrained monotonic triaxial tests and cone penetration tests were conducted on loose silty sand samples to study correlation between undrained shear strength of silty sands (sus) and piezocone test results. cpt tests were conducted at 27 silty sand samples in calibration chamber. the results indicate that, in low percent of silt (0-30%), as the silt content increases, the undrained s...

Theoretical Undrained Shear Behaviour of Unsaturated Soils

Prediction method for undrained shear behaviour of unsaturated soils is discussed in this paper. Based on Original Cam Clay model, authors have proposed constitutive model for unsaturated soils that the effect of water content is incorporated into superloading surface concept. Firstly, stress path of constant volume shear test is formulated under constant void ratio condition. And relationship ...

Shear Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Clayey Sands

Consolidated-drained triaxial compression tests were conducted to compare the stress-strain and volume change response of sands and clayey sands reinforced with discrete randomly distributed poly-propylene fibers. The influence of various test parameters such as fiber content (0.0%, 0.5% and 1.0% by weight), clay content (0%, 10% and 20% by weight), relative density (50% and 90%) and confining ...

Simulation of Stress-Strain Behavior of Saturated Sand in Undrained Triaxial Tests Based on Genetic Adaptive Neural Networks

This study applies artificial neural networks (ANN) to simulate the soil stress-strain relationship observed in test data from triaxial shear testing of saturated sand. A genetic algorithm is used to obtain an optimal framework for the ANN. The results show that the proposed genetic adaptive neural network (GANN) can effectively model undrained monotonic and cyclic triaxial behaviour of saturat...
