Under traffic loading, the soil elements in subgrade are subjected to a complex 3D stress path. To investigate cyclic behavior of desert under initial shear conditions, number true triaxial tests were implemented on aeolian sand from Tengger Desert. A large range levels and different paths (various combinations major intermediate principal stresses) designed experiments. The results show that l...

A short-term flow, kind of softening of soil during cyclic loading, makes a perceivable impact on strain progression in saturated soil during cyclic loading. A short-term flow developed during cyclic mobility of soil can be seen from the stress-strain relationship observed during cyclic triaxial tests. After few cycles of loading soil starts to exhibit very low stiffness at the beginning of a l...

This article presents the results for cyclic uni/triaxial tests on deeply seated granite samples drilled from a −915 m deep tunnel in Sanshandao (SSD) gold mine. The monotonic and were carried out to observe mechanical responses of under different loading regimes. disparities concerning strain evolution compressive strength considering uniaxial triaxial are presented. Deformation behaviour, dis...

Abstract Stress controlled cyclic triaxial tests have been carried out on coastal sand of Digha, West Bengal, India at different frequencies, confining pressures, relative densities and number loading cycles for determination influence these parameters strength (expressed in terms stress ratio) initial liquefaction Digha sand. The test results provide evidence that increasing density increases ...

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is a relatively new construction material, whose applications can replace natural aggregates. To do so, extensive studies on its mechanical behavior and deformation characteristics are still necessary. RCA is currently used as a subbase material in the construction of roads, which are subject to high settlements due to traffic loading. The deformation character...
