Long-Term Cyclic Triaxial Tests With Dem Simulations

PARTICLES 2017, V International Conference on Particle-based Methods – Fundamentals and Applications, 2017
The present paper presents the capability of Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate a long-term cyclic drained triaxial test (up to 100,000 cycles). The results regard the progressive accumulation of plastic strain as function of the number of particles and the initial particles rearrangement.

Experimental Study on Seismic Compression of Chinese Loess under Cyclic Direct Simple Shear Testing

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2022
Seismic compression is the accumulation of contractive volumetric strains in unsaturated soil from earthquake shaking. For Chinese loess, the behavior of seismic compression is extremely significant and has been recognized in historical earthquakes. As a

Predicting resilient modulus: A data driven approach integrating physical and numerical techniques

Heliyon
Resilient modulus (MR) is an important parameter in the design of pavement that helps to characterize the quality of sub-grade materials. Generally, it is not determined experimentally due to time consuming, uneconomical, laborious and lack of advanced ...

A Bayesian Framework for the Calibration of Cyclic Triaxial Tests

Geotechnics
This research presents the calibration of a constitutive model to replicate the cyclic performance of soils using a Bayesian framework. This study uses data from laboratory-conducted consolidated undrained isotropic cyclic triaxial tests and numerical tools to estimate optimal parameters by the application of Slice Sampling in a Bayesian analysis and ...

Comparison of Cyclic Triaxial Tests with Constant and Variable Cell Pressure

J
Cyclic triaxial tests are often used to evaluate the behavior of soils under seismic loads. The stress conditions imposed on a soil specimen during a cyclic triaxial test, however, are very different than those acting on an element of soil during an ...
