Cyclic triaxial tests on bituminous mixtures [PDF]
In the framework of a study on rutting of bituminous layers, thermo-controlled triaxial tests under constant confining pressure on homogeneous asphalt concrete specimen have been performed. These tests are cyclic sinusoidal tests, with the aim to reproduce in some way the loading and unloading phases due to traffic on roads.

Evaluation of local damping effect on static and dynamic behaviors of granular materials using DEM modeling [PDF]
Frictional sliding may not be sufficient for the stability of a system. In almost all models in the Discrete Element Method (DEM), a local non-viscous damping is used to balance the system by applying a damping force with a magnitude proportional to the ...

Experimental study on the cyclic resistance of a natural loess from Northern France [PDF]
In order to analyze the instability phenomenon observed along the Northern High Speed Line of R\'eseau Ferr\'e de France (RFF), soil blocks were taken at a site near the railway, at four different depths (1.2, 2.2, 3.5 and 4.9 m).

Influence of Load Frequency on Cohesive Soil Respond
The mechanism of cohesive soils response to cycling loading is less investigated compared to cohesionless soils. Multiple load-unload cycles cause significant changes in the structure of cohesive soils, which result in complex behaviour under the given ...

On-sample water content measurement for a complete local monitoring in triaxial testing of unsaturated soils [PDF]
To provide a complete local monitoring of the state of an unsaturated soil sample during triaxial testing, a local water content measurement device was adapted to a triaxial device comprising the measurement of local displacements (Hall effect ...
