Cyclic triaxial tests with continuous measurement of dissipated energy

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1983
Abstract This article describes conventional cyclic triaxial tests on a uniform sand in which the amount of energy dissipated by the specimen was continuously monitored. Energy monitoring was achieved by means of a digital circuit that automatically integrated the force-displacement signals as the test progressed.

Dynamic properties of EPS-sand mixtures using cyclic triaxial and bender element tests

, 2019
In this study, a series of strain-controlled cyclic triaxial as well as bender element tests are carried out, so that the dynamic properties of mixtures of sand and expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads...

Cyclic loading triaxial testing of crushed rubble and lava

Bulletin of the International Association of Engineering Geology, 1984
This paper describes a laboratory investigation into the suitability of crushed rubble as a substitute for conventional road base materials. The rubble investigated was a mixture of crushed concrete and crushed bricks, whilst lava from the Eifel was chosen as a reference material.

The stable state in cyclic triaxial testing on sand

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 1994
Abstract The paper will describe a number of new characteristic phenomena of sand under cyclic loading, which have been discovered by triaxial cell testing, at the Soil Mechanics Laboratory at Aalborg University using test specimens with equal height and diameter.

Regression Models for Validating Cyclic Triaxial Test Results

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2011
Abstract Cyclic triaxial tests are commonly used to evaluate a soil’s potential for liquefaction during seismic events. Following testing, it is necessary to evaluate the validity of the test results. This can be a difficult task unless the engineer has previously acquired a reasonable amount of experience with this type of testing.

Cyclic Triaxial Strain-Controlled Testing of Liquefiable Sands

1988
Two series of undrained cyclic triaxial strain-controlled tests were performed on two different Imperial Valley, California, silty sands which liquefied during an earthquake in 1981. Both intact and reconstituted specimens were tested, and the testing procedures are described.

Cyclic and Postcyclic Triaxial Testing of Ballast and Subballast

Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2016
AbstractBallast and subballast are two layers of noncohesive, granular materials with different grain sizes filled in the track substructure to bear traffic loadings from train passages. The performance and sustainability of a track substructure depend on both of these two granular layers. This paper presents the experimental results of cyclic triaxial

The specific deviatoric energy to liquefaction in saturated cyclic triaxial tests

Proc. of the 7th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering, 2019
Within the European project LIQUEFACT, cyclic triaxial tests were carried out on an Italian sand, Pieve di Cento sand, taken from a field trial located in Emilia Romagna (Ita-ly), which was affected by liquefaction during the 2012 earthquake. The cyclic resistance curve of that sand was obtained in laboratory on reconstituted specimens with a low ...

Mechanical performance of recycled aggregates in cyclic triaxial testing

2017
In Belgium, more than 6,000 t of recycled concrete and masonry aggregates are produced every year, coming from civil engineering demolition works. They contain up to 50% of masonry. It is allowed to recycle them in road bases and subbases if they satisfy the requirements set in the standard specifications.
