Long-Term Cyclic Triaxial Tests With Dem Simulations
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.

Dilatancy relation for overconsolidated clay [PDF]
A distinct feature of overconsolidated (OC) clays is that their dilatancy behavior is dependent on the degree of overconsolidation. Typically, a heavily OC clay shows volume expansion, whereas a lightly OC clay exhibits volume contraction when subjected ...

Evaluation and Comparison of two Frequently Used Cyclic Constitutive Models for Sandy Soils [PDF]
Selection of an appropriate soil constitutive model for advanced numerical analyses requires thorough understanding of behavior of constitutive models. Here, SANISAND and HS-SMALL models which are advanced widely available soil models for cyclic behavior

A Comparison between Simple Shear and Triaxial Tests for Evaluating the Variations of G and D with Matric Suction [PDF]
Shear modulus (G) and damping ratio (D) are both well known as principal soil dynamic parameters. In the present study, cyclic triaxial and simple shear tests are performed on Firuzkuh silica sand at various shear strain amplitudes using the developed ...

Sleeper end resistance of ballasted railway tracks [PDF]
This paper describes model tests used to investigate how ballast shoulder width and height contribute to a railway sleeper’s resistance to lateral movement for a range of shoulder widths and heights.

Behaviour of saturated sand under cyclic loading: Model approach with experimental validation [PDF]
This study presents a comparison between triaxial test results and constitutive model simulations for saturated sand subjected to a wide range of stress, relative density and both monotonic and cyclic loadings.

An appraisal of end conditions in advanced monotonic and cyclic triaxial testing on a range of geomaterials [PDF]
Compressing samples between rigid platens, as in triaxial testing, induce non-uniform specimen stress, strain and pore water distributions. Although well recognised historically, the effects of such platen restraints are often disregarded or overlooked ...

Removal of the membrane penetration error during evaluation of triaxial data
Most triaxial tests are fraught with substantial membrane penetration errors. A simple correction procedure for data obtained from various tests is proposed. In particular, a correction of the undrained cyclic stress paths is presented in detail.
