Unified modeling behavior of rockfill materials along different loading stress paths
Rockfill materials used for dam construction show obvious stress path dependency during construction process. The constitutive model for rockfill materials are mainly established based on conventional triaxial test.

Particle breakage characteristics of rockfills under complex stress paths
A series of conventional triaxial tests, isotropic compression tests and complex stress path triaxial tests are conducted to investigate the particle breakage characteristics of rockfills, which are evaluated quantitatively by using the relative breakage

Equivalent density determination method for dam rockfill materials in mechanical tests
Given the size limitation of laboratory test equipment, it is necessary to scale the rockfill in laboratory tests. The mechanical properties of rockfill have scale effect obviously, and how to obtain the mechanical properties of rockfill accurately ...

Suction effects on rockfill compressibility [PDF]
A conceptual mechanism of rockfill deformation was postulated by Oldecop & Alonso (2001) on the basis of the observed rockfill behaviour in suction-controlled oedometer tests.
