Deformation And Strength Characteristics

A series of large scale consolidated drained shear triaxial tests were performed on reinforced and unreinforced sand-gravel specimens, the peak strength and residual strength characteristics of reinforced and unreinforced sand-gravel specimens were compared. The results show that: the peak strength, the residual strength and cohesion of reinforced sand-gravel are higher than unreinforced specimens, and is related to the characteristics of geotechnical grille used in this study. However, adding geotechnical grille has less effect on maximum volumetric strain and internal friction angle of sand-gravel.

A conventional triaxial compression test of Jurassic-Cretaceous typical weakly consolidated sandstone from a mining area in Ordos, China, was conducted using an MTS816 tester. Results showed that, before the peak, the rock had a distinct yield stage. When the specimen reached its peak strength, the strength decreased rapidly and showed an obvious brittle failure. When the confining pressure was increased to 15 MPa, the decrease of strength was slow and the rock tended toward ductile failure. With the increase of confining pressure, the cyclic strain initially increased slightly, whereas the volumetric strain increased greatly and the rock sample was in a compression state. When the load reached a critical value, the curve was reversely bent, resulting in volume expansion, whereas the peak strength, residual strength, and elastic modulus increased with confining pressure, and Poisson’s ratio decreased with the confining pressure. In the model based on macroscopic failure rock, the expression of the relationship between fracture angle and confining pressure provided a solid theoretical basis for the direction and failure mode of the macroscopic crack. Based on the rock strength theory and Weibull random distribution assumption of rock element strength, the damage variable correction coefficient was introduced when the residual strength was considered. Then, the mathematical expression of the 3D damage statistical constitutive model was established. Finally, the theoretical curve of the established constitutive model was compared with the triaxial test curve, which showed a high degree of coincidence.

Based on large-scale triaxial tests of sandy gravel materials, the strength and deformation characteristics under loading/unloading conditions are analyzed. At the same time, the applicability of the hyperbolic constitutive model to sandy gravel is studied using experimental data. The results indicate that sandy gravel under low confining pressures (0.2 and 0.4 MPa) shows a weak softening trend; the higher the confining pressure, the more obvious the hardening tendency (0.6 and 0.8 MPa) and the greater the peak strength. During unloading tests, strain softening occurs, and the peak strength increases with increasing confining pressure. During loading tests, dilatancy appears when the confining pressure is low (0.2 MPa). With increasing confining pressure (0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 MPa), the dilatancy trend gradually weakens, and the cumulative volume tric strain increases, which reflects the relevance of the stress paths. Through research, it is found that the hyperbolic constitutive model has good applicability to sandy gravel soils, and the corresponding model parameters are obtained.

Water Filling

To develop a new gangue polymer filling material with low compressive ratio, this paper intends to add high water cementing material to the gangue for backfilling. Uniaxial and tri-axial bearing experiments were conducted to study its bearing characteristics and residual strength. Based on Hock-Brown model theory, it is proposed that friction angle φr can be introduced to substitute model parameter mi, and the degree of cohesion loss can characterize the value of s. So the improved H-B model is established to characterize the residual strength of materials with ductile failure characteristics. The results show that the compressive strength of high water filling material increases linearly corresponding to the rise of confining pressure, and its strength characteristics conform to Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion. The ductile failure characteristics of the sample endow it with high residual strength, which in turn qualifies it for underground filling. After the introduction of cohesion and friction angle, the improved H-B criterion can fit the residual strength curve of the high water filling material more competently. The fitting coefficient of the samples with three water contents is 1.00, 0.99, and 1.00, respectively. The improved H-B model of residual strength demonstrates the change rule of residual strength of the samples corresponding to the change of confining pressure; under tri-axial loading, the angle between fracture surface and axial direction becomes larger as the confining pressure rises; and the failure mode of the material transforms from splitting failure to shear failure.

This paper mainly concerns the non-linear strength characteristics of the loess. A series of consolidated undrained triaxial tests(CU test) and consolidated drained triaxial tests (CD test) of normal consolidation and over consolidation loess specimens are carried out by using the normal triaxial apparatus of strain control. The stress-strain relationship curves and strength characteristics of loess are investigated and analyzed. The results show that the stress-strain relationship obtained by CU tests appears strain softening, while the stress-strain relationship for CD tests appears strain hardening. Different failure modes have different stress-strain relationships. Furthermore, the results also show that the peak strength, residual strength and residual strength ratio change with the different confining pressure. Based on the triaxial shear tests of normal consolidated loess, the influences of over-consolidated loess on the stress-strain relationships and strength characteristic are discussed. Several conclusions obtained in this paper can be referenced for the loess experimental study.

In order to study the relationship between the design parameters of the shield machine and the strength of rock, the behaviours of rocks under the conventional triaxial compression, the complete stress-strain curves under different confining pressures of three typical rocks, i.e. granite, limestone and red sandstone, were taken out for analysis. From the curves, the values of elastic modulus E and Poisson's ratio μ were gained and the relationships between the following parameters were figured out, which are peak strength versus confining pressure, residual strength versus confining pressure, strain at peak strength versus confining pressure, and strain at residual strength versus confining pressure. According to the values and relationships, the complete stress-strain curves were divided into three parts. For each part, a constitutive equation was established by using the strain softening trilinear elastic-brittle-plastic constitutive model, and all the related parameters in the constitutive equations were also presented, which provide a theoretical foundation for the digital design of the cutter head and cutters of Shield machine.

The study on hydromechanical coupling properties of rocks is of great importance for rock engineering. It is closely related to the stability analysis of structures in rocks under seepage condition. In this study, a series of conventional triaxial tests under drained condition and hydrostatic compression tests under drained or undrained condition on sandstones were conducted. Moreover, complex cyclic loading and unloading tests were also carried out. Based on the experimental results, the following conclusions were obtained. For conventional triaxial tests, the elastic modulus, peak strength, crack initiation stress, and expansion stress increase with increased confining pressure. Pore pressure weakened the effect of the confining pressure under drained condition, which led to a decline in rock mechanical properties. It appeared that cohesion was more sensitive to pore pressure than to the internal friction angle. For complex loading and unloading cyclic tests, in deviatoric stress loading and unloading cycles, elastic modulus increased obviously in first loading stage and increased slowly in next stages. In confining pressure loading and unloading cycles, the Biot coefficient decreased first and then increased, which indicates that damage has a great impact on the Biot coefficient.

A new prestressed reinforcement device (PRD) consisting of two lateral pressure plates (LPPs) and a reinforcement bar is developed to strengthen soil embankments by improving the soil confining pressure and providing lateral constraint on embankment slopes. The reinforcement effects of PRDs were demonstrated by investigating the beneficial effects of increasing confining pressure on the soil behavior via the performance of a series of large-scale static and cyclic triaxial tests on a coarse-grained embankment soil. The results show that PRDs can effectively improve the soil shear strength, bearing capacity, ability to resist elastic and plastic deformation, critical dynamic stress, and dynamic shear modulus, and empirical methods were also developed to determine the critical dynamic stress and initial dynamic shear modulus of the embankment soil. Moreover, 3D finite element analyses (FEAs) with an LPP width of 1.2 m were performed to analyze the additional stress field in a prestressed heavy-haul railway embankment. The FEAs showed that the additional stress at a given external distance from the border of an LPP first increased to a maximum value and then gradually decreased with increasing depth; the additional stress was transferred to the zones where the subgrade tends to have higher stresses with peak stress diffusion angles of 34° (slope direction) and 27° (longitudinal direction); and a continuous effective reinforcement zone with a minimum additional stress coefficient of approximately 0.2 was likely to form at the diffusion surface of the train loads, provided that the net spacing of the LPPs was 0.7 m. The reinforcement zone above the diffusion surface of the train loads can act as a protective layer for the zones that tend to have higher stresses. Finally, the advantages and application prospects of PRDs are discussed in detail. The newly developed PRDs may provide a cost-effective alternative for strengthening soil embankments.

Paleosol is an important factor affecting the stability of loess slope, and its mechanical properties, deformation and failure mechanism are still under in-depth exploration and research. Here based on the GDS Lab System, using equivalent sine wave progressively loading mode of strain controlling, in order to reveal the dynamic strength characteristics of Paleosol under the vibration effect. The result show that:① there is an obvious phenomenon of stress relaxation during the cyclic loading test on Paleosol; Paleosol is high-consolidated clay, when the given confining pressure less than the natural confining pressure, the degree of stress relaxation increased at first and then decreased,to the contrary first decreased and then increased.② under the 50kPa、80kPa、100kPa confining pressure, the dynamic failure stress of Paleosol is 0.176kN、0.2302kN、0.2555kN,the dynamic failure stress increases linearly with the increase of confining pressure. The correlation coefficient is 0.9009 and the linear regression equation is бd=0.001б3+0.0958.③ On the basis of Molar Coulomb failure criterion, We obtained the index of dynamic strength of Paleosol, which was C=25.63kPa and φ=14º, by Molar Circle. In comparison with the static strength, the internal friction angle and cohesion decreases significantly, show that the Paleosol have obvious characteristic of brittle.
