Abstract
A gradation-dependent hypoplastic model is developed to capture the mechanical behaviours of crushable sands. First, a gradation evolution law is proposed to describe the variation of the grain size distribution (GSD) and the development of the extent of crushing during the loading process. Second, the family of CSLs under different gradations is formulated. Combining the developed CSL function and GSD evolution leads to well-modelling the unique critical state features of crushable sands. Subsequently, critical state features are incorporated into a well-established hypoplastic framework, such that the gradation-dependent hypoplastic model for crushable sands is developed. The accuracy and efficiency of the developed hypoplastic model in capturing the mechanical behaviours of crushable sands are validated against experimental counterparts.
期刊介绍:
Acta Geotechnica is an international journal devoted to the publication and dissemination of basic and applied research in geoengineering – an interdisciplinary field dealing with geomaterials such as soils and rocks. Coverage emphasizes the interplay between geomechanical models and their engineering applications. The journal presents original research papers on fundamental concepts in geomechanics and their novel applications in geoengineering based on experimental, analytical and/or numerical approaches. The main purpose of the journal is to foster understanding of the fundamental mechanisms behind the phenomena and processes in geomaterials, from kilometer-scale problems as they occur in geoscience, and down to the nano-scale, with their potential impact on geoengineering. The journal strives to report and archive progress in the field in a timely manner, presenting research papers, review articles, short notes and letters to the editors.
