Abstract

Granular soils creep and age. Previous findings on the time-dependent phenomena under deviatoric stress are summarized and extended with the results of an experimental investigation. Multi-stage triaxial compression tests with creep phases at different deviatoric loading on medium-dense and dense samples of a uniformly graded silica sand confirm an increase in stiffness after creep phases. Contact maturing, contact homogenization, and stabilization of the soil structure are known causes for ageing reported in the literature. As other results found in the literature, the volumetric creep behavior can be dilatant, contractant or of negligible strain close to zero and depends on the trend of the volumetric strain resulting from deviatoric loading at the beginning of creep. By the triaxial tests it is shown that dilatant creep results in an increase of the radial strain due to grain rearrangements. The axial strain rates during creep and changes of the small-strain shear modulus (ageing) follow a power law with time. According to the experiments, the exponent of the proposed power law describing the development of strain and shear modulus at small strain during creep is independent of the density and stress state. The small-strain shear stiffness and the associated soil structure at the onset of creep determine the subsequent ageing behavior. A linear dependency was found between the related ageing rates and axial strain rates during creep, which can be used to predict ageing of granular materials in combination with rate-dependent constitutive models.

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.
