This paper addresses how this mode of behaviour would affect their resistance to undrained cyclic loading, contrasting two triaxial studies, one on a tailings that has a conventional behaviour and one transitional. To demonstrate the influence of transitional behaviour it was necessary to create samples with as wide a range of initial specific volumes as possible, while trying keep the sample preparation methods the same for loose and dense samples. It was also necessary to examine the cyclic data in non-conventional ways, notably in the volumetric plane to highlight better the effects of initial sample specific volume. It is shown that, as previously determined for monotonic loading, the initial density has much less influence on the cyclic behaviour of a soil with transitional behaviour than it would for a conventional soil, and it is instead the stress history that is very much more important. Samples following their respective normal compression lines exhibit similar behaviour but overconsolidation significantly enhances resistance and a sample that arrives at a given state by the undrained reduction of p’ due to cycling also has a much higher resistance.","PeriodicalId":508398,"journal":{"name":"Géotechnique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139960048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hysteretic water retention curve (WRC), which governs these processes, for hydrophobised soils has rarely been reported. Existing apparatus was unable to measure the WRC of unsaturated soil as they cannot control the condition of pore water pressure (uw) in excess of pore air pressure (ua) when the contact angle is larger than 90°. This study created a new apparatus, which sandwiches a soil sample by a pair of high water-entry value (WEV) membrane and a high air-entry value (AEV) ceramic disk, to control the uw < ua and uw > ua conditions. Contact angle hysteresis and menisci evolution in the test materials during wet–dry cycles were measured to interpret the WRC. Results show that the WEV of soil was increased with decreasing chemical heterogeneity and particles size. When drying the hydrophobised soils, they could retain water before reaching a certain negative uw. The WEV identified from the second wetting cycle was lower than that from the first cycle, whereas the AEV remained largely unchanged. The WEV and AEV decreased when the particle size of the hydrophobised materials was increased, resulting in a smaller hysteresis size.","PeriodicalId":508398,"journal":{"name":"Géotechnique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139531744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
