Current soil classification systems recognize the central role of particle size and inherent differences between coarse- and fine-grained fractions. However, they adopt fixed classification boundaries irrespective of a broad range of fines plasticity and particle shape, disregard the distinct fines thresholds for mechanical and hydraulic properties, and overlook pore-fluid chemistry effects on fines behavior. The Revised Soil Classification System (RSCS) addresses these limitations and benefits from published data and physical insights gained during the last century. By comparison, the classification boundaries in the prevailing Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) resemble those in the RSCS only for the case of angular sands and gravels mixed with low-plasticity fines; in all other cases, extensive data sets corroborate the transition thresholds adopted in the RSCS. The complete logic tree for the RSCS facilitates its implementation; it is available as user-friendly Excel macro and a mobile application that automatically produce the soil-specific classification charts and show the soil classification in terms of the controlling fraction for both mechanical and hydraulic properties. Multiple studies have demonstrated the predictive power of the RSCS in terms of soil properties (e.g., compressibility, strength, hydraulic conductivity, and capillarity), soil phenomena (e.g., fines migration and bioactivity), and the preliminary selection of geotechnical solutions (e.g., soil improvement).","PeriodicalId":54819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering","volume":"195 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carlos Santamarina","doi":"10.1061/jggefk.gteng-11153","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1061/jggefk.gteng-11153","url":null,"abstract":": This study examines the load-deformation response of sands subjected to high-and low-stress cycles, i.e., both ends of the Wöhler ’ s fatigue curve. At high peak cyclic stress σ f , the terminal void ratio decreases with σ f due to crushing-dependent densification, and it can be smaller than e min when the peak stress approaches the yield stress σ f → σ y . When σ f ≪ σ y , the soil retains memory of the initial fabric even after a very large number of cycles, and the terminal void ratio correlates with the initial void ratio e o . Data show that the maximum change in relative density leads to simple strategies to estimate the maximum settlement for first-order engineering analyses. In agreement with Wöhler ’ s fatigue, tipping points in void ratio and stiffness trends occur at a small number of high-stress cycles or after a large number of small-stress cycles. During repetitive loading, sands stiffen with the number of cycles to reflect increased interparticle coordination following crushing, as well as contact flattening due to asperity breakage and fretting. The strong correlation between the resilient modulus M r and the maximum shear modulus G max suggests the possible application of geophysical methods based on shear wave propagation to monitor geosystems subjected to repetitive loading cycles.
