Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of consolidated-undrained direct-simple shear tests are presented on seven normally consolidated clays of widely varying composition and plasticity. The effect of overconsolidation ratio is studied with six of these clays. The tests were performed with the Geonor device, which uses a 8.0 cm dia. sample enclosed in a wire-reinforced rubber membrane. The vertical load is varied to maintain constant volume during undrained shear. Consolidated undrained direct-simple shear tests are easier to perform than K sub o - consolidated triaxial tests with pore pressure measurements. The test also yields data during consolidation similar to that obtained from conventional oedometer tests. (Modified author abstract).

Download or read book Effect of Volume Change in Undrained Direct Simple Shear Tests written by Helene Alexandra Amundsen and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to perform constant-volume (equivalent to undrained) Direct Simple Shear (DSS) tests using either a wire-reinforced membrane or stacked rings as the zero lateral strain confinement system, the height (and thereby volume) of the test specimen must be maintained at a constant during shear. The change in vertical stress while maintaining constant specimen height during shear is equivalent to the excess pore pressure that would have developed in a truly undrained DSS test. Depending on the control capabilities of active height-control DSS devices and the stiffness of locked (passive) height-control DSS devices, the specimen height may not be perfectly constant throughout shear in some cases. This technical note presents the results of monotonic constant-volume DSS tests where the specimen height was intentionally varied during shear to demonstrate the effect on measured shear stress and vertical effective stress. Changing the test specimen height by 0.05 % (the maximum specified by ASTM D6528, Standard Test Method for Consolidated Undrained Direct Simple Shear Testing of Fine Grain Soils) affected the test results. The percentage deviations in the measured test results are greater for stiffer soil specimens, about 2 % for soft normally consolidated clay and more than 20 % for dense sand at failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several series of consolidated undrained direct translatory shear (DTS) and direct simple shear (DSS) tests have been performed on two sensitive clays of eastern Canada. Before shearing, the specimens were consolidated to pressures varying between 20 and 350 kPa. The investigation was performed with the aim of determining both the anisotropic nature and the effect of the consolidation pressure level on the response of the tested clays. To study the anisotropic nature of the sensitive clays, the specimens were cut at various inclination angles with respect to the in-situ horizontal plane, consolidated to predetermined normal stress levels, thus altering the fabric, and then sheared under undrained conditions. The range of the normal stress levels used was such as to be able to investigate the response of the soil from very high overconsolidation ratios to normally consolidated or destructured states. The results show that for consolidation pressures less than the preconsolidation pressures of the inclined specimens, the undrained shear strengths are anisotropic. In this case, the specimens that are sheared along the horizontal in-situ direction show the lowest strength, while those that are sheared along the vertical in-situ direction have the highest strength. However, for the specimens that are consolidated under pressures in excess of the preconsolidation pressures, the undrained shear strengths are found to be independent of shearing direction.

Download or read book Deformation and Progressive Failure in Geomechanics written by A. Asaoka and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-10-23 with total page 956 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progressive failure has been a classical problem in the field of geotechnical engineering and has attracted considerable attention in connection with slope stability and foundation problems. It is associated with strain localization or shear banding and is also related to damage in material structures. As knowledge of the progressive failure mechanism increases, it is now necessary to establish effective communications between researchers and engineers. The International Symposium on Deformation and Progressive Failure in Geomechanics provided an opportunity for discussing recent advances in this area. A total of 136 papers were contributed from 22 countries. As well as these, the symposium proceedings also contain 8 interim technical reports on the subject by the members of the Asian Technical Committee of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering and the Japanese Geotechnical Society National Committee on Progressive Failure in Geo-structures.
