Abstract

Tests on air dried Hostun and Toyoura sands and on two moist mixtures of mainly Hostun sand with Kaolin clay were performed with a precision hollow cylinder device “T4C StaDy”. Viscous properties are investigated through creep tests with and without rotation of stress principle axes (i.e. during triaxial compression - TC - and torsional shear - TS - tests) from small strain domain (some 10-5 m/m) up to large strain (some 10-2 m/m). A simplified version of the viscous evanescent model (VE), developed specifically at DGCB/ENTPE to model the peculiar viscous behaviour of sand, can be considered for creep tests. Good correlations are obtained between simulated and experimental creep strains for all the materials tested. A simple relation is confirmed for the viscous parameter of the VE model for sands (considering tests with and without rotation of stress principle axes) as well as for sand/clay mixtures (considering tests without rotation of stress principle axes).
