Cyclic Plane Strain Compression Tests on Dense Granular Materials

  • Conference paper
Soil Stress-Strain Behavior: Measurement, Modeling and Analysis

Abstract

A series of cyclic plane strain compression tests are performed under drained condition on dense Toyoura sand and compacted Chiba gravel, by using small-scale and large-scale apparatuses, respectively. Comparisons are made with results from monotonic loading tests. Local strain distributions are calculated by conducting image analyses of digital photographs taken at different stages of loading during each test. Based on these results, strain localization properties of dense granular materials are discussed, in particular focusing on possible effects of cyclic loading history.
