Abstract: In this study, cyclic triaxial tests were performed on Zipingpu gravel, and they were followed by a discrete element study that was designed to investigate the stress-dilatancy relationship of gravelly soils under cyclic ...

Abstract: One of the most important features of soil behavior is the dependence of stress path. A series of large-scale triaxial compression tests was conducted to investigate the effect of stress path on critical state and particle ...

Abstract: The collapse settlement induced by wetting deformation during the impounding period has a significant impact on the safety of rockfill dams. Previous large-scale triaxial wetting investigations on rockfill have predominantly ...
