Abstract:
The effects of stress path and loading direction in the triaxial test on strength and dilatancy of sand are investigated. It is shown that the unique relationship observed between peak friction angle and dilation rate at peak in conventional triaxial tests is followed regardless of stress path, confining stress at failure, relative density, and the mode of loading (compression or extension). Key words : sand, peak friction angle, dilatancy, stress path, triaxial test.

AbstractThe use of stress path tests is discussed in relation to geotechnical design, and a description is given of the triaxial test stress path apparatus developed at The City University.Test results are presented from a series of triaxial tests following stress paths commonly encountered in engineering design problems. These are compared with the results of conventional triaxial tests.The stress-strain behaviour and pore pressure response of soil are shown to be very much dependent on the stress path followed, and the advantages of using stress-controlled loading in triaxial tests is demonstrated.

Abstract:
Deep underground engineering encounters substantial layered hard rock formations, and the engineering triaxial stress path involves an increase in maximum principal stress, constant intermediate principal stress, and a decrease in minimum principal stress. However, previous research has focused on rock layer angles under conventional triaxial stress conditions, disregarding the influence of foliation strike angles in engineering triaxial stress scenarios. This study experimentally investigates the effects of foliation strike angles on layered hard rock under an engineering triaxial stress path. To account for the brittleness of layered hard rock, we propose a specific small sample-processing method tailored to the foliation strike angle. True triaxial loading tests are conducted on steep, thin slate samples with two different loading orientations, accompanied by acoustic emission monitoring. Results indicate that the strength under a traditional true triaxial compression condition is similar for specimens with 90° and 0° strike angles. Stress–strain curves show that larger deformations occur perpendicular to bedding planes, while surface fractures propagate exclusively along the bedding planes. Mechanical responses differ significantly between specimens subjected to the engineering triaxial stress path at 0° and 90° strike angles compared to conventional true triaxial loading tests, with a lower bearing capacity and differentiated intermediate and minimum principal strains in the 0° case. Conversely, the 90° case exhibits a higher bearing capacity, consistent deformation, and more acoustic emission events. Numerical simulations comparing plastic zone sizes during actual underground excavation support these conclusions. These findings highlight the effects of foliation strike angles, favoring the 90° strike-angle configuration for excavation activities and providing enhanced stability in the surrounding rock mass.

Abstract:
Drained stress path triaxial tests and confined torsion tests were conducted on Colorado shale core samples to investigate transversely isotropic stiffness parameters at small strain deformation. Nonlinear plastic behaviour occurred along the primary loading path even at strains less than 0.01%. Nonlinear, hysteric behaviour was only observed during the loading–unloading path. However, the shale material displayed transverse isotropy in deformation, and very small or nondetectable Poisson's ratios in vertical and horizontal directions. This special response alludes to the postulate that the Colorado shale could be approximated by a transversely isotropic elasticity model at small strain levels with negligible yielding.Key words: anisotropy, elasticity, stiffness, triaxial test, torsion test, shale.

Abstract:
Due to the long-term deformation settlement of foundations, issues such as damage and functional failure of buildings and structures have long been a concern in the engineering field. The creep of soil is one of the primary causes leading to long-term deformation of foundations. In this paper, the consolidation deformation, creep characteristics, and creep model of reconstituted saturated silty clay were studied using the isotropic consolidation creep test and triaxial compression creep test. The results show that for the isotropic consolidation creep test, although the applied load adopted different stages of loading, as long as the final applied confining pressure was the same, the number of stages applied by the confining pressure had little effect on the final isotropic consolidation deformation of the sample and the triaxial undrained shear strength after creep. However, for the triaxial shear creep test, it was found that under the same final deviatoric stress, the final deviatoric strain of the sample was closely related to the number of loading stages of deviatoric stress. The test showed that the more loading stages with the same deviatoric stress, the smaller the final deviatoric strain, and the triaxial undrained shear strength of the sample after creep increased. In addition, it was reasonable to set the pore pressure dissipation of the sample at 95% ((u0 − u)/u0 = 95%) as the time (t100) at which the primary consolidation of the soil sample was completed. The isotropic consolidation creep curves and the triaxial compression creep curves showed certain non-linearity. Then, the logarithmic model and the hyperbolic model were used to fit the creep curves of the samples. It was found that the hyperbolic model had a better fitting effect than the logarithmic model, but for the triaxial compression creep test, the creep parameters of the sample changed greatly. Therefore, studying the creep characteristics of soil under different pre-loading steps is of significant engineering importance for evaluating the long-term deformation of underground structures.

Abstract:
Relative to the study of creep, the stress relaxation phenomenon has been overlooked in research on salt rocks, especially with respect to the behavior of salt in deep underground mining environments. In the laboratory tests described in this paper, deformational properties of potash were first studied by performing reverse-loading tests that approximately simulate in situ loading paths during excavation of underground cavities. Potash relaxation properties were then investigated by multiple-stage, repeated relaxation tests along the reverse-loading path. Results show that potash behavior along a reverse-loading path is highly stress rate dependent and is reflected in the dependence of the initial axial deformation modulus, ductile point, and post-yield behavior on the rate at which the deviatoric stress is applied to the specimen. The inserted relaxation phases did not significantly affect the subsequent behavior of the potash, and therefore inserted relaxation tests are useful for investigating time-dependent behavior at various stages of deformation. A linear relationship exists between normalized stress drop and logarithm of time, which might imply that potash has no creep limit. Finally, an attempt was made to extend a uniaxial strain hardening constitutive law postulated by another researcher to include confining pressure, and the experimental data were found to approximately fit the proposed constitutive model. Key words : potash, stress relaxation, triaxial tests, constitutive model.

Abstract:
Normal triaxial apparatus is suited to the loading stress path test, some stress path triaxial apparatus can be used to unload radial load smaller than the axial load, but it is difficult to unload axial load smaller than the radial load or even unload the axial load to zero. Using the iso-diameter headgear, different axial-radial unload ratio tests were done on the GDS triaxial apparatus, and the axial load was unloaded smaller than the radial load. During the test, it was found there are some deficiencies in the GDSLAB system. The results conformed to the characteristics of unloading test, which well verified the correctness of the test method and test results.

Abstract:
The latest research findings on stress rotations caused by moving wheel loads and their effects on permanent deformation or rut accumulation in pavement granular layers are presented. Realistic pavement stresses induced by moving wheel loads were examined in the unbound aggregate base and subbase layers, and the significant effects of rotation of principal stress axes were indicated for a proper characterization of the permanent deformation behavior. To account for the rutting performances of especially thick granular layers, a comprehensive set of repeated load triaxial tests was conducted in the laboratory. Triaxial test data were obtained and analyzed from testing aggregates under various realistic in situ stress paths caused by moving wheel loading. Permanent deformation characterization models were then developed on the basis of the experimental test data to include the static and dynamic stress states and the slope of stress path loading. The models that also considered the stress path slope variations predicted the stress path dependency of permanent deformation accumulation best. In addition, multiple stress path tests conducted to simulate the extension–compression–extension type of rotating stress states under a wheel pass gave much higher permanent strains than those of the compression-only single path tests. The findings indicated actual traffic loading simulated by the multiple path tests could cause greater permanent deformations or rutting damage, especially in the loose base or subbase, when compared with deformations measured from a dynamic plate loading or a constant confining pressure type laboratory test.
