摘要
Hardfill is a new type of artificially cemented material for dam construction works,with a wide application prospect.Its mechanical behavior lies between concrete and rockfill materials.A series of large-scale triaxial tests are performed on hardfill specimens at different ages,and the stress-strain behavior of hardfill is further discussed.The strength and stress-strain relationship of hardfill materials show both frictional mechanism and cohesive mechanism.An age-related constitutive model of hardfill is developed,which is a parallel model consisting of two components,rockfill component and cementation component.Moreover,a comparison is made between the simulated and the experimental results,which shows that the parallel model can reflect the mechanical characteristics of both rockfill-like nonlinearity and concrete-like age relativity.In addition,a simplified method for the determination of parameters is proposed.
