The stress-strain behavior of in-situ soil at a depth of 5 m was investigated by conducting undrained triaxial compression tests using the remolded soil samples. The test results show that the stress-strain relationship of unsaturated cohesive soil is still hyperbolic. The values of parameters a and b given in the model decrease with increasing the confining pressure for soil samples with the same moisture content and increase with increasing the moisture content for soil samples under the same confining pressure. The relationships between parameters a, b and moisture content were studied for confining pressures of 100, 150, 200 and 250 kPa. The comparison between the measured and predicted stress-strain curves for an additional group of soil samples, having a moisture content of 25.4%, shows that the proposed moisture content-dependent hyperbolic model provides a good prediction of stress-strain behavior of unsaturated cohesive soil.展开更多

First of all, basic laws of the deformation of joints under normal monotonous load are discussed, based on which three basic conditions which the complete constitutive equation for rock joints under normal load should meet are put forward. The analysis of the modified normal con- stitutive model on stress-deformation curve shows that the general exponential model and the improved hyperbolic model are not complete in math theory. Flexibility-deformation monotone decreasing curve lying between flexibility-deformation curve of the classical exponential model and the BB model is chosen, which meets basic conditions of normal deformation mentioned before, then a new normal deformation constitutive model of rock joints containing three parameters is established. Two main forms of flexibility-deformation curve are analyzed and specific math formulas of the two forms are deduced. Then the range of the parameters in the g-δ model and the g-2 model and the correlative influence factor in geology are preliminarily discussed. Referring to different experiment data, the validating analysis of the g-δ model and the g-γ model shows that the g-2 model can be applied to both the mated joints and unmated joints. Besides, experiment data can be better fit with the g-2 model with respect to the BB model, the classical exponential model and the logarithm model.展开更多
