The Influence of Strains in Soil Mechanics

Abstract: Synopsis The aims, during the past 20 years, of the Cambridge research programme in soil mechanics are outlined. The principal objective is to develop an understanding of the stress–strain behaviour of soils so that reliable predictions can be made concerning their load-deformation characteristics at all working loads, rather than only loads at failure, in practical problems. A superstructure and its foundation can then be designed as a unit. The pressing need for the study of the load-deformation behaviour o… Show more

“…Similar exercise was done for all other sands and it was observed that the thickness of shear bands is increasing with the particle size. Literature [41][42][43] suggests that the average thickness of the shear zone varies between 5 and 25 times the particle size. It has been also observed that the ratio between shear zone thickness and soil particle size depends on the scale of the test (ratio between sample size and particle size), with values considerably larger than 25 having been observed in large scale tests [44].…”

“…For granular material this can be achieved by taking rp = 1(/, but this is not observed in triaxial testing and neither in shear testing (Roscoe, 1970). Furthermore, the idea is to be rejected from a theoretical viewpoint.…”

“…Most geotechnical structures such as slopes, embankments, retaining walls, and strip foundations can be simplified into plane strain conditions, which are modelled in a plane strain biaxial apparatus [2], [5], [6], [25], [26], [30] and others or in true triaxial tests [18].…”

“…The stress, the strain, the stress and strain history and the stress level play important roles in the stressstrain behaviour of soil in shearing, especially in plane strain conditions ( [18], [23], [25], [31], [32]). …”
