摘要
The accumulation of volumetric strain in saturated sandy soil with a drained or partially drained state during earthquakes and waves can significantly distress the surface, seabed and nearby structures. A quantitative correlation exists between the tendency of the volumetric strain in drained and the generation of the excess pore water pressure in undrained saturated sand. The effects of the initial relative densities (Dr), cyclic stress paths and stress levels (CSR) on the tendency of the volumetric strain for saturated coral sand are studied by a series of undrained cyclic shear tests under isotropic consolidation conditions. The results show that a positive correlation exists between the residual volumetric strain (εvd,ir) with the minor-to-major ratio and the inclinations of the elliptical stress path shape under the same Dr and CSR. The generation of εvd,ir with the cyclic number (N) of saturated coral sand under various Dr, cyclic stress paths and CSR obeys the relationship of arc-tangent function. Dr, cyclic stress path and CSR have significant effects on the ultimate volumetric strain ((εvd,ir)u) and the convergence speed of εvd,ir versus N. By introducing a unit cyclic stress ratio (USR), a positive linear correlation exists between (εvd,ir)u and USR under the same Dr. The convergence parameter CN1 of εvd,ir versus N has a positive linear relationship with USR, and CN2 has a negative power function relationship with USR. The convergence rate of εvd,ir versus N slows down with the increase of USR. Another significant finding is that (εvd,ir)u decreases with the increase of Dr, and the convergence speed of εvd,ir versus N becomes faster with the increase of Dr. The proposed volumetric strain formulation provides new insights into the mechanics of residual volumetric strain generation under drained cyclic loading conditions. © 2023 Chinese Society of Civil Engineering.
