摘要
Seasonal freezing-thawing cycle is one of the most common physical weathering processes in cold regions, which can significantly affect the mechanical behaviors of soil. In this paper, a series of freezing-thawing (F-T) cycle and consolidated drained triaxial tests have been carried out on silty clay samples collected from Tibetan Plateau. To do so, a modified numerical model was developed taking into F-T effect. Test results showed that the stress-strain curves of original soil specimens presented strain hardening characteristics, accompanied with shear shrinkage. In F-T experienced specimens, volumetric strain in triaxial loading stage was gradually increased, while failure strength was decreased. Elliptic and parabolic functions were selected in numerical modelling to describe volume and shear yield surfaces on a p-q plane, respectively. Moreover, a double-yield surface constitutive model was developed to describe relationships among deviatoric stress, axial strain, and volumetric strain. Furthermore, equations for model parameters with the number of F-T cycles as variable were derived based on the triaxial test results which were then substituted into the established model to take into account the effects of F-T cycles. Finally, numerical results were validated with experimental findings.
