摘要
Simulations of the undrained triaxial behaviour of sand using 3D DEM are described. Three types of undrained behaviour: flow, limited flow and non-flow were observed in DEM simulations, as is commonly observed in most laboratory studies. Three consolidation paths: isotropic, anisotropic K = sigma(3)'/sigma(1)' = 0.50 and K-0 were assigned to observed their effect on undrained behaviour. The stress ratio, K = sigma(3)'/sigma(1)' during K-0 consolidation varied significantly with applied sigma(1)' which is not in line with the widely used Jaky equation. However, consolidation paths did not show a significant effect on undrained stress-strain and steady state behaviour. A unique steady state line was achieved irrespective of the consolidation history prior to undrained shearing.
