Shear Strength Behavior and Finite Element Modelling of Soil Mixtures Under Low Confining Pressure

Information technology term also means that solving problems by using computers, software, middleware, storage, or sensor systems. The development of the computer technology presents to estimate soil behavior in geotechnical engineering problems. In addition, geotechnical engineers want to define soil behavior parameters easily by using software. In this study, results of direct shear tests are modelled by using Abaqus software. Mohr - Coulomb material model was used to define failure condition of soils. Necessary material properties, such as shear modulus and dilation angle were computed from the test results. Failure stresses of laboratory test and model are matched with each other. Stress and strain variation of the soil specimen was investigated and presented at the end of the study.
