Résumé : |
Ring shear tests were carried out on a compacted low-plasticity infilled-joint soil from Beihetan site in China. Different initial water contents (5·0, 9·0 and 13·5%) were considered. It was observed that the failure envelope is linear for the peak deviator stress but highly non-linear for the residual deviator stress in the range of high normal stresses (higher than 400 kPa), evidencing the particle crushing effect on the residual strength. Furthermore, this particle crushing effect was dependent on water content: the residual friction angle is larger at higher water content. Further grain size analysis was performed on the portion taken in the zone of shear band after each test, and changes of the fractions of 75 μm and 2 μm were compared for different water contents. The results indicate clearly that the effect of water content on particle crushing depends on particle size. For large particles (> 75 μm), water content increase enhances the particle crushing by the fracture mechanism. On the contrary, for smaller particles ( |
