Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering > Vol. 134 N°7 (Juillet 2008) . - pp. 992–1004 Titre : Characterization of cemented sand by experimental and numerical investigations Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Y. H. Wang, Auteur ; S. C. Leung, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 992–1004 Note générale : Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Discrete  elements  Stress  Bonding  Banding  Triaxial  tests  Dilatancy Résumé : In this study, the effects of cementation on the stress–dilatancy and strength of cemented sand are investigated through experimental characterizations using triaxial tests and numerical simulations using the discrete element method. At small strains, dilatancy is hindered by the intact bonding network that produces a web-patterned force chain. After yielding, the increase in the dilatancy accelerates. Two competing but intimately related processes determine the peak strength: Bond breakages cause a strength reduction but the associated dilatancy leads to a strength increase. This finding and the experimental observation that the dilatancy at the peak state increases with increasing cement content explain why the measured peak-state strength parameters, c′ and ϕ′p , are relevant to the cement content. With increasing strain, the force-chain distribution gradually changes to a thick columnar shape, which mostly appears inside the shear band. At the ultimate state, the cementing bonds remain to form clusters, even within the shear band. The existence of clusters not only helps maintain the overall volumetric dilation but also prevents force-chain buckling, which in turn increases the associated strength.
