Experimental Analysis on Shear Behavior of Sand-Concrete Interface

Abstract:

In order to study the shear behavior of sand-concrete structure interface, shear stress and relative displacement curves were obtained through a series of direct shear tests, in the procedure of which the roughness of interfaces was quantified into 3 grades and the stress history can be achieved by loading the sand to an initial normal stress and then unloading to a normal stress to shear. Through analyzing the curves, several conclusions can be obtained as follows: Shear stress increases with the initial normal stress and roughness at the same tangential displacement. The initial shear modulus can be improved in case of the increase of initial normal stress and roughness. The friction coefficient can be obtained by fitting the curve of the maximum shear stress and normal stress corresponded to Mohr-Coulomb Criterion linearly. The friction coefficient of sand-concrete interface increases with roughness as well as its increase range.
