Study on Binary-Medium Model of Fissured Loess

Abstract:

On the basis of the theoretical framework of breakage mechanics for geo-material ,the fissured loess can be regarded as a composite material consisting of bonded blocks and weakened bands，therefore a fissured loess binary-medium model is formulated. Then the model will be applied to the study of fissured loess. By the numerical calculation, the relationship of stress-strain can be obtained. A comparative analysis between calculation and triaxial test has been done. The results show that there is a good adaptability to apply the binary medium model to fissured loess.
