Process Simulation and Formation Mechanism of Shear Band in Soil

Abstract:

Shape multiformity and formation mechanism of shear band in normal consolidated soil were analyzed based on Modified Cam-Clay model under plane strain condition. The results proved that shear band forms because of impact action caused by strain energy releasing. End restraint and initial defect can induce and control the formation process and shape of shear band. The interaction of different boundary and initial defect settings was analyzed in order to obtain the mechanism and deformation process of shear band.
