The Mechanical Properties of Soils with Uneven Grain-Size Distribution

Article Preview

Abstract:

This issue deals with peculiarities of stress-strain state forming in a representative volume of inhomogeneous soil. Analytic solutions for describing such stress states and obtaining equivalent mechanical values for such massive are given. Basing on the performed triaxial laboratory tests the impact of diameter ratio, percentage, and contact between particles on mechanical properties of a mixture is estimated. As a conclusion some recommendations on using the research results in practical geotechnical engineering are given. The classification of inhomogeneous soils, based on granulometric data, allowing to estimate mechanical properties is presented, as a method of granulometric composition, humidity and density selection for artificial foundations.
