Effects of Ice Content on Mechanical Behavior of Frozen Loess under Uniaxial Compression

Article Preview

Abstract:

The uniaxial compressive tests on frozen loess with different ice content under loading rate of 1.25mm/min at-6°C are carried out to investigate the effects of ice content on the mechanical behavior of ice. The influence of ice content on stress-strain, elastic modulus, strength and failure strain of frozen loess are analyzed based on the experimental data. The results show that strength and failure strain increase with increasing of ice content. The elastic modulus first increase and then decrease with increasing of ice content.
