The Comparison of the Loess Mechanical Properties under Plane Strain and Conventional Triaxial Experiments

Article Preview

Abstract:

Plane strain problem is currently prevalent in the loess engineering. However, this problem still using conventional triaxial test method for processing. So the paper conducted the plain strain test, analyze differences in plane strain experiments with conventional triaxial experiments under different moisture content and confining pressure. Research shows two points, the first one is the impact on the strength of the soil is more under moisture content than confining pressure, the other is that the soil strength under the plane strain condition is significantly greater than conventional triaxial conditions. It shows that the results were conservative under the plane strain problem at past. It played a certain role in guiding the engineering.
