【 摘 要 】

References(24)As part of a long-term research program to evaluate the rate effects on the stress-strain behaviour of geomaterials, the viscous properties of a poorly-graded relatively angular quartz-rich sand, Toyoura sand, under air-dried conditions, were investigated by performing a comprehensive series of direct shear (DS) tests at a fixed normal stress equal to 50 kPa. The tests were performed on loose and dense specimens subjected to the following different loading histories: a) monotonic loading (ML) at constant shear displacement rate (s) differing by a factor up to 100,000; b) ML at constant s including otherwise a number of step changes in s by a factor of 100; and c) a number of sustained loading (SL) stages during otherwise ML at constant values of s differing by a factor up to 1,000. Tests a) revealed that, with dense specimens, the peak shear strength is remarkably independent of s while the residual shear strength noticeably decreases with an increase in s. That is, the viscous property is the so-called TESRA type at the peak stress state, while it is the so-called Positive & Negative (P&N) type at the residual state. With loose specimens, both peak and residual shear strengths decrease with an increase in s, indicating that the viscous property is already the P&N type at the peak stress state and definitely so at the residual state. These results are qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with those from tests b), by which the viscosity properties were quantified in terms of the rate-sensitivity coefficient. The results from tests c) showed that creep shear displacement, Δs, increases with a decrease in the tangent stiffness at the immediately preceding ML phase or with an increase in the shear stress level during the SL stage. The value of Δs for a given period steadily increases with an increase in s during the immediately preceding ML phase. These trends of viscous behaviour are simulated all very well by a non-linear three-component model incorporating a general expression of viscous stress.
