Abstract
In order to study the physical characteristics of soil-stone mixture materials, a physical testing of 50 groups of soil-stone mixture samples is carried out, which have different water contents, proportions of the mixture, dry density and grain sizes of stone. Two models of the soil-stone mixture embankment with length of 35 m and width of 5 m were constructed. Based on wave theoretical analysis, the relationships between water content, dry density, grain sizes of stone and shear wave velocity are proposed. The theoretical calculated results of compact degree were consistent with the testing results of the filling-sand method.
