Experiments on a Calcareous Rockfill Using a Large Triaxial Cell
Publication: Soil Behavior and Geo-Micromechanics
Abstract
Granular materials with large particles have been widely used to construct embankments or rockfills dams. However, due to limitations in the size of experimental set-ups, their behavior remains relatively less investigated than the behavior of sands for instance. A new large triaxial apparatus, with a maximum specimen diameter of 1000mm, has been designed to study the behavior of such coarse granular materials. This device is described in this paper. The results of a triaxial test on calcareous particles with a maximum particle size of 160 mm are presented. Special attention has been paid on grain crushing under shear loading.
