Densification and Hysteresis of Sand Under Cyclic Shear

Publication: Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division
Volume 103, Issue 5

Abstract

When subjected to cyclic shear, sands exhibit dilatancy or densification and a highly nonlinear stress-strain relationship. The extent to which these phenomenons are manifested depends primarily on the relative density of the sand, the amplitude of the shear strain, and the state of stress.
