Influence of Relative Density on Dilatancy of Clayey Sand–Fouled Aggregates in Large-Scale Triaxial Tests
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering
Volume 142, Issue 10
Abstract
This paper presents an experimental investigation of the relative density on dilative behaviors of clayey sand–fouled aggregates. The large-scale monotonic triaxial tests (TX) were conducted on mixtures in saturated conditions. Values of friction angles were compared with the dilatancy angles to stress the effect of the relative density on shear behaviors. A correlation among the relative density, peak friction angle, the friction angle at the end of the test, and peak stress based on triaxial tests was established. The parameters of the correlation were determined. The findings are expected to improve the understanding of the dilative behavior changes in character as the relative density changes
