Band Failure

A new type of plane strain apparatus is developed to study the mechanical properties and shear band failure of soil, which possesses the advantages of flexible loading for lateral confining pressure and noncontact measurement and high measurement accuracy for surface deformation. In addition, the whole deformation procedure of the specimen can be recorded with images, which can be used to describe the development of strain localization and the shear band. It can be seen that the deformation process has three obvious stages, that is, the hardening stage, the softening stage, and the residual stage. The measured inclination angles of shear bands decrease as confining pressure or the mean size increases. In addition, it can be observed that the sand presents continuing growth of the unrecoverable plastic deformation inside the shear band and exhibits almost elastic deformation outside. From the detection results for local points in the specimen, the stress–strain relationships are different for different parts, and the sand sample behaves like an uneven structure instead of an even element, which means that the usual method of measuring the stress–strain relationship of the soil sample is only a macroscopic approximation.

Strain Testing

Experimental investigation of the shear strength of dry sands was carried out using triaxial and plane-strain apparatus. The results were used to evaluate Rowe's stress–dilatancy theory, the relationships between the shear strength components due to friction and interlocking, and the volume-change characteristics for cases of plane-strain and axisymmetric boundary conditions. Because of the complexity of the plane-strain testing apparatus in the normal soil mechanics laboratory and the difficulties involved in performing this type of shear test, it is becoming costly to obtain plane-strain test results for consulting purposes. Based on Rowe's stress–dilatancy theory, the results of the present investigation, and the available test results in the literature, two simple methods are proposed to predict the angle of shearing resistance for plane-strain conditions from the results of the conventional triaxial compression tests.Key words: shear strength, plane-strain test, triaxial test, sand, experimental investigation, geotechnical engineering.
