The paper presents the results of experimental studies on the strength and deformations of lightweight concrete, mortar matrix and hardened cement paste under triaxial compression. Tests on samples were carried out using short-term triaxial proportional σ1 > σ2 = σ3 loading (i.e. axial compression + lateral hydrostatic pressure). During the loading, the ratio of the main stresses (both axial and lateral) was kept constant up to the end of tests. The experimental studies were carried out for different low ratios of σ2/σ1. A theoretical estimation has been discussed to approximate experimental results and prediction of triaxial strength values for different types of lightweight concrete. An estimation of the confining pressure parameter K has been done for the used mode of loading.

Conventional triaxial compression tests of coal specimens are carried out by MTS815 servo-controlled rock mechanical test system, and the strength and deformation characteristics of coal under different confining pressure are analyzed. On that basis, bolt supporting mechanism of surrounding rocks of roadways driving along next goaf is studied.

An unconsolidated undrained (UU) test is one type of triaxial compression tests based on the nature of loading and drainage conditions. In order to imitate the UU triaxial compression tests, a UU triaxial emulator with a graphical user interface (GUI) was developed. It has 5 deformation sensors (4 radial deformations and one vertical deformation) and one axial pressure sensor. In addition, other inputs of the emulator are the cell pressure, the height of sample, and the diameter of sample, which are provided by the user. The emulator also facilitates the analysis and storage of measurement data. Deformation data fed to the emulator were obtained from real measurements [H. Nawir, Viscous effects on yielding characteristics of sand in triaxial compression, Dissertation, Civil Eng. Dept., The University of Tokyo, 2002]. Using the measurement data, the stress vs radial strain, stress vs vertical strain, and Mohr-Coulomb circle curves were obtained and displayed by the emulator.

Conventional methods of characterizing the mechanical properties of soil and geogrid separately are not suited to multi-axial stabilizing geogrid that depends critically on the interaction between soil particles and geogrid. This has been overcome by testing the soil and geogrid product together as one composite material in large specimen triaxial compression tests and fitting a nonlinear failure envelope to the peak failure states. As such, the performance of stabilizing, multi-axial geogrid can be characterized in a measurable way. The failure envelope was adopted in a linear elastic – perfectly plastic constitutive model and implemented into finite element analysis, incorporating a linear variation of enhanced strength with distance from the geogrid plane. This was shown to produce reasonably accurate simulations of triaxial compression tests of both stabilized and nonstabilized specimens at all the confining stresses tested with one set of input parameters for the failure envelope and its variation with distance from the geogrid plane.

Clays exhibit creep in compression and shear. In one-dimensional compression, creep is commonly known as “secondary compression” even though it is also a significant component of deformations resulting from shear straining. It reflects viscous behaviour in clays and therefore depends on load duration, stress level, the ratio of shear stress to compression stress, strain rate, and temperature. Research described in the paper partitions strains into elastic (recoverable) and plastic (nonrecoverable) components. The plastic component includes viscous strains defined by a creep rate coefficient ψ that varies with plasticity index and temperature (T), but not with stress level or overconsolidation ratio (OCR). Earlier elastic–viscoplastic (EVP) models have been modified so that ψ = ψ(T) in a new elastic–thermoviscoplastic (ETVP) model. The paper provides a sensitivity analysis of simulated results from undrained (CIŪ) triaxial compression tests for normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays. Axial strain rates range from 0.15%/day to 15%/day, and temperatures from 28 to 100 °C.
