Triaxial Tests on Dry-wet Cycle and Creep Behavior of High-fill Coarse-grained Soil

After the Baihetan Dam reservoir area is impounded, the high fill site will experience the rise and fall of water level for a long time, which is very disadvantageous to the deformation and stability of the site. This paper focuses on the stability of high-fill sites. It is part of the Baihetan Dam...

description After the Baihetan Dam reservoir area is impounded, the high fill site will experience the rise and fall of water level for a long time, which is very disadvantageous to the deformation and stability of the site. This paper focuses on the stability of high-fill sites. It is part of the Baihetan Dam project in the water-level-fluctuating zone of the resettlement area in the reservoir area. The research examines the effects of wet-dry cycles and saturation on coarse-grained soil. Methods include large-scale triaxial shear and creep tests. The investigation assesses stress-strain relationships and shear morphology. It also evaluates the long-term strength and deformation laws. Key conclusions are presented as follows: ① The strength of coarse-grained soil gradually decreases with an increase in the number of dry-wet cycles. ② When the number of dry-wet cycles <italic>n</italic>≤3, coarse-grained soil samples first shrink and then dilate; when <italic>n</italic> &gt;3, coarse-grained soil only undergoes shear deformation. ③ The peak deviating stress of coarse-grained soil decreases gradually with the increase in the number of dry-wet cycles, and the higher the confining pressure, the greater the effect of dry-wet cycles on the damage and deterioration of the shear strength of coarse-grained soil. ④ The long-term strength of coarse-grained soil is lower than that of shear failure strength. The drop range of low confining pressure is smaller, generally reaching 80% or even higher of shear failure strength under normal circumstances; under high confining pressure, the long-term strength damage of coarse-grained soil is greater because of particle breakage.
