Study on Mechanical Properties of Gravelly Sand under Different Stress Paths by Dongjie Zhang, Fei Luo, Zhanyuan Zhu, Jiaming Liu, Jing Li, Bailin Li, Tianlang Xue

“…We can see from the test results that gravelly sand samples show strain hardening and shear contraction under the CTC (drained), TC, and RTC during the shearing process but exhibit strain softening under the CTC (undrained). To explore the microscopic deformation mechanism of gravelly sand, a characteristic angle θ was defined to reflect the relative movement of soil particles. …”
