Resumo |
The influence of compaction pressure, compaction water content and type of compaction (static or dynamic) on subsequent soil behaviour during wetting and isotropic loading has been investigated by conducting controlled-suction tests on samples of unsaturated compacted speswhite kaolin. The results are interpreted within the context of an elastoplastic framework for unsaturated soils, to examine which compaction-induced effects can be explained simply by variation in the initial state of the soil and which require that soils produced by different compaction procedures are modelled as fundamentally different materials. The compaction pressure influences initial state, by affecting the initial position of the yield surface, but it also influences, to a limited degree, the positions of the normal compression lines for different values of suction. The compaction water content influences the initial suction, but also has a significant influence (greater than does compaction pressure) on the positions of the normal compression lines. A change from static to dynamic compaction has no significant effect on subsequent behaviour |
