Plastic deformation behaviour of pavement granular materials under low traffic loading
This paper analyses the permanent deformation performance of an unbound granular material for base layers of low traffic roads. The material has been subjected to repeated triaxial loads. Three models were fitted to express the cumulative permanent strain as a function of the number of load cycles. In general, the predictions of two models previously studied by other researchers proved to be go...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of granular materials behaviour for unbound base layers used in Algerian pavement structures
Structural analysis of flexible pavements has been and still is currently performed using a multi-layer elastic theory. However, for thinly surfaced pavements subjected to light to medium volumes of traffic, the importance of non-linear stress-strain behaviour of unbound granular materials (UGM’s) requires the use of more sophisticated numerical models for structural design and analysis of such...
متن کاملBehavior of flowing granular materials under variable g.
We consider the impact of the effective gravitational acceleration g{eff} on gravity-driven granular shear flow utilizing a tumbler of radius R rotating at angular velocity omega when g{eff} is varied up to 25 times the gravitational level on Earth in a large centrifuge. The Froude number Fr=omega{2}R/g{eff} is shown to be the proper scaling to characterize the effect of gravity on the angle of...
متن کاملModular ratios for unbound granular pavement layers
Unbound granular pavement layers show a characteristic increase in moduli from the subgrade to the surface. The ratio of moduli between successive layers provides a direct and effective measure of pavement quality that makes due allowance for site conditions and seasonal effects beyond a contractor’s control. The modular ratio is therefore an effective indicator for performance-based specificat...
متن کاملRatcheting of granular materials.
We investigate the quasistatic mechanical response of soils under cyclic loading using a discrete model of randomly generated convex polygons. This response exhibits a sequence of regimes, each one characterized by a linear accumulation of plastic deformation with the number of cycles. At the grain level, a quasiperiodic ratchetlike behavior is observed at the contacts, which excludes the exist...
