“…It can be seen from Eq. (15) that the model gives pure elastic sand response at the onset of loading direction reversal as K p1 is infinite ðρ=ρ ¼ ∞Þ, which is supported by experimental observations (Kiyota et al 2008;Chiaro et al 2009). Whenρ ¼ ρ (corresponding to the virgin loading case),…”

“…Experimental observations show that there is appreciable plastic strain accumulation in sand during cyclic shear (Oda et al 2001;Kiyota et al 2008;Chiaro et al 2009); hence, the authors employ a cone-shaped bounding surfacef 1 to describe sand behavior under such loading conditions (Fig. 1).…”

“…Since it remains difficult to measure the fabric of sand using conventional laboratory tests and other in situ test techniques, F 0 ¼ 0.5 is simply assumed for Toyoura sand prepared by dry deposition in several layers (Yoshimine et al 1998) and air pluviation (Kiyota et al 2008;Chiaro et al 2009) in this study . Different F 0 is used for Toyoura sand prepared by other methods (see the text below).…”

An anisotropic plasticity model is proposed to describe the fabric effect on sand behavior under both monotonic and cyclic loading conditions within the framework of anisotropic critical state theory. The model employs a cone-shaped bounding surface in the deviatoric stress space and a yield cap perpendicular to the mean stress axis to describe sand behavior in constant mean stress shear and constant stress ratio compression, respectively. The model considers a fabric tensor characterizing the internal structure of sand associated with the void space system and its evolution with plastic deformation. The fabric evolution law is assumed to render the fabric tensor to become codirectional with the loading direction tensor and to reach a constant magnitude of unit at the critical state. In constant stress ratio compression, the final degree of anisotropy is proportional to a normalized stress ratio. An anisotropic variable defined by a joint invariant of the fabric tensor and loading direction tensor is employed to describe the fabric effect on sand behavior in constant mean stress monotonic and cyclic shear. A systematic calibrating procedure of the model parameters is presented. Satisfactory comparison is found between the model simulations and test results on Toyoura sand in both monotonic and cyclic loadings with a single set of parameters. The important role of fabric and fabric evolution in capturing the sand behavior is highlighted. Limitations and potential improvement of the model in describing cyclic mobility of very dense sand and sand behavior in nonproportional loading have been discussed.

“…In addition, Kokusho (2000) reported that signiˆcant deformation could be associated not only with the driving force due to the gravity but also a formation of a water lm in the liqueˆed layer. In order to investigate the above large strain liquefaction properties, we modiˆed a torsional shear apparatus and performed a series of undrained cyclic torsional shear tests up to a double amplitude shear strain of about 100z (Kiyota et al, 2008). We found that there is a limiting value of double amplitude shear strain, g L(DA) , to initiate strain localization.…”
