4、nd effective stress.1.3 These test methods are applicable to both fine-grainedand coarse-grained soils as defined by the unified soil classi-fication system or by Classification D 2487. Test specimensmay be undisturbed or reconstituted by compaction in thelaboratory.1.4 Two test methods are provided

5、 for using a cyclic loaderto determine Youngs modulus (E) and damping (D) properties.The first test method (A) permits the determination of E and Dusing a constant load apparatus. The second test method (B)permits the determination of E and D using a constant strokeapparatus. The test methods are as

6、 follows:1.4.1 Test Method AThis test method requires the appli-cation of a constant cyclic load to the test specimen. It is usedfor determining the Youngs modulus and damping under aconstant load condition.1.4.2 Test Method BThis test method requires the appli-cation of a constant cyclic deformatio

7、n to the test specimen. Itis used for determining the Youngs modulus and dampingunder a constant stroke condition.1.5 The development of relationships to aid in interpretingand evaluating test results are left to the engineer or officerequesting the test.1.6 LimitationsThere are certain limitations

8、inherent inusing cyclic triaxial tests to simulate the stress and strainconditions of a soil element in the field during an earthquake.1.6.1 Nonuniform stress conditions within the test specimenare imposed by the specimen end platens.1.6.2 A 90 change in the direction of the major principalstress oc

10、 of confining stress application and the pore-waterpressures generated during testing. For an isotropically con-fined specimen tested in cyclic compression, the maximumcyclic axial stress that can be applied to the specimen is equalto the effective confining pressure. Since cohesionless soils arenot

11、 capable of taking tension, cyclic axial stresses greater thanthis value tend to lift the top platen from the soil specimen.Also, as the pore-water pressure increases during tests per-formed on isotropically confined specimens, the effectiveconfining pressure is reduced, contributing to the tendency

12、 ofthe specimen to neck during the extension portion of the loadcycle, invalidating test results beyond that point.1.6.4 While it is advised that the best possible undisturbedspecimens be obtained for cyclic testing, it is sometimesnecessary to reconstitute soil specimens. It has been shown thatdiff

13、erent methods of reconstituting specimens to the samedensity may result in significantly different cyclic behavior.Also, undisturbed specimens will almost always be strongerthan reconstituted specimens of the same density.1.6.5 The interaction between the specimen, membrane, andconfining fluid has a

14、n influence on cyclic behavior. Membranecompliance effects cannot be readily accounted for in the testprocedure or in interpretation of test results. Changes inpore-water pressure can cause changes in membrane penetra-tion in specimens of cohesionless soils. These changes cansignificantly influence

15、the test results.1.6.6 Despite these limitations, with due consideration forthe factors affecting test results, carefully conducted cyclictriaxial tests can provide data on the cyclic behavior of soilswith a degree of accuracy adequate for meaningful evaluationsof modulus and damping below a shearin

Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D 3740provides a mea

33、ns of evaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 GeneralIn many ways, triaxial equipment suitable forcyclic triaxial modulus and damping tests is similar to equip-ment used for the consolidated-undrained triaxial compressiontest (see Test Method D 4767). However, there are specialfeatures desc

34、ribed in the following sections that are required toperform acceptable cyclic triaxial tests. A schematic represen-tation of the various components comprising a typical triaxialmodulus and damping test setup is shown in Fig. 2.6.2 Triaxial Pressure CellThe primary considerations inselecting the cell

35、 are tolerances for the piston, top platen, andlow friction piston seal, Fig. 3.6.2.1 Two linear ball bushings or similar bearings should beused to guide the load rod to minimize friction and to maintainalignment.6.2.2 The load rod diameter should be large enough tominimize lateral bending. A minimu

The seal must exert negligiblefriction on the l

37、oad rod. The maximum acceptable pistonfriction tolerable without applying load corrections is com-monly considered to be 62 % of the maximum single ampli-tude cyclic load applied in the test, refer to Fig. 4. The use ofFIG. 2 Schematic Representation of Load or Stroke-Controlled Cyclic Triaxial Test

38、 SetupFIG. 3 Typical Cyclic Triaxial Pressure CellD 3999 91 (2003)3a seal described in 9.1 and described by Ladd and Dutko4, andChan5will meet these requirements.6.2.4 Top and bottom platen alignment is critical to avoidincreasing a nonuniform state of stress in the specimen.Internal tie-rod triaxia

39、l cells have worked well at a number oflaboratories. These cells allow the placement of the cell wallafter the specimen is in place between the loading platens.Acceptable limits on platen eccentricity and parallelism areshown in Fig. 5.6.2.5 Since axial loading in cyclic triaxial tests is in exten-s

40、ion as well as in compression, the load rod shall be rigidlyconnected to the top platen by a method such as one of thoseshown in Fig. 6.6.2.6 There shall be provision for specimen drainage at boththe top and bottom platens.6.3 Cyclic Loading Equipment:6.3.1 Cyclic loading equipment used for load con

41、trolledcyclic triaxial tests must be capable of applying a uniformsinusoidal load at a frequency within the range of 0.1 to 2 Hz.The loading device must be able to maintain uniform cyclicloadings to at least 0.5 % double amplitude stress, refer to Fig.4. Unsymmetrical compression-extension load peak

42、s, nonuni-formity of pulse duration, “ringing”, or load fall-off at largestrains must not exceed tolerances illustrated in Fig. 7. Theequipment must also be able to apply the cyclic load about aninitial static load on the loading rod.6.3.2 Cyclic loading equipment used for deformation-controlled cyc

43、lic triaxial tests must be capable of applying auniform sinusoidal deformation at a frequency range of 0.1 to2 Hz. The equipment must also be able to apply the cyclicdeformation about either an initial datum point or follow thespecimen as it deforms. The type of apparatus typicallyemployed can range

44、 from a simple cam to a closed loopelectro-hydraulic system.6.4 Recording Equipment:6.4.1 Load, displacement, and pore water pressure transduc-ers are required to monitor specimen behavior during cyclicloading; provisions for monitoring the chamber pressure duringcyclic loading are optional.6.4.2 Lo

45、ad MeasurementGenerally, the load cell capacityshould be no greater than five times the total maximum loadapplied to the test specimen to ensure that the necessarymeasurement accuracy is achieved. The minimum performancecharacteristics of the load cell are presented in Table 1.6.4.3 Axial Deformatio
