Numerical simulation can be employed to replace some tests, and the time and workload spent in Therefore, if essential parameters can be obtained by trixial tests, then the Numerical simulation has advantages of high efficiency and repeatability, and it can avoid those Sample, instrument and operation will also cause the dispersion of test results. Spend more time to do parallel tests to reduce the errors. However, due to some unavoidable chances, researchers must

Many other useful properties about the soil, such as the stress-strain curve, strength, elastic Triaxial test is one of the main way to determine the strength of soil, furthermore, we can get KEYWORD: FLAC3D software silty clay triaxial test numerical simulation The new understanding obtained here will provide some reference to numerical The paper is also a micro-level validation for the rock-soil massĪnalysis. Tests and regarded as a supplement to the laboratory tests, which can reduce the workload and It can be concluded that the numerical simulation can be employed to replace some Numerical results are in good agreement with those of tests, and there is a good coherence in the Method based on FLAC3D was proposed for the simulation of triaxial tests of silty clay.Ĭomparison of experimental and numerical results indicate that the stress-strain curve has a goodĬonsistency in the ascent stage, and the relative error of ultimate strength is less than 5%. Triaxial tests conducted on silty clay with high precision was established. A kind of hexahedron grid model suitable for the simulation of Different models were built by combining some basic grids, such asĬubes, pyramids, and so on. In this paper, consolidated-undrained triaxial tests of silty clay under normal temperature were However, the numerical simulationĬan reduce the unfavorable effects mentioned above and verify each other with the triaxial tests. The results of triaxial tests are always susceptible to instruments and operations, and it willĪlso take considerable time and money to conduct the tests.
