The part of sand behavior that is affected by time, such as creep, relaxation, and loading rate
effects are not similar to those observed for clay. To throw more light on the time effects in …

Based on previously obtained experimental results, a mechanistic picture of time effects in
granular materials is presented. Accordingly, time effects are caused by grain crushing …

The viscous properties, or loading-rate effects on the stress-strain behaviour, of unbound
and bound soils, in particular unbound granular materials, are summarised. The viscous …

Triaxial compression tests were performed on dense specimens of Virginia Beach sand at
low and high confining pressures to study time effects that relate to grain crushing due to …

A series of compression tests were carried out on two types of calcareous sand to study the
time-dependent behavior of calcareous sand under oedometric conditions. Consolidation …

Effects of strain rate on the stress–strain and subsequent stress relaxation behaviors have
been studied by performing triaxial compression tests on dense Virginia Beach sand …

An elastoplastic constitutive model that takes into account the stress–strain relationship and
creep-induced hardening behavior of rockfill materials is proposed in light of previous …

With the aim to achieve a better understanding of the time-dependent behaviour of clays,
particularly stiff natural clays, a critical review of literature and a program of laboratory testing …

The inelastic strain characteristics of geomaterial are analysed in the framework of a
nonlinear three-component model while based on a number of laboratory stress-strain test …

The creep failure behaviour of three reconstituted sands exhibiting various viscous property
types was evaluated by large-, medium-and small-scale drained triaxial, and medium-scale …
