Triaxial Testing of Frozen Sand
Abstract Triaxial testing of frozen saturated Ottawa sand under confined compression was carried out under hydrostatic pressures varying between 0.1 and 75 MPa at a temperature of -10°C and strain-rate 7.7×10 -5 s -1 . Yield and failure stresses increased with increasing hydrostatic pressures up to...

| Summary: | Abstract Triaxial testing of frozen saturated Ottawa sand under confined compression was carried out under hydrostatic pressures varying between 0.1 and 75 MPa at a temperature of -10°C and strain-rate 7.7×10 -5 s -1 . Yield and failure stresses increased with increasing hydrostatic pressures up to about 40 MPa, beyond which the stresses dropped. The results are analysed according to the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and compared with past results in the literature. |
