Abstract

Influence of grading on the stress-strain and critical state behavior of granular materials is investigated by employing the three-dimensional discrete-element method (3D-DEM) through conventional drained triaxial tests in compression and extension. It is found that, under the same initial conditions (same e₀, p'₀), samples with a wider particle distribution exhibit more contractive. For each grading, a unique critical state line is achieved under different stress levels. The results from different gradings highlight that the critical state of the granular samples are significantly affected by the grading: the critical state line shifts down as the coefficient of uniformity (C_u) increases. A relationship between the location of CSL and the grading index C_u is then established. Micromechanical analyses are finally performed to confirm the macro finding of the grading dependency of mechanical behavior of granular materials.
