CYCLIC SIMPLE SHEAR TEST AND DEFORMATION OF SOILS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985
This report comments on the uniformity or nonuniformity of the states of stress and strain in a soil specimen tested in a simple shear test device. Subsequently, results derived from double simple shear tests are discussed and compared to those from large scale laboratory tests performed on a shaking table at the EERC at Richmond, California (de Alba et al 1975). A comparison was also made with hollow cylinder torsional shear tests performed by Ishihara and Yasuda (1975) as well as with similar tests by Ishibashi and Sherif (1974). Finally with respect to anisotropy in the state of stress for two soils, the stress strain characteristics in the case of cyclic loading are reported and discussed, based on results from tests performed with the double simple shear device developed at the Institute for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering of the Technical University at Darmstadt, FRG. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689. (TRRL)
