STRESS-STRAIN-STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF MACROPOROUS LOESS IN BELGRADE. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985
Extensive investigations of the slope loess of Belgrade have been performed in the Laboratory for Soil Mechanics, Department of Geotechnics, at the Belgrade Faculty of Mining and Geology. The results obtained show that the mechanical behaviour of macroporous loess depends to a large extent on the value of the consolidation pressure. Such behaviour is described with two hyperbolic models: one is over a range of "low" and the other of "high" stresses. The limiting stress, obtained from laboratory triaxial tests, is 85 kpa. The comparison of numerical and experimental results has shown that the proposed finite element procedure, based on the incremental Hooke's law and the developed constitutive model, can accurately represent the behaviour of loess soil under complex stress-strain conditions. The finite element analyses were performed on the DEC 20 computer at the Computer Centre of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Belgrade. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689.
