HYPERBOLIC PARAMETERS FOR COMPACTED SOILS

The results of a study of the hyperbolic parameters of 3 compacted soils are described. The intent of the study was to develop soil stress-strain parameters for general classes of compacted soils for design involving finite element analysis of soil-structure interation problems. The soils included a well-graded sand, a sandy silt, and a lean clay. The soils were compacted to several differnt densities ranging from the dumped condition to 95% standard proctor density. The moisture content during compaction was the standard proctor optimum moisture content and the samples were maintained at the water content throughout the testing.
