Experimental study on multiscale strain localisation based on soil cell element model
The granular and natural characteristics of soil introduce size effects to its deformation and strength properties. Therefore, investigating the phenomenon of strain localisation in soil requires a multi-scale characterisation. This study examined the intrinsic scale patterns in samples with different sizes of reinforcing particles through triaxial compression tests. Additionally, the formation mechanism of microscopic shear bands was investigated using numerical simulation methods. Drawing from the soil cell model theory, the average strain energy release coefficient was introduced to validate the transformation of the overall strain energy of the specimen after reaching the peak stress. This reflects the progressive initiation and competitive process of multiple bands. The results indicate that samples with different sizes and types of reinforcing particles exhibit various failure patterns, including single-type, ‘x’-shaped, ‘v’-shaped, parallel and others. The soil exhibits size effects, with the ratio of intrinsic scale to particle size decreasing as the size of reinforcing particles increases. Prior to the stress peak, non-elastic dissipation energy begins to increase, indicating the initiation of plastic deformation in the soil. Localised strain zones are activated, and after the peak, there is a sharp increase in stress within the shear bands, accompanied by rebound outside the band.
