Phase Transformation States of Loose and Dense Granular Materials under Proportional Strain Loading
Depending on the rate of external loading, the permeability, and the boundary conditions, different drainage conditions are expected during the loading of sands. These drainage conditions are thus neither fully drained nor fully undrained as usually assumed for saturated soils, which implies simultaneous changes in pore volume and in pore water pressure. For a given material, the transition between contractive behavior (increase of the pore water pressure) and dilative behavior (decrease of the pore water pressure) defines the phase transformation state. It is found that the position of this phase transformation state, which is known to be dependent on the relative density, depends on the rate of dilatancy () imposed on the sample. Constraining a loose sample to dilate leads to an unstable state earlier than observed during undrained tests. Even dense samples, which do not exhibit a nonlocalized unstable state during undrained tests, are prone to collapse if the rate to dilatancy is high enough.
