Stress-Strain Behavior of Granular Soils Subjected to Internal Erosion
Internal erosion is a major cause of dam or dike failures and incidents. In this study, laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the deformation of two gap-graded soils during internal erosion and the stress-strain behavior of the soils that experienced loss of fine particles due to internal erosion. An erosion-controlled experimental method was adopted to achieve a designated loss of fine particles during internal erosion by adding a predefined amount of salt into the soil sample during sample preparation and dissolving the salt in water under a controlled stress condition. Both the radial and axial deformations during erosion were measured using a photographic method. Subsequently, drained triaxial compression tests were performed to study the stress-strain behavior of the soils that had lost different amounts of fine particles. The peak friction angle and critical friction angle of the soil decreased with the loss of fine particles. After a significant loss of fine particles, the stress-strain behavior changed from the initially dilative behavior to a more contractive behavior.
