Abstract

In this study, the pore pressure buildup characteristics of fiber-reinforced calcareous sand were investigated by examining the influences of fiber contents and fiber length through a series of cyclic simple shear tests. The test results indicate that the generation mechanisms of pore pressure ratio and shear strain of fiber-reinforced calcareous sand are interrelated under cyclic loading. The fiber content and fiber length have a significant influence on the relationship of pore pressure ratio versus number of cycles. Nevertheless, the correlation of pore pressure ratio versus shear strain is independent of fiber content and fiber length. According to the unique relationship, a pore pressure development model based on shear strain was established, exhibiting excellent predictive accuracy in simulating the pore pressure generation of fiber-reinforced calcareous sand with various fiber content and fiber lengths under cyclic loading. Moreover, the proposed model is also applicable to clean calcareous sand and siliceous sand.
