Summary

Introduction

Soils experience repetitive changes in pore water pressure during groundwater level oscillations associated with tidal and river level fluctuations, and engineered structures such as docks and managed reservoirs (O’Reilly and Brown 1991; Chu et al 2003; Orense et al 2004; Leroueil et al 2009; Page et al 2010; Nakata et al 2013; Shi et al 2016). Repetitive changes in water pressure imply effective stress cycles that can lead to the accumulation of plastic volumetric and shear strains. This study explores the volumetric and shear response of contractive and dilative sands subjected to repetitive changes in pore water pressure under constant deviatoric stress. The following section presents a detailed review of the state of the art and identifies salient gaps in knowledge
