Abstract
In this paper, the effects of compaction method on deformation and strength properties of asandy soil were examined by means of triaxial and unconfined compression tests and bender element test. AX-ray CT scan was also employed for providing us with image of structure of two sandy soils (n.b., sample Aand B). The undrained shear strength and dilatancy characteristics were seemingly affected by thecompaction method employed, and also the aspect depended on the soil type. The Ghh/Gvh -value of sample Awas larger than that of sample B. The result would mean that the Ghh/Gvh -value reflecting soil anisotropy isstrongly related to the shear strength and dilatancy characteristics. In addition, the variation of d and Dc ofthe statically compacted specimens is more significant than that of the dynamically compacted specimens.These variations in terms of d and Dc may also affect the deformation and strength characteristics.
