Microstructural Investigation of Granular Soil Upon Drained Cyclic Loading

Edward Carlo Giorgio Andò
2025

Abstract

This study investigates the microstructural response of a sand subjected to drained cyclic triaxial loading. Triaxial tests are performed within an x-ray tomograph to obtain grain scale measurements such as grain kinematics and grain contact orientations. Results are presented, indicating that the cycles causes changes in the contact network which may explain observed macro scale behaviour.
