SSNA116 - Triaxial compression test with the model of Hoek-
Brown modified into axisymmetric



Summary

This test makes it possible to validate the elastoplastic law of behavior of Hoek-Brown modified in mechanics of
rocks. It is about a triaxial compression test for which calculations are carried out only on the solid part of the ground in
pure mechanics.
Two levels of containment are applied: 5 MPa and 12 MPa. Parameters
end
,
rup
and
LMBO
are taken
equal (what returns to a constant voluminal plastic deformation): one can in this case calculate one
analytical solution with the problem and thus to compare the results obtained with Code_Aster with this solution of
reference.
For reasons of symmetry, one is interested only in the eighth of a sample subjected to a triaxial compression test.
modeling is axisymmetric.

1) Initially, one brings the sample in a homogeneous state

that, the corresponding confining pressure is imposed on the front faces (

2) Once the homogeneous state obtained, displacements are maintained locked on the faces

front faces and side straight line. A displacement is imposed on the higher face (

Reference solution
2.1
Calculation of the reference solution
One places here in the case of a triaxial compression test for which the stresses of containment are
applied in directions X and Z and for which the direction of imposed deformation is the direction
y. One supposes moreover than the parameter
is independent of the parameter of work hardening
,
i.e.
LMBO

: it is then possible to calculate an analytical solution with the problem.
