WTNV122 - Triaxial compression test not drained with the law
CAM_CLAY



Summary:

This test makes it possible to validate the mechanical law elastoplastic Cam_Clay specific to the grounds normally
consolidated. This law integrates an elastoplastic hydrostatic mechanism (of which the elastic part is
non-linear and the threshold of flow corresponds to the pressure of consolidation) coupled to a mechanism
deviatoric elastoplastic the elastic part is linear. The behavior is hardening or
softening according to the combination of the two mechanisms.
Three different modelings are carried out in 3D. In each modeling, the test is carried out in
hydro-mechanical coupling and it include/understand two ways of loading:

Modeling A is characterized by:
·
a hydrostatic way of compression in condition drained until the pressure of consolidation,
·
a way not-drained by maintaining the pressures lateral confining on the sample and by imposing one
vertical displacement of compression which induces a triaxial state of stresses, and a plastic mode
contractor.

Modeling B is characterized by:
·
a hydrostatic way of compression in condition drained until the critical pressure, equalizes with
half of the pressure of consolidation,
·
a way not-drained by maintaining the pressures lateral confining on the sample and by imposing one
vertical displacement of compression which induces a triaxial state of stresses up to the critical point.

Modeling C is characterized by:
·
a hydrostatic way of compression in condition drained until a pressure lower than
critical pressure,
·
a way not-drained by maintaining the pressures lateral confining on the sample and by imposing one
vertical displacement of compression which induces a plastic state of stresses triaxial dilating.

1.4 Conditions
initial
The plastic condition of compatibility requires that in an initial state the hydrostatic stress be
strictly higher than zero. To initialize this stress, one chose to carry out at the beginning a calculation
purely elastic while making evolve/move pressure of 0. with 1.E5 AP. One only extracts from this calculation
the stress field at the points of gauss. This stress field resulting from the elastic design is
regarded as the initial state of the hydrostatic stress necessary to the law Cam_Clay of calculation
according to.

Reference solution
An exact solution exists as much as the loading is hydrostatic (cf SSNV160). For the second
triaxial way, an analytical solution is not obvious to find. In the same way, one does not have
data and of triaxial experimental test results allowing to compare with calculations.
This test is a test of not-regression.

Characteristics of the mesh
A number of nodes:

A number of meshs:

The following meshs are defined:
STRAIGHT LINE
NO3 NO5 NO8 NO10 NO12 NO15 NO17 NO20

To account for the 1/8
ème
structure, the boundary conditions in displacement imposed are:
On the LOW face: DZ = 0
On the LEFT face: DY = 0
On the face BEHIND: DX = 0
The loading is consisted of the same pressure divided into compression on the 3 meshs: `HIGH,
“RIGHT” and “IN FRONT” to simulate a hydrostatic test, and of a null water pressure to simulate
the condition of drainage (
0
1
=
PRE
). Then, the pressure distributed is maintained constant on
side faces “STRAIGHT LINE” and “IN FRONT OF”, a displacement DZ is imposed on the variable face “HIGH”
with time, and one changes the hydraulic loading (null flow) to simulate the condition not
drained.
