Abstract:

Despite the lack of test data of the coefficient of pressure sensitivity αand the shearing cohesion k, the Drucker–Prager criterion is commonly applied for numerical analyses of geotechnical engineering. To bridge the gap between the wide application and insufficient knowledge of strength parameters of the Drucker–Prager criterion, this study presents experimentally calibrated strength parameters of this criterion for the first time. This paper proposes a new method to measure αand k in the Drucker–Prager criterion. The square root of the second invariant of the deviatoric stress tensor J2is linearly fitted with the first invariant of the stress tensor I1in the stress space. The parameters φand c in the Mohr–Coulomb criterion and αand k in the Drucker–Prager criterion are calibrated to the same set of triaxial compression tests of sandstones. With these testing results, five pairs of conversion formulae (which are most commonly used in the literature) are examined and the most appropriate pair of conversion formulae is identified. With parameters indicating cohesive strength (c and k) and parameters indicating frictional strength (φand α), the evolutions of different strength components are compared with those in the cohesion-weakening friction-strengthening model. With an increase in plastic deformation, the cohesive strength parameters c and k firstly increase to a peak value and then decrease. The frictional strength parameters φand αgradually increase at a decreasing rate after the initial yield point.
