Abstract:

According to the distributing characteristics of water content and ground temperature along Qinghai-Tibet Railway, triaxial compressive experiments of frozen sandy soils from Qinghai-Tibet plateau were conducted with 30%-80% (supersaturated)water contents and temperature ranging from -0.5℃ to -6.0℃. The results show that with increasing water content, strength of sandy soil nonlinearly increases when the testing temperatures is -0.5℃; and it has a minimum value with the temperature of -1.0℃, whereas when the temperature is equal to or below -2.0℃ it gradually decreases. Based on the relationship between the strength and normal stress under different temperatures, yielding criteria of Mises and linear Mohr-Coulomb is used to describe the yielding situation of sandy soil, respectively.

Key words: frozen sandy soil, compressive strength, supersaturated water content, yielding criteria
