Abstract EN
Loading rate and specimen geometry are critical parameters used in simple compressive tests to determine the strength of earth materials.
In this study, cubic and cylindrical unstabilized compacted earth block of different sizes were manufactured and tested in unconfined compression to investigate the size and shape effects on the compressive strength of earth materials under different loading rates.
The correlation between the compressive strength of earth materials and the geometric parameters of the specimen was determined.
The recommended loading rate and sample for testing the compressive strength of earth materials were given.
Finally, a constitutive model for describing the stress-strain response of earth materials was proposed.
This model modifies the defects of the constitutive equations suggested in previous studies and may be applied to the numerical analysis of earth structure.
