Tóm tắt

In principle, the mechanical properties of soil particles are irreversibly changed after particles are subjected to heating. Accordingly, this study performed ring-shear tests on calcareous sand samples subjected to high temperatures to qualitatively investigate the influence exerted by the degradation of the calcareous sand, caused by the thermal effect, on the large displacement shear characteristics of the samples. The effects of the shear velocity and normal stress on the quasi-static shear behavior of the calcareous sand samples were analyzed. The influence of the thermal effect on the quasi-static shear flow behavior of the samples is primarily reflected in the change in the particle mineral composition, particle hardness, and sample density. These variations result in changes in the shear strength, residual shear stress, macroscopic friction coefficient, and other shear characteristics of the calcareous sand samples. Both the shear velocity and the high temperature affect the fluctuation amplitude of the residual shear stress. The results have great theoretical and practical significance in terms of explaining the instability mechanism of a slope. Moreover, a feasible and effective technique is proposed to investigate the large-displacement shear behavior of soil subjected to the thermal effect exerted by a long-runout landslide.
