Abstract:

Under the influence of special geotectonic conditions, the slate and phyllite in western Sichuan-eastern Tibet are strongly weathered, and the residual soil is widely distributed. It is of great practical significance to study the dynamic characteristics of metamorphic rock-derived, highly-weathered soil in this area. In this study, dynamic triaxial experiment was carried out on the slate residual soil from the region. The results show that the moisture content and confining pressure have obvious influence on dynamic strength of the samples. Under the same consolidation stress and consolidation ratio, the strength decreases with increasing water content. Under the same moisture content and consolidation ratio, the strength increases with increasing consolidation stress, but the correlation is not proportional. The dynamic cohesion of slate residual soil decreases with increasing water content, and the former is highly sensitive to the latter. However, the dynamic friction angle has little changes with increasing water content and is less sensitive to the latter.

Key words: western Sichuan-eastern Tibet, slate residual soil, water content, confining pressure, dynamic strength, dynamic triaxial experiment
