Deformation Parameters of Macrofragment Soils in Soil Dams

Abstract

The author tries to generalize the results of testing of macrofragment soils, made by other authors and to give recommendations on defining nonlinear model soils parameters. The article gives definitions of volume weight of gravel and pebble ground and mined rock. It’s shown that starting shift modules depending on stress due to prestress can be described in power formula. The author confirms Professor L.N. Rasskazov’s idea about the possibility of describing volume deformation in contraction through intensity of tangent deformation
