| Abstract: | This paper presents the results of a “modeling-of-models” laboratory
exercise conducted in a 1-g environment to investigate the applicability and validity
of established similitude laws. The study, which was performed under static
condition, considers the behavior of cohesive model slopes at small (stiffness) and
large strains (failure). The test program involved three small-scale model slopes
tested under different geometry scaling factors. The models were comprised of an
artificial, fully saturated "model" clay (3 parts kaolinite to 1 part bentonite). The
results indicate that for fully saturated cohesive soils tested under undrained
conditions, similitude laws are valid for static conditions provided that three
dimensional effects and boundary conditions are properly accounted for. |
