It was clarified that the strength and deformation properties of geo-materials depended on strain rate, and the characteristics or degree of the dependency varied in response to the viscous property of the materials. To investigate the effect of strain rate on strength and deformation properties of cement-treated sand, a series of triaxial compression tests was conducted while strain rate was changed stepwise by a factor of up to 1000 in each test.
Characteristics of the dependency on strain rate changed with the progress of loading, due to the large deformation along the shear band. [This abstract is not included in the PDF]
