REIS, R. M. (2004). Stress-Strain Behavior of Two Horizons of a Residual Soil from Gneiss. São Carlos, 2004. Tese (Doutorado) Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos, Universidade de São Paulo, São Carlos, 2004. This thesis deals with the stress-strain behavior of a mature soil and a young soil from a typical residual soil of gneiss, as found in Viçosa-MG. This behavior is analyzed under saturated and non saturated conditions. The study rests on physical and mineralogical characterization tests, on porosimetric and morphological analyses (thin section) and on triaxial compression tests performed with saturated and non saturated soil. Saturated young and mature specimens were sheared according to different directions and saturated young soil was also sheared following various stress path. It is shown that the shear strength of saturated soil, both mature and young is independent of shearing direction. However, the visually more homogeneous mature soil showed to be more anisotropic, regarding the deformability, than the young residual soil that visually seems to be heterogeneous. The cohesion intercept tends to increase with soil suction according to a non linear relationship that can be adjusted through a hyperbolic function, while the angle of shearing stress was not influenced by soil suction. An alternative to forecast unsaturated shear strength envelope based on results of saturated soil and on tests performed at a known suction is also presented. The yielding curve of young soil was found to be fairly predicted using modified Cam-Clay model. The yield curve is centered along the hydrostatic axis of stress and its shape didn’t change during soil strain hardening that was obtained by joining the points to that exhibited the same plastic work.
