Abstract For every material there a maximum amount of stress or pressure that can be withstood until failure occurs, this is called the ductility of the material. Each type of soil would have a different ductility value. Currently there is no formula to determine the ductility of a soil, sample soil must be tested in a laboratory to determine its strength. Therefore we have been analyzing test results on the stress-strain relationship in soil in order to see if we can determine an equation that would simplify the process of determining the ductility of a soil.
Project Description Goals • To determine if there is a correlation between the stress‐strain relationship, soil type and the point of failure of a material • If there is a relationship: to create an algorithm that would make it possible to determine the ductility of a soil using pure mathematics Procedure ‣ Search Engineering databases for relevant data. We were looking for either dry or saturated and drained Triaxial tests. ‣ Extract the relevant data and convert it into the form required for proper analysis ‣ Compare the data to determine if there is indeed a correlation
