| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims at creating repeatable granular soil specimens by using X-ray tomography imaging of natural gravel specimens and 3D printing the specimens. We conducted triaxial compression tests of the original source gravel specimens and duplicate specimens with X-ray CT scanning at certain experimental steps before and during compression. Results of conventional triaxial compression testing of source and duplicate specimens were compared. While there are quantitative differences in behavior between source and duplicate specimens, the surrogate specimens are shown to have macro-scale mechanical behavior that may be considered typical of granular soils. The ability to generate identical surrogate granular specimens with the same particle arrangement holds promise to remove the influence on geotechnical laboratory testing outcomes due to the unavoidable structural variation in specimens of natural granular assemblages.
