    In order to prevent ground disasters on volcanic soils, the mechanical properties have to be cleared in detail. In this study, the mechanical characteristics of a volcanic soil which have deposited in Japan were investigated by a series of laboratory tests. The arrangements of soil particles of the compacted specimens were also observed with a microscope. Based on the test results, the effects of compaction condition such as the difference of water content on the undrained strength was discussed. From the results of cross-sectional observation, it was found that the trends of arrangements of soil particles were influenced by the water contents at compaction work. Finally, the undisturbed specimens were sampled on site of slope failure. The undrained strength and soil structure were also discussed in this study.

    The aim of this paper was to clarify the effect of freeze-thawing on the cyclic shear behavior of a crushable volcanic soil that is widely deposited in Hokkaido, Japan. Using a traxial apparatus, which was newly developed to simulate freeze thaw cycles and cyclic loading, a series of cyclic triaxial tests was performed on compacted volcanic soils subjected to freeze thaw cycles. The experimental results showed that freeze-thawing leads to a significant decrease in the liquefaction strength of densely-compacted volcanic soils. The decrement in liquefaction strength depended strongly on the behavior of the excess pore water pressure during cyclic loading. In addition, according to the variation in cyclic deformation behavior induced by the freeze thaw sequence, it was anticipated that the freeze-thawing would be related to the change in the soil fabric of the specimens. However, the specimens compacted at a lower dry density seemed to be inconsistent with the above; i.e., the liquefaction strength became almost the same regardless of whether or not the specimens were exposed to the freeze-thaw sequence. Thus, it was concluded that the freeze-thaw sequence can degrade the dynamic properties of volcanic soil, but that such influences ought to be incorporated into a correlation with the dry density.

    Slope instability issues due to freeze-thaw action, rainfall and seismicity are common in cold regions like Hokkaido. It is essential to study the varied impacts of temperature difference and infiltration due to rainfall on soil slope stability. The main objective of this study is to find a suitable slope stability assessment method considering the effects of freeze-thaw and rainfall. An embankment slope failure study performed by previous researchers has been numerically simulated. A modelling methodology to perform freeze-thaw, seepage and limit equilibrium slope stability analysis has been adopted and followed. Crucial parameters for slope stability i.e. initial moisture content, moisture content distribution during failure were obtained from the simulation and then compared with the measurement data. The numerical results compared with the measured data provide rational satisfaction and demonstrate the applicability of the software code in order to predict the stability of slope. The numerical modelling approach used in this study is found useful in analysing the rational stability of soil slopes and to simulate the moisture content distribution of slopes subjected to freeze-thaw and rainfall infiltration.

    In recent years, earthquakes and heavy rains have frequently caused soil embankments to collapse. In order to prevent the collapse of embankments, it is well known that sufficient compaction and drainage control are necessary. Although numerous research findings have described compacted soils, compaction management has been essentially based on simple parameters such as dry density, degree of saturation or air content. It is important for the construction of a stiff embankment that the effect of compaction condition on the mechanical properties and inherent anisotropy of compacted soil should be recognized in detail. In the present study, the relationships between the compaction condition and the mechanical properties obtained from laboratory tests using saturated specimens are presented. Specifically, undrained monotonic and cyclic shear strength, shear modulus, and permeability are reported. The arrangements of soil particles were also observed with a microscope. From the observation of fabric characteristics of soil particles, an inherent anisotropy of compacted soil is discussed. Furthermore, a conceptualization of the relationship between the fabric of soil particles and the mechanical characteristics for each compaction condition is suggested.

    Embankment structures in Japan have been subjected to a large number of earthquakes and as a result some of them leads to the failure of embankments. Therefore it can be unavoidable to develop the evaluation of seismic performance and the seismic design to constructed embankments. At present embankment is constructed fundamentally by managing degree of compaction Dc (%) at higher water content than the optimum water content wopt (%). However, it is pointed out that the difference of water content at compaction has some effects on mechanical characteristics of compacted soil even if the same degree of compaction is obtained. Furthermore, it has been gradually revealed that the mechanical characteristics can be remarkably improved due to achieving as the high degree of compaction as possible.
     Keeping in view the above, a series of cyclic undrained triaxial tests was carried out on compacted and saturated sandy-silt soil, which was actually adopted as a dike material. The specimens were prepared by compaction at the different water content with various compaction energy Ec (kN/m3) in order to compare with effects of compaction condition such as the degree of compaction and water content on seismic characteristics. Experimental results show that the samples compacted at lower water content than the optimum water content wopt (%) are stronger than the samples compacted at higher water content than wopt under the same degree of compaction. It is also confirmed that the deformation due to cyclic loading develops rapidly at drier side of wopt rather than at wetter side of wopt. Thus, it is inferred that seismic performance of embankment greatly relies on some factors such as degree of compaction and water content.

    In order to reveal change in mechanical characteristics of soil due to difference of compaction condition, a series of laboratory tests on sandy silt which was used as embankment material are performed. In those tests, shear strength, shear modulus and coefficient of permeability are measured under the various compaction conditions. Firstly, it is shown that shear strength of the specimen prepared at the optimum water content is higher than these of drier and wetter condition at the lower confining pressure. On the other hand, it is found that vertical permeability and shear modulus of the specimens depend on the degree of compaction and water content at compaction. At the same compaction energy, the permeability and the shear modulus show the minimum and maximum values at the wetter situation. Those experimental facts are reflected to the change in the soil fabric of specimen due to the compaction. In order to reveal the correlations among the shear strength, shear modulus and permeability coefficient prepared at the various compaction conditions are graphically-illustrated. Those explain that (1) increase of the permeability coefficient makes the strength reduction, (2) the shear strength increase in almost directly proportion to the shear modulus of compacted specimen. In this study, it is attempted to express the patterns for fabrics of compacted soil. At the compaction under drier condition, the finer particles generally stand up and coarse particles lay horizontally. By contrast, under wetter condition, the finer particles lay horizontally and coarse particles almost stand up. Those may explain reasonably the effects of condition of compaction on the mechanical properties.

    In this study, mechanical characteristics of soil material used to construct river embankment were investigated by a series of laboratory test. The soil has the maximum grain size of 2.0 mm, finer contents of 68.1% and plastic index of 12.3%. The maximum dry density and the optimum water content by compaction tests using an energy level of 1.13Ec, where Ec denoted the standard Proctor test, are 1.446 g/cm(3) and 25.0%, respectively. To evaluate effects of compaction condition on the shear strength and other mechanical behavior of the soil, the specimens are prepared by compaction under various conditions in terms of dry density, water contents and compaction energy. The relationships between the compaction condition and the mechanical properties from the test on saturated specimens are presented in this paper. It is shown that the micro-fabric of compacted soil is controlled not only compaction energy but also water content at compaction and the mechanical properties are affected by not only dry density but also the micro-fabric.

    The islands of Japan have been subjected to a large number of earthquakes. Recent big earthquakes destroyed embankment structures. In order to avoid damages of embankment, it is important to reveal effects of compaction conditions such as degree of compaction D-c and water content at compaction w(i) on seismic performance of embankment. In this research, a series of cyclic undrained triaxial test was carried out on saturated sandy-silt soil, which was actually adopted as a dike material. The specimens were compacted at the optimum water content w(opt), drier condition and wetter condition than wopt with different compaction energies E-c (kN/m(3)) to each specimen. The experimental results definitely indicate that dynamic behavior is significantly influenced by compaction condition.

    This paper aims at clarifying failure mechanisms of volcanic slope with crushable particles due to rainfall and freeze-thaw action. A series of rainfall tests was performed on model volcanic slopes having several water contents and slope angles. Considering the model test results, it was found that surface slope failure was changed depending strongly on slope angle and the initial water content. Furthermore, it was shown that the effect of freeze-thaw action on mechanical behavior for volcanic slope having high crushable particles was higher than that for volcanic slope having low crushable particles, and could not be ignored for evaluation of slope stability. © 2011 ASCE.

    An experimental study on the mechanical response of anisotropic seabed to wave force and oscillation of man-made structures such as wave dissipating blocks and breakwaters was performed on a model soil box with two-dimensional plane strain condition. Using model ground comprised of Toyoura sand reconstituted by air-pluviation method, a series of cyclic loading tests on model structures under several foundation conditions was conducted at a loading pattern which is capable of simulating the various stress states induced by both oscillation of structure and wave force. Test results showed that the strength and deformation characteristics of model sand deposits are basically identical to those estimated from the conventional cyclic undrained triaxial test and are different depending strongly on the changes in the depositional condition of the ground. Based on the results of model testing, the applicability of countermeasures constructed by both side wall and sheet pile was investigated to prevent ground failure. Considering the model testing results, it was also found that the installation of side walls beneath structures and sheet piles into the ground are advantageous as countermeasures against progressive failure on sand ground subjected to wave loading.

    This paper presents the fundamentals of mechanical behavior of anisotropic sand beds subjected to the loading by wave-structure interactions. A series of model tests was performed on a model structure by using the soil box with two-dimensional plane strain condition and the Toyoura sand ground to clarify mechanical behavior of the anisotropic sand beds bearing structures such as caisson type breakwaters. In particular, effect of fabric anisotropy on bearing capacity was examined in detail. Based on the experimental results in which the shape of plastic wedge zone of anisotropic ground at the peak of bearing capacity was strongly depending on the initial sand deposition condition, an evaluation method for the bearing capacity was also proposed according to the upper bound solution in the limit analysis.

      Collapse of slope formed from volcanic soils has been frequently caused in Hokkaido, Japan. This study aims at clarifying failure mechanism of volcanic slope caused by both rainfall and freeze-thaw action. In particular, the effects of freeze-thaw action, slope angle, density and friction of impermeable layer in the slope on mechanical behavior were detailedly investigated on volcanic slopes having several shapes. The results showed that; surface slope failure depends strongly on slope angle, the friction characteristics of impermeable layer and rainfall intensity, and the formation of frozen layer in spring season and the softening of slope by freeze-thaw action in summer season are important for evaluating the stability of volcanic slope.

    This paper presents the fundamentals of mechanical behavior of anisotropic sand beds subjected to wave-structure interactions. A series of model tests was conducted in 1 g field, and the stress conditions in the prototype were replicated by means of both the cyclic loading system and the oscillating water pressure loading system. Similarly, the feature of failure of caisson-breakwaters in Japan due to ocean wave loadings was investigated in detail. Based on the experimental results in which the shape of plastic wedge zone of anisotropic ground at the peak of bearing capacity was strongly depending on the initial sand deposition condition, an evaluation method for the bearing capacity was proposed according to the upper bound solution in the limit analysis.

    The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of degree of saturation on the strength characteristics of volcanic coarse-grained soils, wherein particle breakage significantly takes place during loading and deformation processes, under various degrees of saturation conditions. In this paper, a series of monotonic triaxial compression tests for two kinds of volcanic coarse-grained soils are performed under various degrees of saturation conditions, and the relationships between degree of saturation, degree of particle breakage and strength are examined based on experimental results. As the result, the following conclusions are obtained: The shear strength of crushable coarse-grained volcanic soils decreases with an increase in the amount of particle breakage. Particle breakage is strongly influenced by the degree of saturation of the soil matrix. Accordingly, as the crushable volcanic coarse-grained soil becomes saturated, particle breakage becomes more dominant, thereby decreasing the shear strength of the soil.

    In order to clarify the deformation behavior of structure-sand ground system subjected to cyclic loadings such as wave force, a series of FE analysis based on Mohr-Coulomb criteria with non-associated flow rule, together with 1 g model tests were carried out under various loading conditions. In the model test, characteristics of elastic modulus of sand deposits were investigated in detail and were quantified. It is observed that the stiffness of sand deposits changes with increasing of the settlement of structure. Softening behavior of sand deposits suddenly occurs if lateral flow deformation due to cyclic loading exceeds a limit. Based on such behavior, a new analytical technique in use for predicting deformation of structure-ground was proposed. The analytical results can explain well the lateral deformation of sand ground-structure system under various loading conditions.

    波浪場にある構造物・地盤系では, 外力-構造物-地盤の動的相互作用によって基礎地盤の支持力低下や側方流動型の大変形が誘発される現象が見られる. したがって, 繰返し荷重を受ける構造物・地盤系の安定性を管理するために, 地盤内の側方流動特性を把握することが重要となる. 本研究では一連の有限要素解析および模型試験を行い, 繰返し載荷場での構造物支持地盤の剛性変化特性を調べた. さらに地盤の剛性変化特性を考慮した変形解析法を提案した. 提案法は波浪のような繰返し力を受ける地盤の流動変形を評価するために有効であることが示された.

    The present study aims to clarify the mechanical response of sand bed bearing coastal structures such as wave dissipating blocks and breakwaters to ocean wave. A series of cyclic loading tests and model tests were performed on a model structure under several loading conditions induced by wave forces. In the model tests, field conditions are simulated by using the cyclic loading systems, the oscillating water pressure loading system and the two dimensional plane strain soil box, which are developed in this study. It was found that 1) the reproductions of (1)perfectly reversal condition of cyclic shear stress induced in sand deposits and (2)oscillating water pressure effects are very important in the model tests to see the mechanical response of seabed-structure system, 2) the failure modes of ground depend strongly on the magnitude and direction of wave forces, and 3) the ground failure is produced not only by initial liquefaction but also by lateral flow slide.

    The deformation behavior of seabed bearing coastal structures subjected to wave force was investigated using a model soil box with a two-dimensional plane strain condition. A series of cyclic loading tests were performed on model dissipating structures under loading conditions which simulate several loads such as that of an ocean wave. It was found that the progressive flow failure of the seabed bearing a man-made structure was not induced by initial liquefaction but by lateral flow slide, and the installation of side wall such as sheet pile in the sand leads to noticeably reduce the settlement and lateral flow deformation of seabed. Furthermore, a prediction method of the settlement and horizontal displacement of a structure due to cyclic loading was developed based on the test results.

    High embankment in Shin-Tomei-expressway was built in the Asitaka Loam. This embankment has height of 55 meters. In this site, the significant settlement was concerned over the long term after finishing construction the embankment. This paper shows the data about the settlement obtained by long term observation and laboratory tests. Based on those data, we tried that we evaluated the settlement of construction and future of the high embankment using Ashitaka loam. As a result, it was found that the settlement of embankment under construction produced around 5-9%, the laboratory test had a small settlements for that we calculated from an actual value, the observation during construction at the short span became large settlements, and the residual settlement of around 100cm may occur ten years after the number.

    It is important to reveal mechanical characteristics of compacted soils in order to ensure stable performance for embankments. However, there may be few experimental studies to verify cyclic shear behavior of embankments. Furthermore, the evaluation of liquefaction potential of embankments has been recently pointed out as well as that of foundation below embankments.<br> On the other hand, in Hokkaido, where many kinds of volcanic soils widely deposit, those soils have been often employed as embankment materials. According to previous researches, coarse-grained volcanic soils have some features of fragility and inner-porosity to cause particle breakage which influence the mechanical characteristics of those soils.<br> In this study, for the purpose to evaluate the influential factors on the cyclic shear behavior of embankments, a series of cyclic undrained triaxial tests was carried out on compacted samples using a coarse-grained volcanic soil deposited in Hokkaido. Each triaxial specimen was made in a different condition based on water content at compaction, dry density and finer content. Experimental results show that compaction conditions such as water content and dry density can affect cyclic strength of compacted soils. However, the tendency to cyclic strength may be quite different depending on the difference of finer content.

    Collapse of slope formed from volcanic soils has been frequently caused in Hokkaido, Japan. This study aims at clarifying failure mechanism of volcanic slope caused by both rainfall and freeze-thaw action. In particular, the effects of freeze-thaw action, slope angle, density and friction of impermeable layer in the slope on mechanical behavior were detailedly investigated on volcanic slopes having several shapes. The results showed that; surface slope failure depends strongly on slope angle, the friction characteristics of impermeable layer and rainfall intensity, and the formation of frozen layer in spring season and the softening of slope by freeze-thaw action in summer season are important for evaluating the stability of volcanic slope.

    The present study aims at revealing mechanical behavior of anisotropic ground beneath a structure subjected to cyclic loading. In particular, effect of fabric anisotropy on cyclic strength-lateral flow deformation behavior was investigated by using the soil box apparatus. For example, dependence of fabric anisotropy of the ground on deformation direction was evaluated quantitatively. Test results showed that deformation direction in the ground-structure system depended strongly on the depositional condition of the ground and developed in the direction of bedding plane where the relative angle δ=45°-φ/2-ψ became the smallest in the ground.

    Deformation behavior of a structure-ground system is evaluated using a series of numerical analyses and laboratory tests. In order to investigate the change in rigidity of sand, a triaxial tests apparatus with bender element was used to evaluate shear modulus of sand specimens. An analysis technique is proposed with consideration of rigidity reduction, based on the results of laboratory tests. Using the proposed method, behavior of settlement and lateral deformation of the structure-ground system are well simulated. Analyzed lateral displacement of the structure-ground system is compared to the laboratory data obtained by the model test.

    It is important to investigate the deformation behavior of ground in order to evaluate the stability of coastal structure-ground system. Rigidity variation of ground under cyclic loading condition should be revealed for the deformation analysis. In present study, the effect of excess pore water pressure on rigidity variation of sand at the large strain region is clarified by bender element test. Deformation analysis based on the results of bender element test can explain deformation of structure-ground system under cyclic loading.

    As one of the methods to reduce lateral earth pressure on bridge abutment specially constructed in soft ground, lightweight geomaterial have been used for back-filling of bridge abutment. In this study, FEM analysis was carried out to evaluate a reduction of lateral earth pressure and the deformation of lightweight backfill acting behind the bridge abutment. Through the analysis, field measured data of the bridge backfilled with lightweight geomaterial was compared to the analyzed data. It was revealed that the earth pressure of backfill was reduced when the backfill was placed by lightweight geomaterial although the deformation had been still occured.

    It is necessary for design of ground-structure system that mechanism of lateral flow deformation behavior under cyclic loading condition can be evaluated by simple analysis technique. In this study, a series of FE analysis based on Mohr-Coulomb criteria with non-associated flow rule was preformed. In order to accurately simulate the deformation of ground, a simple relationship between internal friction angle of sand and shear strain is assumed. Analysis technique with considering change in elastic modulus and strength is developed. It is shown that this method may be useful for analysis on lateral flow deformation under cyclic loading conditions.

    Lightweight geomaterials have been developed and utilized recently for the construction of embankments and earth structures where it is not suitable to use ordinary soil. In this study static and cyclic mechanical behavior of air foamed lightweight geomaterial was investigated. Series of unconfined compression and cyclic triaxial tests were carried out by using 28 days-curing specimens. It was confirmed that the unconfined compression strength and Young′s modulus of the material could be controlled by adjusting dry density, moisture content and curing temperature. Based on the test results, correlation between cyclic shear modulus and unconfined compression strength was predicted.

    Settlement analysis of an offshore structure attributed to lateral flow deformation of ground beneath the structure has been conducted. It is desired for coastal engineering design that deformation behavior of structure-ground system can be assessed by simple method such as finite element analysis. In order to reveal the mechanical behavior of sand ground which supports a structure subjected to various cyclic loads, a series of model tests and elasto-plastic FE analysis were carried out. In this study, one conventional technique for the deformation analysis for structure-sand deposits system is proposed.

    In order to analytically mechanical behavior of sand-ground system under cyclic vertical central or eccentric loading condition, a series of FEM analyses and model tests were performed. From the model test, it was observed that the sand deposits beneath a structure subjected to static or cyclic loadings deform laterally with increasing of the settlement of structure. In addition, the characteristics of ground deformation vary from hardening to softening behavior, in particular, under the cyclic condition. Based on the test results, a technique of analysis for lateral deformation based on th...

    The aim of this study is to reveal the failure mechanism of volcanic slopes in cold regions and to propose a prediction method on failure. To achieve the purposes, full-scale embankments were constructed under several conditions in Sapporo, Japan. A typical volcanic soil in the field was adopted as a soil material. After construction of embankments, changes in soil moisture, temperature, pore water pressure were investigated using devices such as soil moisture meters, etc. Simultaneously, a series of model tests was performed on small size slopes formed by the same material as that in the field to compare with the mechanical behavior of embankments. A series of triaxial tests was also conducted on compacted volcanic soils subjected to freeze-thaw cycles using a new apparatus. As a result, a reasonable prediction method of failure was proposed based on changes in water content, and its validity was confirmed.

    In this study, we proposed new testing methods for the evaluation of the deformation-strength characteristics of base course materials subjected to freeze-thaw action, and examined the mechanical behavior of granular base before and after freeze-thawing and under freezing. We also evaluated the influences of the change in the performance of granular base due to freeze-thawing on the fatigue breaking of pavements in cold regions by applying the theoretical design method for asphalt pavement. As the result, it was revealed that the freeze-thawing of granular base has a strong influence on the fatigue life of pavement structure in cold regions because it varies the deformation-strength characteristics of base course materials.

    In order to investigate characteristics of mechanical behavior of immobilized soil contaminated by lead and hexavalent chromium. In this study, a volcanic product is use as a material of the immobilization of polluted soil. From the test results, it is found that admixture of the volcanic product and polluted soil brings in secure immobilization. On the other hand, it is pointed out that a possibility for strength reduction of immobilized soil by using present technique is exits.

    We elucidated the interaction between various factors which caused subsurface failure of volcanic soil ground subjected to freeze-thaw action in cold regions in terms of soil mechanics, and we proposed a new simple prediction method for the rain-induced slope failure in snow-melting seasons in consideration of the degradation of deformation-strength characteristics of geomaterials due to freeze-thawing. We also developed a geo-information database which integrated the various different kinds of information such as weather reports, geotechnical information, and records for past geohazards. Based on these achievements, finally, we developed the system which could evaluate a risk of rain-induced slope failure at subsurface layers suffered from freeze-thaw by using both above-mentioned prediction method and geo-information database.

    This study examines the mechanical behavior of granular materials under saturated and unsaturated conditions subjected to cyclic moving loads, for example gravel roadbed and railroad ballast, and both a new testing methods and new analytical procedure to examine the effects of the rotation of principal stress axes and water content on cyclic plastic deformation of granular base course materials are proposed. The following conclusions can be obtained; 1. Two types of small scale model tests which adopted a fixed-place loading method and a moving loading method were performed with a base course material under air-dried condition and saturated condition. As the results, it was revealed that the water content of the base course material influences the mechanical behavior of granular base strongly, and the effect on the development of residual settlement for granular base under cyclic loading remarkably comes to the surface in employing moving loads. 2. Two types of multi-ring shear tests, which can consider a change in direction of principal stresses like traffic loads, were performed in the same way as loading methods in small scale model tests. As the results, it was revealed that the shear strength decreased and the cumulative residual strain increased due to the saturation, and that the mechanical behavior in multi-ring shear tests is very similar to that in small scale model tests, regardless of loading methods and water contents. 3. A new method to estimate cyclic plastic deformation of granular base under repeated wheel traveling in terms of the strength and deformation characteristics of granular base course materials was proposed. The simple analytical procedure with linear elastic FE analysis considering the cumulative strain derived from multi-ring shear test results of base course materials can roughly estimate the residual settlement of granular base under saturated and unsaturated conditions subjected to cyclic moving loads.

    Based on the experimental and numerical studies of slope stability of crushable soils, the following conclusions are obtained: 1.Effect of freeze-thaw sequence on static mechanical behavior of volcanic soil (1)Particle breakage of volcanic coarse-grained soil significantly occurs due to the repetition of freeze-thaw sequence. The particle breakage affects strongly on static strength and rigidity of volcanic soil. (2)Volcanic soil subjected to freeze-thaw sequences may produce a remarkable crushability at low confining pressure level. This fact suggests that deterioration in the stability of slope near the surface is significant on snowy cold region. 2.Effect of freeze-thaw sequence on dynamic mechanical behavior of volcanic soil (1)Shear modulus of volcanic coarse-grained soil decreases due to freeze-thaw sequences. On the other hand, freeze-thaw action may less affect hysteresis damping ratio. (2)Liquefaction resistance of volcanic soil decreased due to freeze-thaw sequences. This fact may attribute the reduction of the liquefaction resistance to the increase in finer content induced by particle breakage during freeze-thaw sequences. 3.Rainfall-induced slope collapse for crushable volcanic soil and its evaluation (1)From the results of model tests, it is found that excess pore water pressure and saturation degree play a key role in the slope failure induced by rainfall. (2)Depth and shape of impermeable layer in the slope are critical to estimate the stability of slope. 4.Numerical analysis for rainfall-induced slope failure for crushable volcanic soil (1)A series of numerical analysis by DEM showed that proposed small void elements between soil particles, which are able to expand in accordance with temperature depression, can simulate the mechanical freeze-thaw performance of granular materials. (2)Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) could explain the slope failure mechanism if rainfall and dilatancy effects on volcanic soil are estimated appropriately into analysis algorithm.

    This study examines the mechanical behavior of granular materials subjected to cyclic moving loads, for example gravel roadbed and railroad ballast, and both a new testing method and new analytical procedures to examine the effects of the rotation of principal stress axes on cyclic plastic deformation of granular materials are proposed. The following conclusions can be obtained ; 1.Cyclic plastic deformation obtained through moving loading tests is much larger than those obtained through fixed-place cyclic loading tests when other experimental conditions are the same. Accordingly, the difference in loading methods has a significant influence on the cyclic plastic deformation of granular materials. 2.Residual strain obtained through cyclic loading triaxial tests with constant amplitude of deviator stress while controlling confining pressure constant is very small compared with the macro residual strain calculated from force-displacement relationships in moving loading tests, while that of cyclic torsional simple shear tests using a newly developed "Multi-ring shear apparatus" is almost equivalent to moving loading tests. Therefore, the multi-ring shear test is appropriate for an element test to simulate the actual stress states inside substructures under traffic loads. Moreover, it was revealed that the rotation of principal stress axes has a significant effect on cyclic deformation characteristics of granular materials. 3.Two analytical procedures for simulating the mechanical behavior of granular materials subjected to cyclic moving loads were proposed. One is linear elastic FE analysis considering the material properties of cumulative strain derived from element test results of granular materials, which can roughly estimate the residual settlement of granular substructures due to cyclic loading. The other is discontinuous analysis which elements imitate the shape of real gram particles well because it was revealed that the element shape is one of the dominant factors to determine the mechanical behavior of granular assemblage in discontinuous analysis.
