Abstract:The distinct element method had been widely used to study the macro & micro mechanical behaviors of granular materials, and hence it became more and more important to introduce a reasonable and accurate contact model, which can be applied in a 3D simulation of structured soils. The micro model test method was adopted to analyze the interparticle bond contact responses. Two types of bonded granules glued together with epoxy adhesive or aluminous cement were firstly prepared by a novel selfdesigned apparatus, and then a series of tests, including tension, compression, shear, bending and torsion tests, were subsequently carried out using a rock rheological testing machine and some specific auxiliary loading devices. Test results show that the intergranular bond mechanics and strength envelopes are closely related to the cement agents. The forcedisplacement and the moment/torquerotational angle relationships are approximately linearly in the prefailure stage, while they are different in the postfailure stage for different cement agents, as plastic for epoxy and brittle for cement. Normal force performs a significant influence on the mechanical behaviors of interhemisphere bond; both the critical normal force and stress ratio vary with the cement agent. Under different load space, the shapes of the strength envelopes, where the peak shear strength (shear strength, moment and torque versus normal force) appear nearparabolic.
