Abstract
The modern soil model Hardening Soil, which is used in many software complexes intended for solving geotechnical problems, is considered. The model makes it possible to take into account changes in deformation parameters of soils depending on the level of applied stresses and to describe the deformation processes of cohesive soils under complex loading/unloading trajectories.
The paper also presents tables and graphs obtained during laboratory studies of semi-hard clay "Kyiv marl" in a triaxial system and an oedometer. Based on these data, the soil strength parameters с' and φ', as well as the stiffens modules , , were determined.
To correlate the results of numerical simulation with the real behavior of clay soil in the Plaxis software complex, using the SoilTest virtual laboratory, a test in a triaxial compression device was simulated and soil parameters were identified. This approach makes it possible to increase the accuracy and quality of calculation results.
During identification, the parameters that most affect it were analyzed, which made it possible to better understand which parameters and in which ranges to vary in order to achieve the desired result.
It was determined that the most sensitive parameters are the section modulus of rigidity and the coefficient of destruction Rf. Their percentage sensitivity is 65.9% and 32%, respectively.
By varying the c' and φ' characteristics during the tests in the virtual laboratory, the destruction of the sample was simulated in accordance with real soil studies. Therefore, it is very important to correctly determine these parameters, because this can lead to an underestimation or, on the contrary, an overestimation of the strength of the soil base.
