Elastoplastic Mechanical Behaviors of Hydrate-Saturated Sand: Insights from Cyclic Loading–Unloading Triaxial Shear Tests
Cyclic loads induced by artificial and natural disturbances alter strength and deformation characteristics of hydrate-saturated sediments, which are more prone to cause potential geological risks. However, its deformation regularity and control mechanisms are still unclear. Here we redesign a triaxial shear apparatus...
