LEAP-2018 - Stress-strain response of Ottawa F65 sand in Cyclic Simple Shear

This project publishes the results of cyclic direct simple shear tests performed at George Washington University (GWU) to characterize the stress-strain-strength response of Ottawa F-65 sand. This data along with the results of the cyclic torsional shear tests conducted at Kyoto University for LEAP-Asia-2018, and the results of the monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests conducted at GWU for LEAP-2015 and LEAP-2017 are provided to the numerical simulation teams who participate in the LEAP-Asia-2018 and LEAP-RPI-2019 prediction exercises. The numerical simulation teams use these results to calibrate the constitutive models.
