Features: Revealing the nature of soil has always been a significant topic in the development of soil mechanics. This book is a concise summary of the author's research on the deformation characteristics of sandy soil based on years of practical work. It consists of four parts: Part I (Chapters 1 and 2) provides a relatively detailed overview of the state-dependent dilatancy characteristics of sandy soil; Part II (Chapters 3, 4, and 5) respectively introduces the small-strain characteristics of sandy soil, the deformation characteristics of sandy soil in triaxial space, and the deformation characteristics of sandy soil under complex loading conditions; Part III (Chapter 6) introduces the state-dependent dilatancy theory of sandy soil and a unified constitutive model for sandy soil; Part IV (Chapter 7) discusses the formation process of shear bands in dense sandy soil and its numerical simulation. This book can serve as a reference for scientific researchers, designers, and engineering professionals in relevant fields, as well as a teaching reference for postgraduate students in civil engineering, water conservancy, and construction engineering at universities.
