Abstract: Rockfill, a coarse granular material commonly used in dam construction, exhibits complex mechanical behavior under generalized stress conditions. This paper investigates the mechanical properties of rockfill through a series of stress-path tests conducted on a self-developed, large-scale true triaxial apparatus with cubical specimens of 60 × 30 × 30cm. Three test series are carried out by varying the mean effective stress, the deviator stress and the Lode's angle, respectively. An elastoplastic constitutive model is presented to describe the behavior of rockfill. An improved dilatancy equation is introduced by considering the phase transformation stress ratio instead of the critical stress ratio. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
