			ABSTRACT

Two types of rockfill materials collected from two sites are modelled and tested under triaxial loading. The rockfill selected in this study had been used in the construction of the shell of the Ranjit Sagar in Northern India and Purulia dams in Eastern part of India. Stress-strain-volume change behaviour of the rockfill materials are presented and discussed. The behaviour of various rockfill materials has been compared.

Keywords: rockfill, triaxial test, elastic parameters, stress strain behaviour.
