Explicit Model for Cumulative Pore Pressure of Saturated Soft Clay

Abstract:

The principal stress axial would cyclic rotate when the moving pressure passed. In order to analyze long-term settlement of the ground subjected to traffic loading, the simplified method based on explicit model for predicting the accumulative deformations is usually preferred. The traditional model could not reflect the phenomenon of principal stress rotation. After the axial stress controlled equation and circumferential shear stress controlled equation were derived, A series of consolidated undrained cyclic shear tests were performed under the condition that the general shear stress value was constant and the principal stress angle was rotating. The explicit pore pressure model reference was verified to calculate the accumulative pore pressure caused by the principal stress axial cyclic loading.
