Experimental Investigation for Structural Effect of Soft Clay under Low Frequency Cyclic Loading

Abstract:

Structural effect character is one of the important properties of soft clay. It has great influences on its physical and mechanical properties, especially on its deformation features. On the basis of the laboratory tests, the structural behavior of marine soft clay in Pearl River Delta region under the low frequency cyclic loading was tested and analyzed. Combined with both macro-analysis and micro-analysis, it was found that the structural character of the soft clay has great influences on both its compression deformation features and its shearing deformation features.
