Experiment Research on Deformation Properties under Unloading of Soft Clay

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, many experiments are developed to analyze the deformation properties under unloading of soft clay. There are many settlement deformation analyses about soft soil ground in the past. Now we need analyze the rebound deformation in many engineering. Deformation properties under unloading of soft clay have been studied through large numbers of tests. The soft clay’s rebound defamation existed critical unload ratio, When its unload ratio is less than critical unload ratio, rebound deformation doesn’t happen; But rebound deformation would happen if unload ratio is more than critical unload ratio; The soft clay deformation after unloading is divided into three parts included primary rebound, secondary rebound and appending secondary consolidation deformation.
