Abstract

This paper presents the results of a series of one-way cyclic triaxial tests carried out to investigate the role of cyclic stress level and overconsolidation ratio (OCR) on the permanent deformation behaviour of saturated clayey subsoil during long-term cyclic loading. Based on the test results and shakedown concept, two cyclic threshold deviator stress ratios can be defined: the plastic shakedown limit cyclic deviator stress ratio CSRpt (0.46) and the plastic creep shakedown limit cyclic deviator stress ratio CSRpc (0.75). It was found that, below CSRpt, the soil experiences slight deformation and gradually achieves a long-term steady state response. Within the range of CSRpt<CSR<CSRpc, the plastic strain will accumulates substantially and becomes unstable. Once the CSRpc is exceeded significant deformation and failure may occur. In the practical engineering, CSRpt can be used for preliminary design of pavement foundation. In addition, based on the test results, a simplified permanent axial strain model that explicitly considers the effects of CSR and OCR is developed.

Abstract

The effect of variable confining pressure (VCP) on the cyclic deformation and cyclic pore water pressure in K0-consolidated saturated soft marine clay were investigated with the help of the cyclic stress-controlled advanced dynamic triaxial test in undrained condition. The testing program encompassed three cyclic deviator stress ratios, CSR=0.189, 0.284 and 0.379 and three stress path inclinations ηampl=3,1 and 0.64. All tests with constant confining pressure (CCP) and variable confining pressure (VCP) have identical initial stress and average stress. The results were analyzed in terms of the accumulative normalized excess pore water pressure rqu recorded at the end of each stress cycle and permanent axial strain, as well as resilient modulus. Limited data suggest that these behavior are significantly affected by both of the VCP and CSR. For a given value of VCP, both of the pore water pressure rqu and permanent axial strains are consistently increase with the increasing values of CSR. However, for a given value of CSR, the extent of the influence of VCP and the trend is substantially depend on the CSR.
