Study of Long-Term Deformation of Compacted Cohesive Soil Embankments

摘要

Two artificial soils, grundite and Edgar Plastic Kaolin were tested. Their behavior was indistinguishable qualitatively irrespective of compaction method or energy level. Strain differences E sub 1 - E sub 3 determined in the tests have been expressed mathematically as E sub 1 - E sub 3 = at to the b power. The relationships of a and b with respect to cyclic loading, confining pressure and water content was studied. A discussion of stress distribution theories is presented. (Author)
