Abstract

Abstract

In order to study the properties of soft soil, the 1-D consolidation-creep test has been completed. The effect of the secondary consolidation on the consolidation process is analyzed. Treating the saturated soft clay as viscoelastic body, a new method of separation of the secondary consolidation and primary consolidation is proposed. Some interesting conclusions concerning the effect of secondary consolidation are drawn from the test results.
- soft soil,
- primary consolidation,
