Soft clay forms a big proportion of the seabed ground. In a marine environment, waves,
wind, and earthquakes, often known as cyclic loads, are a main contributor to the loading of …

In certain field conditions, the soil element is subjected to cyclic stress paths with both
principal stress rotation and deviatoric stress variation. To better understand the response of …

Vehicle traffic loading appears to contribute significantly to long-term settlement beneath
highways, airport runways, and metro lines in China. Wheel loading imposes cycles in both …

It is well known that soil is inherently anisotropic and its mechanical behavior is significantly
influenced by its fabric anisotropy. Hypoplasticity is increasingly being accepted in the …

Approximately 25% of China's 120 000 km of expressway, as well as many new metro lines
and airports, rest on soft clay deposits. However, service settlements are proving larger than …

In practical engineering, cyclic shear stresses induced by earthquakes, traffic, and waves
are superimposed on the initial static shear stress in sand fills or deposits, leading to …

Soft marine clays may be subjected to tens of thousands of cyclic applications of waves or
traffic loads over a long period of time. Therefore, its cyclic deformation behavior is one of …

Undrained torsional shear tests were carried out on remolded loess specimens using a
hollow cylinder apparatus to investigate the deformation behavior and noncoaxiality (where …

In practical engineering, a driving stress often exists and acts on the soil elements, and this
stress may have a significant effect on the deformational characteristics and liquefaction …

The traffic-induced settlements of clay subgrade are usually investigated based on one-way
cyclic triaxial tests. Most one-way triaxial cyclic tests on clays have been carried out on …
