Stress dependency and unloading-induced swelling behaviour of a high plasticity overconsolidated clay of Paleogene origin

High plasticity clay of Paleogene origin in Denmark, possess unique deformational behaviour with significant stress dependent stiffness in oedometric loading/unloading. This is challenging settlement/heave predictions. The behaviour has been so far associated with high smectite content and complex g...
