The soil specimens were made from compacted clay and fully saturated before they were subjected to cyclic loading which was to simulate traffic loading. Pore water pressure buildup and degradation of resilient modulus were observed during the cyclic loading. The buildup of pore water pressure caused the decrease of the effective confining stress, which, in turn, caused the degradation of resilient modulus. The degradation of resilient modulus and pore water pressure buildup were related to some boundary conditions, including loading period. Laboratory tests showed that longer relaxing time between two spikes of loading cycles resulted in lower pore water pressure buildup and less degradation of resilient modulus. In the collected data, there is fluctuation in peak pore water pressure when the soil was subjected to cyclic loading. The reasons are to be determined if more tests can be done.</p> 2001 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1298496394 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1298496394 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
