Abstract
The rheological behavior of soil mass is usually not governed simply by a single process of creep and stress relaxation. Here, a Mesri stress-strain-time relation function (Mesri., G. etc. 1981) is applied to describe the coupled effect of creep and stress relaxation of soft clay. Numerical results are compared with those obtained from data acquired from coupled creep-stress relaxation tests of clay samples. The results of the study are satisfactory. Some relevant factors influencing the coupled effect are also discussed.KeywordsShear StrengthPrincipal StressStress RelaxationCouple EffectSoil MassThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
