Abstract
For the prediction of the stability or settlement of the sea floor or any structure founded on it we should determine the kind of parameters to solve each problem. If we restrict our considerations to cohesive sediments, then the soil constants used for the design of coastal structures on them are classified into the two categories during and after cyclic loading, each depending on the magnitude of cyclically induced excess pore pressures and shear strains. Each cateogry is also sub-divided into the ranges of small and large shear strains, respectively. In this paper, comments are made on both the degradation of deformation modulus during cyclic loading which is regarded as in the category of small strains and the changes in deformation and strength after cyclic loading, as pertaining to the category of large strain for cohesive soils.
