Abstract
The unclear understanding of the mechanical behavior of soil under unloading conditions is a significant reason for the frequent occurrence of accidents and difficulties in the deformation control of foundation pit engineering in coastal areas. This paper discusses the effect of multistage unloading intensity on the mechanical properties of reconstituted coastal soils containing silty particles through a series of laboratory tests, namely, the CU triaxial, bender-element, and permeability tests. Results indicate that, with an increase in unloading intensity, the shear strength and stiffness parameters decrease, while permeability slightly increases. The effect of unloading intensity on the mechanical properties of silt and mucky silty clay is more pronounced. Additional consideration should be given to the effect of a single excavation depth on the mechanical properties of fine-grained soil in foundation pit engineering in order to ensure the stability of the surrounding soil and the safety of adjacent structures.
