Creep Property of Reticulate Red Clay under Stepped-Load Creep Tests

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stepped-load creep tests of undisturbed and remodeled specimens of reticulate red clay was performed in the present study. Test results and analyses of the results show that: (1) Both undisturbed and remodeled specimens showed significant creep deformation in primary loading, unloading and reloading stage, and the creep deformation of remodeled specimen is much bigger than that of undisturbed one in primary loading and reloading stage; (2) The effect of a previous loading stage on the deformation induced at a succeeding stage is significant in primary loading and reloading stage; (3) The amount of the creep deformation can be calculated accurately by an empirical formula.
