Abstract

Objective: To explore the mechanical properties of weak expansive soil under different moisture contents and confining pressures. Methods: The triaxial remolded soil samples with different moisture contents (14%, 16%, 18%, and 20%) were prepared for the obtained Nanyang weak expansive soil. Four groups of 16 consolidated drained triaxial shear tests with a confining pressure of 50, 100, 200, and 300 kPa were carried out to study the effects of confining pressure and water content on the deviatoric stress and pore pressure of weak expansive soil with strain. Results: The study showed that the shear strength of weak expansive soil samples gradually increased with the increase of the water content, but its increase nonlinearly decreased as the confining pressure increased. When the axial strain was small, the pore pressure significantly increased, and the pore pressure increased tended to be stable slowly and gradually as the axial strain gradually increased. Therefore, the research results could be used to avoid the diseases caused by the characteristics of weak expansive soil in engineering construction and provide theoretical references for improving engineering foundations in weak expansive soil areas.
