Abstract
Cyclic loading-induced consolidation behavior of soft soil is of great interest for the analysis of offshore and onshore structures. In this study, an analytical solution for one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear consolidation of saturated double-layered soil under various types of cyclic loadings such as trapezoidal cyclic loading, rectangular cyclic loading, and triangular cyclic loading was derived. The proposed solution was subsequently degenerated into solutions for special cases and compared to the existing solutions. The degenerate solutions show good agreement with the existing results, which proves that the proposed solutions are more general ones for 1D nonlinear consolidation of saturated soils under time-dependent loading. Finally, a comprehensive parametric study was conducted to investigate the influences of different layer parameters, drainage conditions, and loading parameters on nonlinear consolidation of saturated double-layered soil under cyclic loadings.
