Abstract

Landslides result from weak surfaces with varying rock-soil properties, posing a significant concern for engineering and accurate deformation analysis. This study investigated the macroscopic physical and mechanical properties of paleo clay specimens during triaxial compression testing, aiming to elucidate the deformation mechanisms exhibited by these specimens under varying loading directions at both the loading and unloading ends, and numerical simulation methods were carried out to simulate actual engineering scenarios. The analysis encompasses deformation patterns, stress–strain relationships, Mohr stress circles, and numerical simulation failure cloud diagrams for soil samples under different loading directions. The results showed that the loading end of heterogeneous specimens exhibited noticeable deformations. Alteration of the loading direction induced variations in the failure mode. The position and size of the deformations for the only iron-manganese clay, loading end iron-manganese clay, and loading end reticulated clay samples changed with the clay layer at the loading end of the sample. Moreover, the stress–strain curves under different loading directions were different, with strain hardening and strain softening appearing in the two loading directions, respectively. The results of this study contribute to an in-depth understanding of the impact of the loading direction on the deformation and strength of paleo clay, thereby providing a foundation for landslide prevention and control measures.
