Abstract

Clayey soils exhibit a very pronounced time-dependent behaviour owing to their viscous properties. To analyse and to quantify these properties, two rounds of tests have been performed on a compacted clay. The first round, consisting of constant-strain-rate compression, stress relaxation and creep, shows that viscous properties are not influenced by different levels of stress and strain. Moreover, the influence of the loading frequency on the viscoelastic modulus is evidenced by the cyclic tests performed at very small strain amplitudes. The results of the second round, consisting of creep and stress-relaxation tests performed at different levels of stress and strain in triaxial loading–unloading–reloading phases and analysed by way of the viscoplastic mechanism terms from Perzyna's over-stress theory, show the existence of a primary yield mechanism activated at the maximum loading point. A kinematic mechanism becomes activated during the unloading and reloading phases, controlling from this moment on the viscoplastic behaviour within the primary yield locus.
