Abstract:
Red clay exhibits unique engineering properties and is prone to excessive settlement, uneven settlement, and other forms of damage in roadbeds under traffic loading. To clarify the key influencing factors and evolution laws of settlement and deformation in red clay roadbeds, this study analyzed the undrained cyclic cumulative deformation behavior of saturated red clay through dynamic triaxial tests. The results showed that the cumulative deformation of red clay decreases with increasing compaction degree and decreasing cyclic stress ratio (CSR). When the CSR increases from 0.2 to 0.4, the difference in cumulative deformation between red clay with compaction degrees of 90% and 98% increases by a factor of 25. Specifically, by reducing the CSR during compaction, the cumulative deformation of red clay subgrades can be effectively controlled. Based on the defined relative cyclic stress ratio parameter, this study constructed a critical cyclic stress ratio prediction model and a cumulative deformation prediction model, which enable the prediction of undrained cumulative deformation of saturated red clay under any number of loading cycles. This work can provide theoretical guidance for compaction control and settlement prevention techniques for red clay, thereby effectively improving the stability and durability of roadbeds.
