Evaluation of the viscous behaviour of clay using generalised overstress viscoplastic theory

Abstract: In this paper, generalised elastic-viscoplastic (EVP) theory combined with a power law is used to derive simplified equations relating undrained shear strength and preconsolidation pressure to strain rate. An additional equation is derived relating the strain-rate parameter in EVP theory to the secondary compression index. The derived equations are used to evaluate the rate-sensitive and drained creep response of 20 clays reported in the literature. The evaluation shows strong evidence that the rate-sensitivit… Show more

“…1(a)], and it is assumed that no rate-dependent behavior occurs when the stresses are within the surface. This basically means that there is a threshold value of effective stresses that needs to be exceeded before rate-dependent behavior starts, as discussed by Qu et al (2010). In contrast, in the ACM model, the boundary between the large irrecoverable strains and the relatively small strains is called normal consolidation surface (NCS) [see Fig.…”

“…In fact, in the past decades, time-dependency of the deformation property of saturated clay was widely reported in literatures (Leroueil et al, 1985;Crawford, 1986;Leroueil & Marques, 1996;Tatsuoka et al, 2002;Kim & Leroueil, 2001;Den Haan & Kamao, 2003;Imai et al, 2005;Tanaka et al, 2006;Watabe et al, 2008;Qu et al, 2010;Degago et al, 2011;Ye et al, 2014.

“…Figure 5 shows the effect of strain rate on the apparent preconsolidation 192 pressure for Saint Alban clay (Leroueil et al 1988). The strain rate exponent (n) was established 193 from the reciprocal of slope of log ( p V c ) -log ( a H ) relationship (Qu et al 2010 subjected to any strain rates faster than the threshold limit, the strain rate effect will be 199 mobilized. However, for Saint Alban clay, the foundation soil still exhibits the effect of strain 200 rate-sensitivity even at strain rates as low as The structure parameter ( o Z ) can be estimated from either (i) peak versus remolded 206 undrained shear strength or (ii) from intrinsic versus structured preconsolidation pressure (Qu 207 2008).…”
