Abstract:

In order to consider the slaking deformation of the clayey soil of a freeway subgrade caused by wetting, a lot of laboratory tests of clayey samples were tested. For the purpose of finding out laws of wetting deformation of clayey soil along an approximate actual stress path. A series of tests along different stress paths were carried out in conventional triaxial apparatus, including conventional triaxial test stress path; conventional triaxial test+K0 consolidation stress path; "K0 consolidation + conventional triaxial test stress path". And test samples with the plane strain " K0 consolidation + triaxial shear"stress path and plane strain constant stress ratio stress path were tested in true triaxial apparatus. By analyzing the experimental data, a power function is employed, to describe the relations between additional axial strain and stress level. By analyzing the stress-strain curves along different stress paths, some formulas are deduced.

Key words: wetting deformation, stress path, clayey soil, laboratory tests
