Abstract: Based upon geologic background of solum evolvement, aimed to strong structural soft clay strata Zhanjiang Formation lower Pleistocene series the Quaternary system in Zhanjiang area, the research on soil properties, which combines macroscopical mechanics test and microanalysis, has been made, so as to disclose internal relations between occurrence and strong structural characteristic of soft clay in this area. It is shown that Zhanjiang Formation is the deltaic-facies strata controlled by river(interactive marine & continental sedimentation); and its special sedimentation characteristic result from multi-geologic-agent coupling action with strong tectonic movement working on. Fundamentally, agglutination among particles result in the characteristic strong structural strength of this soft clay, and its pedogenic mechanism is extraordinarily similar to that of indigenous laterite.

Key words: structural characteristic, soft clay, occurrence, engineering properties
