Experimental Study on the Dynamic Characteristic of Soft Soil under Cyclic Loads

Abstract

To study the change law of the dynamic characteristics of soft soil, particularly the inadequate bearing capacity of highway and railway roadbeds induced by traffic loads, the soft soil in Yingkou area was taken as the research object. A series of dynamic strength and dynamic modulus tests were performed under different dynamic stress amplitude amplitudes, consolidation ratios, confining pressures, dynamic stress amplitudes, consolidation confining pressures, consolidation ratios, vibration frequencies, soft soil dynamic strains, dynamic strengths, dynamic backbone curves, dynamic moduli, and dynamic damping ratios. The results show that (1) Yingkou soft soil has a significant structural property. A strain turning point was found in the
