Study on Monotonic Shear Characteristics of Soft Clay in Transmission Line Foundation
A series of strain controlled monotonic simple shear tests were carried out on undisturbed soft clay in transmission line foundation,and the effects of different initial consolidation pressures on the shear strength of the soft clay were studied.The results show that the shear strength of undisturbed soil increases with the increase of initial consolidation pressure,and the soft clay has a certain structure.The peak pore water pressure increases with the increase of initial consolidation pressure.The failure envelope of Wenzhou undisturbed soil is found,and the effective stress path under different initial consolidation pressures moves towards the failure envelope.
