To analyze the consolidation characteristics of reclamation soil for Dalian Jinzhou Bay offshore airport and prevent irregular settlement,consolidation tests on Dalian red clay with different water contents in a saline environment were conducted.The influence of water content on the deformation characteristics of the red clay was analyzed,the re-sults indicate that initial water content is a crucial factor affecting the remolded yield stress.Based on this,the applica-bility of five consolidation models to red clay in a saline environment was verified.The results show that initial water content significantly affects the compression characteristics of remolded clay.Higher initial water content leads to more pronounced changes in the compression curve's slope.While the slopes tend to converge under higher consolidation pressures,the void ratios after compression still vary significantly with different water contents.Existing clay nonlinear compression models are unsuitable for red clay in high water content and saline environments.An empirical formula combining the inherent compression index e100 with Cc and an Iv-lnp compression model considering water content was established,showing good adaptability to these conditions.The findings could provide theoretical guidance and scientif-ic reference for offshore reclamation projects in high water content and saline environments.
