A Study on the Creep Characteristics of Airport Viscous Subsoil Based on Unsaturated Stress Level by Jun Feng, Yue Ma, Zaobao Liu

“…The following conclusions could be drawn: (1) under different stress levels, the one-dimensional creep deformation of unsaturated soil has a power function relationship with time, and the change rate exponentially decreases with the stress level, which can be well-expressed by the proposed modified one-dimensional Mesri creep model; (2) under different stress levels, the three-dimensional creep strain of the unsaturated soil shows a hyperbolic curve with time and a near-linear relationship at the semilogarithmic coordinate, which can be well-expressed by the proposed modified three-dimensional creep model; (3) under different stress levels, both the one-dimensional creep and three-dimensional creep of the unsaturated soil can be divided into two stages, which are the accelerated creep stage and stable creep stage.…”
