An Experimental Study with Model Calibration for the Permanent Strain of Granite Residual Soil Subgrade under Drying-Wetting Cycles by Xuefei Yang, Dongxia Chen, Yue Liu, Sheng Zhang

“…Subsequently, a new criterion to characterize the permanent strain of GRS is deduced from the experimental results, which accounts for both strains and rates of strains. This criterion illustrates that with the increase of D-W cycles number, the permanent strain evaluation pattern of GRS is gradually changing from plastic stabilization to plastic creep. …”
