The preconsolidation pressure is an important index to determine the stress history of soil and also a major calculation parameter for the analysis of soil stratum’s deformation in the different stress history. Casagrade method is worldwide applied to determine the preconsolidation pressure. On the basis of research on consolidation test about the lakeside new district soft clay of Hefei by high pressure consolidation apparatus, and conformed to Casagrande method, the paper adopts quartic polynomial and least square method to fit the compression curve, and the preconsolidation pressure of the lakeside new distract soft clay of Hefei is determined by matlab software. The result provides reference for the calculation of foundation settlement considering stress history.

The OMNI-Max anchors, which are used as foundations for mooring deep-water offshore facilities, are raised recent years for their dynamically installation. ANSYS CFX 17.0 is a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) program, capable of simulating the dynamically installation process of the OMNI-Max anchor. In the simulation, soft clay with linearly increasing shear strength is modeled as Eulerian fluid material. The clay is subjected to high shear strain rate during the dynamical installation procedure, hence the H-B model is proposed as it is applicable to a wide range of shear strain rate. Different anchor impact velocity levels are modeled to investigate their effects on the anchor final penetration depths. To improve the anchor impact velocity and final penetration depth, a booster, which is retrievable and renewable, is attached to the tail of the anchor. The results demonstrate that the anchor would achieve deeper penetration depth with the increase in impact velocity. Also the anchor with a booster could reach a deeper penetration depth than that of the single anchor owing to the increase of the anchor total energy.

To analyze the effects of strain rate and viscoplastic strain on consolidation of natural clay, this paper presents a nonlinear viscoplastic model in which viscoplastic behaviour is modeled by a unique effective stress (σ'v) – viscous strain (εv) – viscous strain rate (ε·v) relationship. The proposed model can consider the effects of strain rate and viscoplastic strain on consolidation, to take into account the difference in strain rate between laboratory and field conditions, and the combined processes of generation and dissipation of pore pressure during consolidation. This model can also predict the behaviour of clay during stepwise loading, constant rate of strain, and relaxation of effective stress. The predicted values using numerical analysis are compared with measured values in laboratory tests and in situ, under an embankment built on soft clay at Berthierville, Quebec. It is possible to estimate the consolidation behaviour of natural clay with reasonable accuracy using the proposed nonlinear viscoplastic model.Key words: consolidation, soft clay, strain rate, viscoplastic, relaxation.

The constant rate of strain (CRS) oedometer test, using an imposed vertical strain rate [Formula: see text] equal to 10 times the end-of-primary (EOP) vertical strain rate [Formula: see text], requiring a test duration of about 2 days produces reliable information on both the e versus log[Formula: see text] relation and e versus logkv relation of soft clays and fibrous peats. An empirical correction for the strain rate effect on preconsolidation pressure leads to the EOP e versus log[Formula: see text] relation and EOP [Formula: see text]. The imposed vertical strain rate [Formula: see text] produces excess pore-water pressures at the impervious bottom of the specimen, corresponding to [Formula: see text] values in the range of 3%–15% and allows, use of the Darcy flow equation, a reliable calculation of the coefficient of permeability. Compressibility and permeability data are from CRS and incremental loading (IL) oedometer tests on specimen quality designation (SQD) A samples of seven soft clays and two fibrous peats are presented in this paper.
