In this study, to explore the feasibility of a compacted red clay as an engineered barrier in landfills, the viscoplastic property of remodeled unsaturated reticulate red clay was studied through a series of triaxial tests. According to the deviatoric stress–axial strain curves obtained through loading tests with varying strain rates and under different conditions, the viscoplastic parameter β of remodeled reticulate red clay was obtained. The effects of different matric suctions and net confining pressures on the viscoplasticity of unsaturated reticulate clay were analyzed. The test results showed that remodeled reticulate red clays with different degrees of saturation have similar viscoplastic properties, and their stress–strain curves are all isotach. The stiffness of unsaturated reticulate red clay increased with increasing confining pressure and matric suction. The relationship between β and the net confining pressure can be described using a linear equation. The β value of the specimens increased with increasing matric suction under a constant net confining pressure. A similar linear relationship was observed between β and the matric suction. These relationships are explained considering the loading rate effect mechanism.

Mechanical properties of cemented reticulate red clay were studied in present research. Test results show that: (1) shear strength of cemented reticulate red clay increase exponentially as the increasing of cement content; (2) shear strength of cemented reticulate red clay decrease polynomially as the increasing of water content; (3) mechanical properties of cemented reticulate red clay affected significantly by curing time and curing confined pressure. In order to study viscous properties of cemented reticulate red clay, cemented reticulate red clay specimens were compressed in triaxial chamber at different shear rate. Results of the compression tests show that it is obvious that the axial strain-deviator stress relationship of cemented reticulate red clay affects by the strain rate.

Torrential or atomized rain is one of the key factors that lead to slope deformation and failure. With rain water infiltration, the pore pressure increases and the matric suction decreases even lose, which lead to the soil shear strength sharply reduced and the slope destabilized. This paper selects the in-situ red clay of the Naji reservoir in Guangxi province as research object and investigates the stress-strain characteristics of undisturbed unsaturated red clay under different matric suction conditions by the triaxial test. The numerical verification of test results is conducted by finite element software ABAQUS, using Duncan-Chang model and Mohr-Coulomb model respectively. Comparing with the Duncan-Chang model, Mohr-Coulomb model can reflect the stress-strain behavior of red clay better. And the slope stability of the project in rainfall condition is analyzed by numerical model, which would offer references for the implementation of the revetment engineering.

Triaxial compression creep tests were performed on the undisturbed specimens of reticulate red clay from Dongting Lake area (China) under different confined stress. By analyzing the laboratory test results, following conclusions were drawn: (1) creep deformation occurred in all compression tests; (2) creep deformation increases as the increasing of the creep stress (compress stress) slightly; (3) the creep deformation occurred in the triaxial compression creep tests can be well simulated with Singh-Mitchell model.
