The cyclic shear response of soils is commonly examined using undrained (or constant-volume) laboratory element tests conducted using triaxial and direct simple shear (DSS) devices. The cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) from these tests is expressed in terms of the number of cycles of loading to reach unacceptable performance that is defined in terms of the attainment of a certain excess pore-water pressure and (or) strain level. While strain accumulation is generally commensurate with excess pore-water pressure, the definition of unacceptable performance in laboratory tests based purely on cyclic strain criteria is not robust. The shear stiffness is a more fundamental parameter in describing engineering performance than the excess pore-water pressure alone or shear strain alone; so far, no criterion has considered shear stiffness to determine CRR. Data from cyclic DSS tests indicate consistent differences inherent in the patterns between the stress–strain loops at initial and later stages of cyclic loading; instead of relatively “smooth” stress–strain loops in the initial parts of loading, nonsmooth changes in incremental stiffness showing “kinks” are notable in the stress–strain loops at large strains. The point of pattern change in a stress–strain loop provides a meaningful basis to determine the CRR (based on unacceptable performance) in cyclic shear tests.

The consolidation of the composite ground under non-uniformly distributed initial excess pore water pressure along depth was studied in two models which respectively considering both the radial and vertical flows in granular column and the vertical flow only in granular column, and the corresponding analytical solutions of the two models were presented and compared with each other. It shows that the distribution of initial excess pore water pressure has obvious influence on the consolidation of the composite ground with single drainage boundary, and the rate of consolidation considering the radial-vertical flow in granular column is faster than that considering the vertical flow only in granular column.

The construct to precast pile in thick clayey soil can cause the accumulation of excess pore water pressure. The high excess pore pressure can make soil, buildings and pipes surrounded have large deflection, even make them injured. Combining with actual projects, this paper presents an in-situ model test on the changes of excess pore water pressure caused by precast pile construct. It is found that the radius of influence range for single pile driven is about 15m，the excess pore water pressure can reach or even exceed the above effective soil pressure, and there are two relatively stable stages.

A practical saturated sand elastic-plastic dynamic constitutive model was developed on the base of Handin-Drnevich class nonlinear lag model and multidimensional model. In this model, during the calculation of loading before soil reaches yielding, unloading and inverse loading, corrected Handin-Drnevich equivalent nonlinear model was adopted; after soil yielding, based on the idea of multidimensional model, the composite hardening law which combines isotropy hardening and follow-up hardening, corrected Mohr-Coulomb yielding criterion and correlation flow principle were adopted. A fully coupled three dimension effective stress dynamic analysis procedure was developed on the base of this model. The seismic response of liquefaction foundation reinforced by stone columns was analyzed by the developed procedure. The research shows that with the diameter of stone columns increasing, the excess pore water pressure in soil between piles decreases; with the spacing of columns increasing, the excess pore water pressure increases. The influence of both is major in middle and lower level of composite foundation.

The problem of the proposed “Baghdad metro line” which consists of two routes of 32 km long and 36 stations is analyzed. The tunnel is circular in cross-section with a 5.9 m outer diameter. The finite element analyses were carried out using elastic-plastic and modified Cam clay models for the soil. The excavation has been used together with transient effects through a fully coupled Biot formulation. All these models and the excavation technique together with Biot consolidation are implemented into finite-element computer program named “Modf-CRISP” developed for the purpose of these analyses. The results indicate that there is an inward movement at the crown and this movement is restricted to four and half tunnel diameters. A limited movement can be noticed at spring line which reaches 0.05% of tunnel diameter, while there is a heave at the region below the invert, which reaches its maximum value of about 0.14% of the diameter and is also restricted to a region extending to 1.5 diameters. The effect of using reduced zone on excess pore water pressure and surface settlement (vertical and horizontal) was also considered and it was found that the excess pore water pressure increases while the settlement trough becomes deeper and narrower using reduced .

All the time, security control method of loading is an important research part in the surcharge preloading, which is directly related to safety of the construction process. Starting from the stress path, discussing the variation of excess pore water pressure and relationship between stress path and security, and bringing forward the control method with a safety factor Fs based on the stress path. By measuring the change of excess pore water pressure, the control method with a safety factor Fs can reflect quantitatively the security status of soil and achieve the purpose of the process control, finally the security control method including the safety factor of loading and speed control is put forward to monitor construction safety. The safety factor of loading Fs is verified and back analyzed with the finite-element software, getting the correction factor from 0.90 to 1.20.
