Settlement of Soft Clay Subgrade Under Coupled Effects of Vibration Frequency and Dynamic Stress Ratio Caused by High-Speed Train Loads

详细

Settlement regularity of soft clay subgrade under cyclic principal stress rotation caused by high-speed train loads is investigated. In laboratory tests, it is found that, with increasing vibration frequency at a fixed dynamic stress ratio, the increase of axial plastic cumulative strain in saturated soil is restricted at mid-high frequencies (0.5-2 Hz), and the changes in pore-water pressure are not evident. Combined with the empirical settlement formula and analysis of the dynamic amplification equation of German standard, a simplified settlement calculation method accounting for resonance is obtained.
