Effect of pore structure response on compressibility characteristics of a preloaded soft clayey soil under dry-wet cycles
ABSTRACT The stabilization of soft ground is essential before construction, with preloading being a widely used mechanical method. This study investigates the combined effects of preloading and cyclic drying–wetting (D–W) on the pore structure and compression behaviour of soft clay. Remoulded specimens (0 kPa) and spec...
