Stiffness characteristics of very soft clay sediments of the Italian Adriatic continental shelf are presented. A simple shear device capable of investigating cyclic properties of soils in a wide range of shear strains was employed for the experimental study. The dependence of small-strain and secant shear moduli on a number of factors such as strain amplitude, vertical consolidation stress, stress history and loading cycles is analyzed and discussed.

Abstract

Stiffness characteristics of very soft clay sediments of the Italian Adriatic continental shelf are presented. A simple shear device capable of investigating cyclic properties of soils in a wide range of shear strains was employed for the experimental study. The dependence of small-strain and secant shear moduli on a number of factors such as strain amplitude, vertical consolidation stress, stress history and loading cycles is analyzed and discussed.
