Vibration creep of loess soils
Abstract
Abstract Taking into account the rheological properties (creep) of clay soils when solving problems of soil mechanics is important, because many inaccuracies in forecasts related to soils arise from an under-accounting of these properties, which are characteristic of clay soils. The report deals with the issues of vibration creep of moisten loess soils, related to the precipitation of structures and the permissible load on the soil. The method of experimental research and the results of experiments on the dependence of the coefficient of soil vibration creep on the acceleration of vibrations are presented. The factors influencing the vibration creeping deformations of the forest, including the role of soil adhesion and the duration of shaking, are established. Research results are of great importance in the practice of constructing unique engineering structures in seismic areas.
