However , it is shown that the secondary compression is obviously influenced by load
2.
For the purpose of finishing secondary compression deformation of soft clay early , too large opr was not necessary
3.
It was found that longer surcharge preloading duration could make the total magnitude of deformation of soft clay larger , and the more surcharge preloading duration and the larger opr , the less magnitude of secondary compression deformation of soft clay after unloading was , compared with that under permanent pressure loading
4.
Based on the new model , the influences caused by soil structure , apparent preconsolidation pressure , the re - compression index , the coefficient of secondary compression , the magnitude of loading , the coefficient of permeability , the rate of loading , the thickness of clay , the self - weight , the layered property etc , in the process consolidation of soil with structure , are analyzed in detail . the difference between the present model and yin & graham model was also given
