AbstractIn this paper results from laboratory tests on London Clay and artificially cemented kaolin are presented and used to develop a preliminary framework for the time-dependent behaviour of soils, applicable to stiff clays and other soils. In the same way that the natural structure of clays has been shown to influence their monotonic behaviour, it is shown that it can also alter their response to changes in strain rate. The relative influence of the two main components of post-sedimentation structure - over-consolidation and diagenesis - on the time-dependent behaviour of London Clay was investigated in triaxial compression tests. The study was carried out in two steps, comparing first the behaviours of normally and overconsolidated reconstituted samples of London Clay subjected to stepwise changes in strain rate, and then the behaviours of overconsolidated reconstituted and undisturbed London Clay samples. The test results show that overconsolidation does not seem to affect the response of reconstituted London Clay to strain rate changes, which is consistent with published data on other stiff clays. However, intact and reconstituted overconsolidated samples show different behaviours, highlighting that it is the elements of structure resulting from diagenesis that influence the time-dependent behaviour of London Clay. Effects of cementing on strain rate sensitivity were investigated in triaxial compression of artificially cemented kaolin. The results obtained were different from the results for London Clay, suggesting that the difference in strain rate effects in the intact and reconstituted London Clay cannot be simply associated with cementing. A preliminary framework is proposed, where the time-dependent behaviour of soil depends on its participate or continuum nature.
