THE RHEOLOGY OF SUBSIDENCE AND SWELLING SOILS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985

The paper gives the results of the experimental studies made to establish the regularities of the rheology of loess subsidence and swelling clayey soils. It shows that despite the substantial variation in the nature of deformability of these soils, when moistened, the time-related variation in their stressed-strained state obeys Boltzmann-Volterr's theory of linear hereditary creep. The paper suggests an equation of the deflection of the beam-type foundation resting on subsidence and swelling soils, written with due regard for the rheological peculiarities of their deformability. A simple procedure proposed for the experimental studies of long-term compression and softening of swelling soils makes it possible to establish the regularities of their creep.
