- Abstract
This paper carried out an experimental study on the compressive property of Luojiashan Clay at Wuhan University. In order to investigate the influence of compaction degree, compaction water content and saturation state of compacted soil on the compressive property of clayey fill, compression tests were done on the samples compacted to different water content around optimum moisture content by different degrees of compaction. The theory of compacted soil structure was used to explain mechanism of the influence, and it was the change of soil structure that caused the variation of compresSive property. The results of the tests show that it was at agiven range of stress that degree of compaction and compaction water content have influence on the compressive prop- erty of clayey fill. Around optimum moisture content with degree of compaction decreasing or compaction water content increasing, the compressive deformation of clayey fill increased. When compacted fill was saturated by water soaking, the compressive deformation increased much, and the clayey fill compacted at greater water con- tent than optimum moisture content showed smaller compressive deformation caused by saturation at other conditions the same.
