  • The behaviors of one-dimensional relaxation have been studied by many researchers. However, the method for deducing the stress relax formulas is usually complicated. Two simple stress relaxation formulas in single-logarithmic form and double-logarithmic form are derived, which are based on the Buisman secondary compression equation and the concept of the equal-time compression line proposed by Bjerrum. The relationships between the slopes of these two types of stress relaxation formulas and the parameter ca/cc are proposed, here ca is the secondary compression index and cc is the compression index. One-dimensional secondary compression and the stress relaxation tests using Shanghai clay are conducted. The reliability of the stress relaxation formulas is verified. Moreover, the one-dimensional stress relaxing rate of general cohesive soils is estimated according to the values of ca/cc proposed by Mesri and Godlewski.
