Study of Structural and Compression Properties of Soft Soils in Kunming at Different Moisture Contents

The structure of soil refers to the properties and arrangement particles pores, as well their interactions, which have a significant impact on mechanical behavior soil. Clarifying strengths weaknesses can effectively ensure engineering safety during designing. In this study, structural soft in Wujiaba area Kunming City was studied. A comprehensive parameter γ proposed by analyzing one-dimensional consolidation test data, consider both moisture content yield stress. Due its high lacustrine features, possessed obvious characteristics. As increased, characteristics gradually weakened, making it more prone compression failure. Moreover, initial pressure decreased with increase content. And susceptible deformation failure higher conclusions drawn from study important implications for predicting settlement layered foundations.
