In the test, after anisotropic consolidation, keeping the deviator stress, pore water is injected using pore water control apparatus under a constant volumetric strain controlled condition.

The relationship between shear strain and time of Yingkou soft soil is obtained under a series of different cell pressures and different deviator stresses.

Unfortunately, previous work rarely incorporated the effect of initial deviator stress on cyclic degradation behavior and dynamic stress-strain relationship of soft clay.
