Microstructural Variation of Clay during Land Subsidence and the Correlation between Macroscopic and Microscopic Parameters.

The preconsolidation pressure shows an increasing trend with the increase of depth, and it was judged to be under-consolidated soil based on the corresponding self-weight stress.

The results show that: (1) the microstructural characteristics of soils with different buried depths have directivity, to a certain extent; (2) as the consolidation load increases, the average unit area and average form factor of the soil microstructure generally decrease, the structural arrangement of the unit gradually tends to be orderly, and the average pore area, apparent void ratio and the number of pores generally show a decreasing trend; (3) under the action of a consolidation load, when the microstructure at a relatively large scale is basically stable, the microstructure at a smaller scale will continue to adjust; (4) the apparent void ratio has a good linear regression relationship with the conventional void ratio, and the apparent void ratio has a good exponential growth relationship with the compressibility.
