Fondations. Tunnels Résumé : The postcyclic reconsolidation response of low-plastic Fraser River silt was examined using laboratory direct simple shear testing. Specimens of undisturbed and reconstituted natural low-plastic Fraser River silt and reconstituted quartz powder, initially subjected to constant-volume cyclic loading under different cyclic stress ratios (CSRs) and then reconsolidated to their initial effective stresses (sigmavo[prime]), were specifically investigated. The volumetric strains during postcyclic reconsolidation (epsilonv-ps) were noted to generally increase with the maximum cyclic excess pore-water pressure (Deltaumax) and maximum cyclic shear strain experienced by the specimens during cyclic loading. The values of epsilonv-ps and maximum cyclic excess pore-water pressure ratio (ru-max) were observed to form a coherent relationship regardless of overconsolidation effects, particle fabric, and initial (precyclic) void ratio of the soil. The specimens with high ru-max suffered significantly higher postcyclic reconsolidation strains; epsilonv-ps ranging between 1.5 and 5% were noted when ru-max>0.8. The observed epsilonv-ps versus ru-max relationship, when used in combination with the observed dependence of cyclic excess pore-water pressure on CSR and number of load cycles, seems to provide a reasonable approach to estimate postcyclic reconsolidation strains of low-plastic silt.
