In order to study the creep characteristics of soft clay in the area of Hangzhou-Ningbo high-speed railway, the triaxial undrained consolidation shear creep test was carried out under different confining pressure by using improved triaxial creep tester.The experiment indicates that the marine clay creep's nonlinear feature is remarkable, which is revealed gradually with increase in stress; the yield stress of soft soil is different under different confining pressures, when the stress level is lower than the yield stress, the creep characterist...
