AB  - The work reported in this paper is about the behaviour of clay under cyclic triaxial loading. 102 mm high x102 mm diameter samples of remoulded undrained Cowden clay were used. In order to achieve accurate pore water pressure measurements and to gain some understanding in terms of effective stress of the fundamental behaviour of the saturated clay under cyclic loading, slow reversed load controlled cyclic tests were performed. In order to investigate the effects of undrained cyclic loading on the undrained shear strength, the cyclically loaded samples were subjected to post-cyclic monotonic loading. This investigation also examines the effects of the mean total stress variation on the clay’s behaviour.
