The drained triaxial creep tests were carriedout to investigate the relationshipsbetween axial strain and time, axial strain and deviatoricstress, and axial strain rate and time for the undisturbed samples of muddy clay and clay in Tianjin.Based on the creep test results, the Singh-Mitchell modelwas used for creep calculation. The results showed that the muddyclay and clay exhibited typical non-linear creep properties. The axial strain increasedwith time and then gradually tendedto be stable.The strain rate increasedasthe deviatoric stress increased, and the muddy clay and clay showedthe characteristics of attenuation creep under deviatoricstresses. The axial strain of muddy clay wassignificantly larger than that of clay, and reachedthestable state within 3000 minutes.Under low deviatoricstress, the slope of the isochronal curve was smaller; while under high deviatoric stress, the slope of the isochronal curve waslarger.The test results were in good agreement with the calculation results, which indicated that the Singh-Mitchell model wassuitable for describing the creep behaviorsof the undisturbed claysin Tianjin.
