This paper has performed a group of undrained unidirectional cyclic loading tests on undisturbed clay samples near planned metro line of Hangzhou. To simulate subway load
this paper has considered the characteristic that the trains always leave at intervals
so cyclic load is designed to consider regular intervals. Under cyclic loading with different amplitudes
dynamic loading durations and intervals durations
excess pore water pressure accumulations are observed. In this paper
the critical dynamic amplitude under cyclic loading with intervals is obtained and is found to be similar with that under cyclic loading without intervals. After that
an explicit model to calculate excess pore water pressure is built with an independent variable that describes cumulative dynamic deviator stress level. It is a new stress state parameter that can describe the effect of long-term dynamic loading in a cumulative way.The influence regulation of cumulative dynamic deviator stress level
vibration number and interval duration are presented and the dynamic deviator stress level and vibration number are much more important to excess pore water pressure accumulation than intervals. This explicit model is in the form of hyperbolic function with one major variable and a few constants. When predicting excess pore water pressure under different vibration numbers
these constants are also different but has relation with vibration number.The method to calculate the constants is also presented. In the end of this paper
testing results of several samples are presented to verify this model. Comparing the results predicted by the new model with an existing model with the measured data
