Effects of Clay Mineral Composition on the Dynamic Properties and Fabric of Artificial Marine Clay

Marine clays are easily affected by different mineral composition in cyclic load-based geological hazards. Therefore, based on analyzing the mineral composition of natural marine clay, it is the key to predict the dynamic properties of natural materials under cyclic loading by using quantitated arti...
