Abstract：Based on the study on reconsolidation properties of saturated soft clay under impact loading before，the problems are furthermore studied，such as the residual deformation，residual pore pressure and reconsolidation characteristics of overconsolidated clay，and the reconsolidation deformation of normally consolidated saturated soft clay under deviated state of stress. The effect of plasticity index of soil on the coefficient of reconsolidation volume compressibility is analyzed. The relationship between residual pore water pressure and residual strain and its mechanism，and the disturbance consolidation problem are also discussed. Besides，the calculation methods of both the settlement and the shear strength of soft clay foundation under deviated stress state are suggested.
