Long-term traffic loadings will induce strong vibrations in the saturated ground, and it probably produces excessive settlements of saturated ground and even various distresses (such as cracks and leakage) of the tunnel structure. To better understand the long-term cyclic deformation behaviors of saturated clay subjected to cyclic traffic loading, a series of cyclic undrained hollow cylinder apparatus tests were performed on Shanghai saturated clay. The secondary cyclic compression stage of permanent axial strain, energy dissipation, and damping ratio are employed to identify the distinct shakedown ranges of saturated clay. Moreover, attempts are made to establish a link between the permanent deformation behavior invoked by different levels of dynamic stress and a kinematic yielding framework. The cyclic test results of Shanghai clay can be classified as plastic shakedown, plastic creep, and incremental collapse, and Y2 and Y3 yield limits are interpreted as threshold cyclic dynamic stress to divide the shakedown ranges. Additionally, the effective cyclic dynamic stress ratio can better identify the shakedown ranges of saturated clay. Eventually, a criterion is recommended to identify distinct shakedown ranges of saturated clay. The findings will contribute to the safe design of the transport infrastructure in saturated ground.
