Unconfined compressive creep strengths and strains were measured for remolded saturated frozen Hanover silt and Suffield clay. The creep tests were conducted at the approximate stress levels of 60, 35, 20 and 5% of the conventional unconfined compressive strength. Testing temperatures were 15, 25, 2...
