description Despite reports on previous research associated with the dynamic strength of mudded intercalations during cyclic loading, a systematic investigation of the impact factors of this strength is still valuable. This work aimed at experimentally revealing the impact factors of the strength along with their impacts. The potential impact factors considered in this work include (i) water content, (ii) clay mineral composition, (iii) clay content, (iv) confining pressure, and (v) cyclic failure time. Specimens of mudded intercalations were collected from China and were remolded and prepared for a dynamic triaxial test under cyclic loads. The test results showed that the dynamic strength is impacted by water content (strongly), clay mineral composition (moderately), confining pressure (moderately), and cyclic failure time (weakly); no significant impact of clay content was detected. Moreover, the dynamic cohesion is correlated with clay mineral composition (strongly), water content (moderately), and cyclic failure time (weakly); no significant correlation with clay content or confining pressure was detected. Finally, the dynamic friction angle is correlated with water content (strongly), clay content (moderately), and cyclic failure time (weakly); no significant correlation with clay mineral composition or confining pressure was detected.
