Quick shear tests were performed on the undisturbed and remolded clay of a subway station foundation-pit in Hefei under 5 over consolidation ratio (OCR) states. The change regulations of the shear behavior, shear strength and strength indexes (cohesion c and internal friction angle φ) of the above soils under different OCR were investigated. The results show that: under different OCR, the undisturbed clay mostly shows strain hardening performance, and the remolded clay mostly shows strain softening performance at over-consolidation state and strain-hardening performance at under-consolidation state. With the same vertical stress, the peak shear strength of remolded clay would increase with the increase of OCR. Under the same OCR, the peak shear strength of remolded clay would increase with the increase of vertical stress. With the same pre-consolidation stress pc and OCR, the peak shear strength of the undisturbed clay was larger than that of the remolded clay. For the remolded clay, when solving shear strength indexes is according to the same OCR samples, with the OCR increase, the value of c will decrease and the value of φ will increase. For the remolded clay, when solving shear strength indexes is according to the same pc samples, with the pc increase, the value of c will increase at first but decrease later, and the value of φ will increase. The undisturbed clay shear strength failure curves show significant bending performance at pc.
