To explore the loading rate dependency of the Gypsum Mixed Clay (GMC), a series of uniaxial monotonic loading tests were conducted at several strain rates. Significant effects of the strain rates on the failure strength and stiffness of the specimens were observed in the present study. In addition, to investigate the curing time/ageing effects on the failure strength, uniaxial monotonic loading tests were conducted on the GMC specimens with different curing periods. A significant reduction of failure strength was witnessed between the first 14 days of curing time, but the effects of ageing were found to be insignificant after 14 days.
