As the economy evolves, there has been an increasing interest in exploring oceanic resources. However, the complex marine environment poses several geological challenges for offshore engineering endeavors. The presence of gassy soil significantly influences the deformation properties and integrity of the soil, significantly impacting offshore engineering construction. Triaxial shear tests and creep tests were conducted on gassy clay with silt content, prepared using the laboratory zeolite method, to analyze its shear deformation characteristics and long-term resilience. We proposed a prediction model for calculating the long-term resilience of silt-containing clay, accounting for confining pressure and gas content, and verified its efficacy through experimentation. Our findings reveal the following: The stress-strain relationship curve of silt-containing gassy clay is a typical strain hardening curve. The greater the confining pressure or the smaller the gas content, the greater the stress under the same strain and the greater the yield stress; when the gas content is the same, the greater the confining pressure, the greater the long-term strength of the soil; and when the confining pressure is the same, the smaller the gas content, the greater the long-term strength of the soil. The research results can provide theoretical reference for actual complex engineering.
