[HTML][HTML] Prediction of retrogressive landslide in sensitive clays by incorporating a novel strain softening law into the Material Point Method

ZA Urmi, A Yerro, A Saeidi, RVP Chavali - Engineering Geology, 2024 - Elsevier
Sensitive clays, when subjected to large strains, exhibit a unique strain-softening behavior,
transforming into a remolded liquid with remarkably low shear strength. When a slope fails …

Prediction of post-peak stress-strain behavior for sensitive clays

ZA Urmi, A Saeidi, A Yerro, RVP Chavali - Engineering Geology, 2023 - Elsevier
Unlike typical soils, sensitive clays undergo extensive post-peak strength degradation with
increasing strain and finally disintegrate into a remolded liquid state. Realization of post …

Implementation of a New Strain Softening Constitutive Model in the Material Point Method for the Simulation of Retrogressive Failure in Sensitive Clays

ZA Urmi, A Saeidi, A Yerro, RVP Chavalli - Geo-Congress 2024 - ascelibrary.org
Sensitive clays experience significant strain-softening behavior, that is, when subjected to
large strains. They disintegrate into a remolded liquid with diminutive shear strength. When …
