Hypoplasticity is an incrementally nonlinear constitutive theory of granular materials. It is
able to describe dissipative behaviour, plastic flow and nonlinear effects within the yield …

This one-of-a-kind reference evaluates the efficacy, stability, and strength of various soil
walls, slopes, and structures enhanced by geosynthetic materials. Offering stimulating …

Cet article présente un nouveau modèle de comportement tridimensionnel élastique visco-
plastique (3D EVP) pour étudier le comportement contrainte déformation en fonction du …

Soft clay forms a big proportion of the seabed ground. In a marine environment, waves,
wind, and earthquakes, often known as cyclic loads, are a main contributor to the loading of …

Different classes of constitutive models have been developed to capture the time-dependent
viscous phenomena (creep, stress relaxation, and rate effects) observed in soils. Models …

Gravelly soils are used extensively for a wide range of engineering applications. One
example is railway ballast, and another is the fill for rock-filled dams. These soils are usually …

The initial stresses existing in the natural ground are anisotropic in the sense that the vertical
stress is typically larger than the lateral stresses. The construction activities, such as …

An elasto-plastic model based on critical state soil mechanics and generalised plasticity was
modified to capture the three-dimensional (3D) behaviour of soil–structure interfaces. The …

A new three-dimensional (3D) elastoviscoplastic (EVP) constitutive model for both normally
consolidated and overconsolidated clays is presented. In developing the new model, first the …

The research and development programme on geological disposal for high-level and long-
lived waste (HLW) in Belgium was initiated in 1974. A deep tertiary clay formation, the Boom …
