Soils can rarely be described as ideally elastic or perfectly plastic and yet simple elastic and
plastic models form the basis for the most traditional geotechnical engineering calculations …

Initial chapters describe basic theories of continuum mechanics, critical state soil mechanics
and finite element techniques. Most of the book is devoted to the description of an 8000 line …

Finite element cavity expansion analysis investigating the effect of penetration rate on
piezocone tests in clay is presented. A coupled analysis was performed, in which the rate of …

A compilation of practical knowledge and new technologies, this book discusses all phases
of design and construction processes, from the first investigation step to the monitoring of …

Centrifuge tests were conducted to study the behaviour of embankments on soft clay
foundations prepared with an overconsolidated crust over normally consolidated kaolin clay …

This book contains technical papers, presented in a discussion session at the XI
International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering held in San …

Geotechnical behaviour of a reinforced embankment on soft ground is studied by a
numerical model based on the finite element method. Special emphasis is given to the …

This article presents a model preparation methodology for simulating the seismic behavior of
a gentle slope in clay with the presence of a soft, weak layer employing centrifuge testing …

Britto (1984) presented a finite element formulation to analyse the coupled heat transfer–
consolidation problem for a saturated fine-grained elastic soil. The formulation was validated …

The behaviour of reinforced embankments on soft clay has been explored using the
technique of centrifuge modelling. Controlled in-flight embankment construction was carried …
