It is well known that many landslides, which occur every year in the world, are triggered by
rainfall. The mechanics of slope movements due to pore pressure changes are not …

This work analyses the ability of the Singh-Mitchell and Taylor creep laws associated with a
Modified Cam Clay model to predict the creep behaviour of a soft soil subjected to …

The studies in this thesis have focused on two interrelated areas:(1) experimental
investigation on strain-rate effects, creep behaviour and stress relaxation of remoulded …

The behaviours of gravelly soils under monotonic, cyclic and creep loading are generally
simulated in separated processes with different models, which cannot describe the …

This paper compares the behavior of an embankment with nonsymmetric geometry built on
soft soil with that predicted numerically using four elastoplastic soil models. Two of these …

This paper examines the ability of volumetric and deviatoric creep laws associated with
constitutive models to simulate the creep behaviour of a soft soil in its natural state or …

To investigate the creep characteristics of soft clay under true triaxial stress conditions,
multistage loading creep tests using TSW-40 true triaxial apparatus were performed. The …

Tar Island Dyke is a 92 m tailing dyke for retaining oil sand tailings and has been operated
by Suncor in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Construction of the dyke began in the mid-1960's …

L'exploitation d'une mine à ciel ouvert génère d'importantes quantités de rejets miniers,
essentiellement sous la forme de roches stériles et de résidus miniers. Ceux-ci sont …

This work studies the effect of the curing time on the creep behaviour of a stabilised soft soil,
using volumetric and deviatoric creep laws associated with constitutive models. Results of …
