Demanding a thorough knowledge of material behaviour and numerical modelling, site
characterisation and in situ test interpretation are no longer just basic empirical …

On présente un modèle anisotrope élasto-plastique pour les argiles molles. Des données
expérimentales de cheminements de contraintes d'essais triaxiaux drainés multistage sur …

A simple constitutive model for structured clays is presented. The model is based on an
existing constitutive model for reconstituted clays. It uses a fixed relationship between …

This paper investigates the influence of anisotropy and destructuration on the behavior of a
test embankment on soft clay. The test embankment at Murro, Finland, was commissioned in …

Natural soils usually exhibit microstructure effects that significantly influence their
engineering properties; however, existing hypoplastic constitutive models rarely consider …

Reports on the serviceability stage and long-term performance of embedded retaining
structures are scarce, even more so in areas with background settlements. This paper …

Two model soils, one made from sand with plastic fines and one made from sand with non-
plastic fines, were tested in a triaxial apparatus to examine the basic mechanics 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 …

The aim of the paper is to extend the experimental validation of the S-CLAY1 model, which
is a recently proposed elastoplastic constitutive model that accounts for initial and plastic …

In this paper, the 't–z method'is employed to describe the nonlinear behaviour of a single
pile and is used to obtain simplified predictions of pile group behaviour by considering the …
