Movements and failure of cuts and natural slopes constitute an important geotechnical
problem that involves a variety of geomaterials in a variety of geological and climatic …

The stiffness of soil at very small strain G o is a useful parameter for characterizing the non-
linear stress–strain behaviour of soil for monotonic loading and it is required for analyses of …

Ideal for undergraduates of geotechnical engineering for civil engineers, this established
textbook sets out the basic theories of soil mechanics in a clear and straightforward way; …

Seismic piezocone penetration tests (SCPTu) with dissipation phases are particularly useful
for geotechnical site characterization as they provide four independent readings with depth …

The paper proposes a constitutive model for structured soils (MSS) which describes the
engineering effects of structure development and degradation, such as: high intact stiffness …

The Paper describes the yielding characteristics of Bothkennar clay, as shown by stress-
path triaxial tests. Computer-controlled equipment and high resolution instrumentation were …

The Paper attempts to describe soil stress-strain behaviour by defining, in normalised stress-
space, an outer Bounding Surface and three characteristic Zones which sub-divide the …

The use of the finite-element method to analyse tunnels is becoming more widespread, but
any prediction is dependent (among other things) on the model adopted for the pre-failure …

Significant additional loads could be induced in pile foundations adjacent to new tunnels.
Accurate prediction of magnitude and shape of the ground displacements, which define …

An investigation of natural London Clay is reported involving advanced triaxial, hollow
cylinder apparatus (HCA) and dynamic testing techniques. Significant anisotropy was …
