Abstract: A total stress‐based bounding surface plasticity model for clays is developed to accommodate multiaxial stress reversals. The model is constructed based on the idea of a vanishing elastic region undergoing pure translation ...

Abstract: Two‐ and three‐dimensional finite element (FE) analyses are performed to investigate the influence of nonlinear soil behavior on the dynamic response of harmonically excited rigid foundations. Lateral, rocking, and torsional ...
