Abstract: 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 models are based on isotropic conditions ...

Abstract: When a material is subjected to cyclic loading, there are changes in the material’s geomechanical behavior that need to be known and characterized for a safe design. To this end, a series of unconfined compressive strength ...
