Abstract: This paper presents the performance of an excavation with cross walls based on field observations and numerical analysis results. A small strain constitutive model was used in the analysis. By comparing the movements of ...

Abstract: Soils are generally known not to be isotropic materials. The inherent anisotropy of clays results from the deposition process, which tends to induce a horizontal bedding plane in the soil layer. In this paper, the anisotropy ...
