Abstract: The problems of steady seepage into long double‐walled cofferdams in a pervious stratum of finite depth were presented by King and Cockroft in 1972 for the cases of no excavation and full excavation inside the cofferdam. ...

Abstract: While various engineering projects involving electro‐osmotic stabilization and consolidation of fine‐grained soils have been implemented with considerable success, attempts to estimate the progress of consolidation, even ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach for incorporating reliability analysis in the prediction of excess pore pressures caused by thawing of frozen soils. The proposed approach is a risk‐based procedure that can be used to develop ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions for steady seepage into long double‐walled cofferdams have been obtained by using complex variable techniques. Employing the method of successive conformal mapping, the correspondence between the complex ...

Abstract: Conformal mapping solutions for two‐dimensional steadystate seepage towards vertical excavated faces are presented. Solutions in parametric form are developed for the shape of the free surface and the height of intersection ...

Abstract: An approach is presented for analytical modeling of the full range of material behavior of normally consolidated to heavily overconsolidated clays. The approach has the capability of describing both drained and undrained, ...

Abstract: Within the framework of critical state soil mechanics concepts, a rate‐independent constitutive model for soil response to complex, three‐dimensional loading is proposed. For any loading excursion, the material response ...

Abstract: A simple approach for nonassociative elastoplastic modeling of mechanical behavior of soils is presented in this paper. The distinctive features of this model are: (1) Disparate mechanisms for volumetric and distortional ...
