Abstract: Unlike that adopted in most existing compression models, the complete compression curve of reconstituted clays in the e − lnp′ space is S shaped. In this paper, an accurate S-shaped equation is proposed that is suitable ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a practical method of determining embankment loads-induced vertical superimposed stress in subsoil by incorporating the effects of contact stress and soil elastoplastic behavior. The particulate–probabilistic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case study detailing a riverbank dike damaged by pile driving in very soft clay in Shanghai, P. R. China. Driven piles were designed to support the existing dike to be raised to a higher elevation. ...
