Abstract: The Cam‐clay models, or any other plasticity‐based models, do not make distinction between the mode of stress transfer in coarse‐ and fine‐grained soils. An examination of behavior at micro level in fine‐grained soils, ...

Abstract: The development of the Cam‐clay model, based on critical state concepts associated with the plasticity theory, is a consequence of the geotechnical engineer's desire to simply predict the behavior of fine‐grained soils ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model for bonded or cemented soils within the framework of hardening plasticity. The model is based on the concepts that (1) the strength of a cemented soil can be considered to be made up of two ...

Abstract: Sensitive soils, in general, are prone to mechanical disturbances while sampling, handling, and testing. This necessitates the prediction of true field behavior. The compressibility response of such soils is typical of ...
