Abstract: Linear consolidation analyses are usually treated either by means of Terzaghi-Rendulic uncoupled theory or Biot’s consolidation theory. In this note, the problem of consolidation displacements around an axially loaded ...

Abstract: The writers introduce a design approach for braced excavations based directly on the data of carefully chosen soil tests, conceived within the framework of plasticity theory, but allowing for strain hardening. Mobilized ...

Abstract: This paper presents a closed-form analytical solution for the consolidation of soil around a laterally loaded pile, assuming the soil skeleton deforms elastically and under plane strain conditions. The problem is idealized ...
