Abstract: AbstractThe effective stress equation is considered as the cornerstone of soil mechanics, yet it has been subject to diverse interpretations and debates since its inception. Efforts have been made to study the effective ...

Abstract: The experimental behavior of natural Pisa clay under complex stress paths is simulated by an enhanced anisotropic elastoplastic bounding surface model. In its present application, the model has nine parameters and focuses ...

Abstract: To study the effects of traffic loading, three centrifuge tests were carried out on the response of a saturated clay ground under sinusoidally cyclic vertical loading. The clay ground was overconsolidated at its top to ...
