Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of anisotropy and destructuration on the behavior of Haarajoki test embankment, which was built by the Finnish National Road Administration as a noise barrier in 1997 on a soft clay ...

Abstract: Two recently proposed anisotropic rate-dependent models are used to simulate the consolidation behavior of two soft natural clays: Murro clay and Haarajoki clay. The rate-dependent constitutive models include the EVP-SCLAY1 ...

Abstract: A systematic series of temperature-controlled oedometer tests on intact and remolded samples of sensitive clay from two depths has been performed. The focus is on studying the temperature effects on the emerging creep rate ...

Abstract: Abstract Modeling the three-dimensional (3D) soil–structure interaction of geostructures on periodic ground improvement, in order to optimize the design, is a computationally demanding task. Thus, this paper exploits the ...

Abstract: The paper focuses on investigating the destructuration process during time-dependent stress-strain evolution. For this purpose, various oedometer tests and triaxial tests on intact and reconstituted samples of soft sensitive ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of anisotropy and destructuration on the behavior of a test embankment on soft clay. The test embankment at Murro, Finland, was commissioned in 1993 by the Finnish Road Administration ...
