Abstract: The compression behavior of structured soils after virgin yielding is highly nonlinear and cannot be captured by a single line in the e–ln(p′) space. The slope of the compression curve of structured soils changes gradually ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model for compression and wetting-induced collapse behavior of unsaturated soils using the disturbed state concept. The volume change and collapse behavior of unsaturated soils were described using ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simplified solution for consolidation of plastic clays under cyclic loading in disturbed state concept (DSC) framework. When normally consolidated (NC) clay undergoes cyclic loading, at the beginning ...
