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: This paper reports the results of a numerical investigation of the behavior of a natural soft clay deposit under the installation of a case study pile. The case study problem included installation of an instrumented ...

Abstract: Cyclic loading of saturated sand under partially drained conditions may lead to accumulated strains, pore pressure buildup, and consequently reduced effective stress, stiffness, and shear strength. This will affect the ...
