Finite Element Analysis of Nonlinear Consolidation
… is presented for the unified treatment of saturated and partially saturated soils. Two sources of nonlinear material behavior are identified. The nonlinear material behavior under fully drained condition is represented by an elasto-plastic material model formulated in terms of effective …

Modelo constitutivo basado en la teoría de la plasticidad generalizada con la incorporación de parámetros de estado para arenas saturadas y no saturadas
… thesis is focused on constitutive modelling of saturated and partially saturated granular soils from state parameters point of view. The Generalized Plasticity constitutive equation has been extended in order to reproduce stress-strain behaviour of granular soils with a single set of intrinsic …

Collapse of stone column foundations due to inundation.
… encountered by foundation engineers involves partially saturated soils which possess considerable in-situ dry strength that is largely lost when the soils become wetted. Foundation design in such soils is difficult at best. In many cases, deep foundations may be required to transmit foundation …

Development of a constitutive model for a heaving clay from Rosebank
Heaving clays are partially saturated soils composed of a high fraction of the montmorillonite clay mineral. When exposed to free water they undergo volumetric expansion, which often results in differential movements at the surface and damage to building structures founded on the clay. The economic …

Fracture characterization of clays and clay-like materials using flattened Brazilian Test
… date, the application of fracture mechanics to soils has been limited to dry and partially saturated soils where soil consistency changes due to suction and tends to be harder exhibiting a quasi-brittle behavior. Of late, studying fracture propagation in clays and mudrocks has become of interest …

Dynamisches Mehrphasenmodell mit hypoplastischer Materialformulierung der Feststoffphase
… of the pore fluid on the bearing behaviour of soils. In addition to simple consolidation the model is applicable for the simulation of the phenomenon of soil liquefaction initiated by earthquake induced failures in saturated or partially saturated soils. Further applications in geotechnical …

Air Injection Technique to Mitigate Liquefaction beneath Shallow Foundations
… of foundations. A wider and more uniformly desaturated zone was achieved with increasing air injection pressure, but which concurrently increased the settlements that shallow foundations experienced. It was also found that most of the air could remain entrapped in partially saturated soil …
