A novel three-dimensional (3D) fractional plastic flow rule that is not limited by the
coordinate basis of the differentiable function is proposed based on the fractional derivative …

Modeling the time-dependent behavior of unsaturated soil is a topic that is poorly addressed
by the current literature. This paper presents a novel elastic-viscoplastic constitutive model …

Predicting the inner displacements of deep vertical shafts during the excavation process has
been a difficult task considering the geological, structural, and constructional influences. In …

Written by a seasoned geotechnical engineer, this book, a winner of the Japanese
Geotechnical Society 2016 publication award, presents a simple and unified approach to …

The description of the cyclic mobility observed prior to the liquefaction in geomaterials
requires the sophisticated constitutive formulation to describe the plastic deformation …

Abstract Structure is an evident determinant for macroscopic behaviors of soils. However,
this is not taken into account in most constitutive models, as structure is a rather complex …

This paper presents the mechanical behaviors of the lacustrine deposit, a representative soil
in Bogotá, Colombia. Initially, the physical characterization of the deposit is performed via …

Clay is under the coupling influence of both time and temperature in some innovative
geomechanical problems. Previous experimental researches have confirmed that time and …

This paper proposes a combined-loading elastoplastic constitutive model (CL model) for a
unified description of the mechanical behavior of soil materials, including clay, sand, and …

Natural geotechnical materials are affected by sedimentation and exhibit significant
anisotropy. To study the transverse isotropy characteristics of soil, the influence of …
