This paper provides the background to the 50th Rankine Lecture. It considers the growth in
emphasis of the prediction of ground displacements during design in the past two decades …

Very small strain stiffness anisotropy of sedimentary clays is investigated. First, a general
formulation of transversely isotropic elastic model is summarised, followed by a description …

1.1 Preliminary Remarks 1 1.2 The Nature of Soils and Other Porous Media: Why a Full
Deformation Analysis is the Only Viable Approach for Prediction 4 1.3 Concepts of Effective …

Soft structured clays usually exhibit complex behaviors, which can lead to difficulties in the
determination of parameters and high testing costs. This paper aims to propose an efficient …

An analysis is presented of a database of 67 tests on 21 clays and silts of undrained shear
stress-strain data of fine-grained soils. Normalizations of secant G in terms of initial mean …

This paper presents a new constitutive model for clays. The model is developed on the basis
of generalized hypoplasticity principles, which are combined with traditional critical state soil …

Experimental evidences have shown deficiencies of the existing overstress and creep
models for viscous behaviour of natural soft clay. The purpose of this paper is to develop a …

This paper presents a generalized effective stress model for describing the rate-independent
behavior of normally to moderately overconsolidated clays (with OCRs less than 8) that …
