Instead of fixating on formulae, Soil Mechanics: Concepts and Applications, Third Edition
focuses on the fundamentals. This book describes the mechanical behaviour of soils as it …

Elasto‐plastic models based on critical state formulations have been successful in
describing many of the most important features of the mechanical behaviour of soils. This …

The compressibility and strength characteristics of reconstituted clays are used as a basic
frame of reference for interpreting the corresponding characteristics of natural sedimentary …

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 …

In order to eliminate ratcheting a so‐called intergranular strain has been added to a
hypoplastic constitutive model. This additional state variable represents the deformation of …

Segunda edição do livro, totalmente atualizada, com dados brasileiros. A investigação
geotécnica constitui-se em pré-requisito para projetos seguros e econômicos. Ensaios de …

Soil stress-strain behaviour is highly non-linear and this has an important influence on the
selection of design parameters for simple routine geotechnical calculations. Non-linear …

Geotechnical Engineering of Dams provides a comprehensive text on the geotechnical and
geological aspects of the investigations for and the design and construction of new dams. In …

Recent field and laboratory studies have shown that, even at very small strains, many soils
exhibit non-linear stress–strain behaviour. Nevertheless, because of its convenience, linear …

The stiffness of soil at very small strain G o is a useful parameter for characterizing the non-
linear stress–strain behaviour of soil for monotonic loading and it is required for analyses of …
