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 …

Soils can rarely be described as ideally elastic or perfectly plastic and yet simple elastic and
plastic models form the basis for the most traditional geotechnical engineering calculations …

The aim of Plasticity Theory is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the contemporary
state of knowledge in basic plasticity theory and to its applications. It treats several areas not …

Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but
the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by …

Model tests and theoretical analysis were done to investigate the arching in embankments
on soft ground supported by piles with cap beams and geo-textiles. The cap-beam-and …

There ore simple analytical solutions for stability analysis of tronslation slides v, ith failures
along essentially plonar surfaces via limit equilibrium methods. The solutions for special …

A theory, based on cavity expansion and stress rotation analyses, is developed for
computing the cone penetration resistance of sand. The sand is modeled as a nonlinear …

This paper presents the results of three-dimensional finite-element analyses of circular
foundations on the surface of homogeneous, purely cohesive soil. The foundations were …

A theory is formulated to connect the strength of cement paste with its porosity. The theory
shows that bending strength is largely dictated by the length of the largest pores, as in the …

Contrary to what has recently been assumed in modeling the proposed deforming bed
mechanism for the rapid motion of Antarctic ice streams, the rheology of water saturated till is …
