The well-known logarithmic creep law for secondary compression is transformed into a
differential form in order to include transient loading conditions. This 1-D creep model for …

In this paper a new anisotropic model for time-dependent behaviour of soft soils is
presented. The formulation is based on a previously developed isotropic creep model …

Pipelines as infrastructure components are very vulnerable to geohazard-induced
phenomena such as ground deformation, slopes failure and others. Understanding the …

The objective of this study is to examine the mechanism of the long-term settlement induced
in shield tunneling. A series of finite element analysis were conducted using PLAXIS 3D on …

The ISA-plasticity is a mathematical platform which allows to propose constitutive models for
soils under a wide range of strain amplitudes. This formulation is based on a state variable …

On présente ici une théorie non linéaire de la consolidation qui prend en compte la
compression secondaire. La théorie est introduite dans une forme faible d'équilibre …

The simulation of the viscous behavior of some clays is of high importance in many
geotechnical problems. The literature offers a vast amount of constitutive models able to …

Long-term settlements in clay constitute a major engineering challenge in areas with deep
deposits of soft clay. This dissertation aims to extend the understanding and theoretical …

Two test embankments were built on an organic clay at the Lampen test site in Sweden and
movements and pore pressures were measured over a period of six years. Well-established …

Le travail de recherche présenté dans ce mémoire se situe dans le domaine de la
géomécanique. Il a pour but l'étude du comportement différé des sols mous en confrontant …
