.... This has been done by developing an analysis for the limit pressure using Hill's incremental velocity approach, assuming that plastic dilation of a cohesive-frictional material does not proceed indefinitely but has a finite limit. This paper extends the earlier work of Yu & Carter (2002) , which...

... is considered as an isotropic material. However, soft clays are almost always anisotropic, having both stiffness and strength dependent on the orientation of principal stresses. This complicates any design analysis, and as sufficient data are not usually available to define the magnitude of anisotropy...

...W. Powrie Embedded retaining walls are often designed on the basis of limit equilibrium stress distributions. Although this type of analysis has been used widely for many decades, there is considerable scope for confusion and disagreement concerning the values of soil strength and soil– wall...

...W. G. K. Fleming A method is presented for the analysis and prediction of single pile behaviour under maintained loading, based on the use of hyperbolic functions to describe individual shaft and base performance. When these functions are combined, and elastic pile shortening is added...

... and the plug capacity is significantly lower. The Paper presents a simple one-dimensional analysis of the soil plug under partially drained conditions. The analysis has been implemented numerically, and the resulting program used to derive design charts which give the plug capacity as a function of the soil...

...M. Irsyam; R. D. Hryciw A theoretical analysis, supported by laboratory investigations, of stress transfer between soil and ribbed reinforcement has been performed to evaluate the individual contributions of friction and passive resistance to overall pullout resistance. The laboratory experiments...

... provide a suitable practical basis for the analysis of water, heat, electrical and chemical flows due to gradients of the same type. Prolonged application of gradients of the different types can cause significant changes in the state and properties of a soil, and flows through it. The quantification...

...C. Bauduin; F. Molenkamp The inner slope of a heightened and broadened embankment in the Meuse–Rhine delta failed just after being completed. To quantify the safety of the last minor loading phase a classical slope stability analysis was performed, giving a factor of safety of the order of 1·15...

...H.S. Yu; G.T. Houlsby An analysis of the quasi-static expansion of a cylindrical or spherical cavity in an infinite dilatant elastic-plastic soil is presented. Closed form solutions for the stress and displacement fields in the soil during the expansion of the cavity are given. The soil is modelled...

... of limit analysis. Both safety against face collapse and blow-out are considered. Three upper bound solutions are derived from the consideration of mechanisms based on the motion of rigid conical blocks. The results are compared with lower bound solutions published in a previous article. A failure...
