...Bin-Hua Xu; Buddhima Indraratna; John P. Carter; Cholachat Rujikiatkamjorn; Richard Kelly Soft soils subjected to cyclic loading under undrained conditions can experience either undrained yielding (i.e. plastic yielding that has reached the critical state) or the transition to a fluid-like state...

... on soft soils. These analyses pointed out the importance of a precise knowledge of the detailed history of the soil models, starting from their preparation in the container under natural gravity. The clay behaviour in the centrifuge depends on a combination of consolidation and creep, which in turn...
