Hambleton Constitutive models constructed within the combined framework of kinematic hardening and bounding surface plasticity have proved to be successful in describing the rate-independent deformation of soils under non-monotonic histories...

... curve. The proposed reference state curve is then applied to understanding and predicting some important aspects of soil behaviour such as: (a) stress ratios at the peak point of undrained effective stress paths and (b) the ‘reverse behaviour’ of sandy soils that show an unusual...

...V. R. Tarnawski; T. Momose; W. H. Leong Accurate predictions of soil thermal conductivity k are strongly influenced by the volumetric fraction of quartz, Θ_q, data for which are very scarce. This paper reveals a new approach to estimate Θ_q from measured k...

...L. M. Merckelbach; C. Kranenburg Equations for the Terzaghi effective stress and permeability of clay–silt–sand mixtures are derived on the basis of a scale-invariant structure of the soil to enhance physical interpretation of the empirical coefficients. The behaviour of soft sediment is assumed...
