<p>Conventional investigations on the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soils are often investigated at the failure point. In this paper, a new concept of comparison of the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soil by estimating the strength and strength ...

By merging elasto-plastic finite element analysis with random field theory, an investigation has been performed into the stability of an undrained clay slope with spatially varying shear strength. The results of the study lead to a direct comparison between ...

<p>This paper describes a study of the stress-strain-pore water pressure behavior of Mexico City sediments subjected to one hundred sinusoidal stress-controlled cycles of loading. The influence of factors, such as, yielding stress, confining pressure, cyclic ...
