Numerical Implementation of the Cohesive Soil Bounding Surface Plasticity Model. Volume I.

Abstract

The results of a study of various numerical means for implementing the bounding surface plasticity model for cohesive soils is presented. A comparison is made of the computational efficiency, robustness, and ease of implementation of the completing methods. The comparisons are made on the basis of solutions to three representative geotechnical engineering problems. A very brief description of a computer-aided automated calibration procedure is given along with instructions for using the resulting computer code. An example calibration is reported for a particular cohesive soil. (Author)
