One Dimensional Consolidation of Collapsible Soils: Elastic vs. Elasto-Plastic Analyses
Publication: Advances in Unsaturated Soil, Geo-Hazard, and Geo-Environmental Engineering
Abstract
Compacted soils are extensively used in engineering projects and the volume change of compacted soils is of great interest to engineers. Most compacted soils have collapsible soil behaviors when subjected to wetting or loading. Volume change of compacted soil is therefore a consolidation problem for unsaturated collapsible soils. At present, the existing consolidation theory for unsaturated soils is based on the assumption that the soil is elastic while unsaturated soils are well-known elastic-plastic materials. This paper compares the differences in results of consolidation when elastic and elasto-plastic analysis are used.
