The reason(s) of the nonuniform elastic settlement profile below a flexible footing, resting on a cohesionless soil while subjected to uniform loading...

In a triaxial unconsolidated undrained (UU) test on a saturated clay sample, the cell pressure was 100 kPa. If the deviatoric stress at failure was 15...

A consolidated drained (CD) triaxial test was carried out on a sand sample with the known effective shear strength parameters, 𝑐′ = 0 and 𝜙′ = 30°. ...

A saturated compressible clay layer of thickness h is sandwiched between two sand layers, as shown in the figure. Initially, the total vertical stress...
