Book excerpt: This book is addressed primarily to civil engineers familiar with such traditional topics as strength of materials, soil mechanics, and theory of elasticity and structures, but less familiar with the modern development of the mathematical theory of soil plasticity necessary to any engineer working under the general heading of nonlinear analysis of soil-structure system. This book will satisfy his needs in the case of the soil medium.It introduces the reader to the theory of soil plasticity and its numerical implementation into computer programs. The theory and method of computer implementation presented here are appropriate for solving nonlinear static dynamic problems in soil mechanics and are applicable for finite difference and finite element computer codes. A sample computer model subroutine is developed and this is used to study some typical soil mechanics problems.With its comprehensive coverage and simple, concise presentation, the book will undoubtedly prove to be very useful for consulting engineers, research and graduate students in geotechnical engineering.

Download or read book Practice of Constitutive Modelling for Saturated Soils written by Zhen-Yu Yin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the development of a constitutive modeling platform for soil testing, which is one of the key components in geomechanics and geotechnics. It discusses the fundamentals of the constitutive modeling of soils and illustrates the use of these models to simulate various laboratory tests. To help readers understand the fundamentals and modeling of soil behaviors, it first introduces the general stress–strain relationship of soils and the principles and modeling approaches of various laboratory tests, before examining the ideas and formulations of constitutive models of soils. Moving on to the application of constitutive models, it presents a modeling platform with a practical, simple interface, which includes various kinds of tests and constitutive models ranging from clay to sand, that is used for simulating most kinds of laboratory tests. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate-level teaching in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering and other related engineering specialties. Thanks to the inclusion of real-world applications, it is also of use to industry practitioners, opening the door to advanced courses on modeling within the industrial engineering and operations research fields.
Download or read book Modelling of Soil Behaviour with Hypoplasticity written by David Mašín and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the hypoplastic modelling framework. It is divided into two parts, the first of which is devoted to principles of hypoplasticity. First, the basic features of soil’s mechanical behaviour are introduced, namely non-linearity and asymptotic properties. These features are then incorporated into simple one-dimensional hypoplastic equations for compression and shear. Subsequently, a hypoplastic equivalent of the Modified Cam-Clay model is developed in 2D space using stress and strain invariants to demonstrate key similarities and differences between elasto-plastic and hypoplastic formulations. Lastly, the mathematical structure of hypoplastic models is explained by tracing their historical development, from the early trial-and-error models to more recent approaches. In turn, Part II introduces specific hypoplastic models for soils. First, two reference models for sand and clay are defined. After summarising their mathematical formulations, calibration procedures are described and discussed. Subsequently, more advanced modelling approaches are covered: the intergranular strain concept incorporating the effects of small strain stiffness and cyclic loading, viscohypoplasticity for predicting rate effects, soil structure to represent structured and bonded materials and soil anisotropy. The book concludes with a description of partial saturation and thermal effects: topics that are increasingly important to the disciplines of energy and environmental geotechnics. Selecting a constitutive model and its parameters is often the most important and yet challenging part of any numerical analysis in geotechnical engineering. Hypoplasticity involves a specific class of soil constitutive models, which are described in detail here. The book offers an essential resource, both for model users who need a more advanced model for their geotechnical calculations and are mainly interested in parameter calibration procedures, and for model developers who are seeking a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical structure of hypoplasticity.
Download or read book Development of Constitutive Models for Linear and Nonlinear Shear Modulus and Material Damping Relationships of Uncemented Soils written by Yaning Wang (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 934 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many decades, hundreds of soil samples recovered from North America and other parts of the world have been tested in the Soil and Rock Dynamics (SRD) Laboratory at The University of Texas at Austin using combined resonant column and torsional shear (RCTS) equipment. Dynamic soil property relationships determined in this study include: (1) linear relationships of log G[subscript max] - log [sigma]0 and log D[subscript min] - log [sigma]0, and (2) nonlinear relationships of G/G[subscript max] - log [gamma] and D - log [gamma]. These relationships are important in geotechnical design, especially for geotechnical earthquake engineering and soil dynamics. More recently, higher resolution measurements have been made over shear strains ranging from about 1×10−6 to 0.3 %. Most recently, measurements of the initiation of pore-water pressure generation in nearly to saturated poorly-graded sands and low-plasticity silts have been conducted during torsional shear (TS) testing. A significant database has been developed involving all types of uncemented soil specimens tested in the SRD Laboratory since the late 1980's. The effects of soil type, index properties, density, confining state and strain level on the dynamic properties have been quantified through multivariable regression analyses performed on the database. Four sets of empirical models for log G[subscript max] - log [sigma]0, G/G[subscript max] - log [gamma], log D[subscript min] - log [sigma]0 and D - log [gamma] relationships are presented in this study. These models are composed of simple equations that incorporate the key parameters controlling linear soil behavior as well as nonlinear soil behavior. The process used to develop the parameters in the models employed a residual analysis procedure in a staged manner. Both the mean values of the empirical models and the uncertainty associated with these values are presented. Those empirical models show significant improvements in accuracy and applicable range compared to previous models. The application ranges of these models and sparse portions of the associated database are also discussed for the sake of appropriate utilization and future updates. The influence of number of loading cycles, confining pressure and soil type (sand or low-plasticity silt) on the initiation of pore-water pressure generation during TS testing are briefly discussed. A preliminary model for the r[subscript u] - log [gamma] relationship is presented. This model focuses on determination of the threshold strain at which pore pressure generation is triggered, [gamma][subscript t][superscript pp], and the early stages leading towards soil liquefaction.
