The strength aspect of clay soil is a critical concern in practical engineering design. Electroosmosis (EO) has been adopted as foundation treatment technology some projects to increase the soft clay. In order widen understanding on shear performance EO-treated soil, behavior using electrokinetic geosynthetics (EKG) electrodes under effect water immersion was evaluated and compared with that va...

This paper presents the results of three dimensional finite element analysis laterally loaded pile groups configuration 1×1, 2×1 and 3×1, embedded in two-layered soil consisting soft clay at liquid limit overlying dense sand using Plaxis 3D. Effects variation length (L) layer thickness (h) on lateral capacity bending moment profile foundations were evaluated by employing different values to dia...

In this paper a new anisotropic model for time-dependent behaviour of soft soils is presented. The formulation is based on a previously developed isotropic creep model, assuming rotated Modified Cam Clay ellipses as contours of volumetric creep strain rates. A rotational hardening law is adopted to account for changes in anisotropy due to viscous strains. Although this will introduce some new s...
