CRITICAL STATE SOIL MECHANICS
BASIC CONCEPTS INTRODUCTION SEDIMENTATION AND SIEVING IN DETERMINATION OF PARTICLE SIZES SOIL CLASSIFICATION WATER CONTENT AND DENSITY OF SATURATED SOIL SPECIMEN THE EFFECTIVE STRESS CONCEPT SOME EFFECTS THAT ARE ‘MATHEMATICAL’ RATHER THAN ‘PHYSICAL’ THE CRITICAL STATE CONCEPT SUMMARY CHAPTER STRESSES, STRAINS, ELASTICITY, AND PLASTICITY STRESS STRESS-INCREMENT STRAIN-INCREMENT SCALARS, VECTORS, AND TENSORS SPHERICAL AND DEVIATORIC TENSORS TWO ELASTIC CONSTANTS FOR AN ISOTROPIC CONTINUUM PRINCIPAL STRESS SPACE TWO ALTERNATIVE YIELD FUNCTIONS THE PLASTIC POTENTIAL FUNCTION AND THE NORMALITY CONDITION ISOTROPIC HARDENING AND THE STABILITY CRITERION SEEPAGE EXCESS PORE-PRESSURE HYDRAULIC GRADIENT DARCY’S LAW THREE-DIMENSIONAL SEEPAGE TWO-DIMENSIONAL SEEPAGE SEEPAGE UNDER A LONG SHEET PILE WALL: AN EXTENDED EXAMPLE APPROXIMATE MATHEMATICAL SOLUTION FOR THE SHEET PILE WALL CONTROL OF SEEPAGE ONE-DIMENSIONAL CONSOLIDATION SPRING ANALOGY EQUILIBRIUM STATES RATE OF SETTLEMENT APPROXIMATE SOLUTION FOR CONSOLIDOMETER EXACT SOLUTION FOR CONSOLIDOMETER THE CONSOLIDATION PROBLEM GRANTA-GRAVEL A SIMPLE AXIAL-TEST SYSTEM PROBING STABILITY AND INSTABILITY STRESS, STRESS-INCREMENT, AND STRAIN-INCREMENT POWER POWER IN GRANTA-GRAVEL RESPONSES TO PROBES WHICH CAUSE YIELD CRITICAL STATES YIELDING OF GRANTA-GRAVEL FAMILY OF YIELD CURVES HARDENING AND SOFTENING COMPARISON WITH REAL GRANULAR MATERIALS TAYLOR’S RESULTS ON OTTAWA SAND UNDRAINED TESTS CHAPTER 6 CAM-CLAY AND THE CRITICAL STATE CONCEPT POWER IN CAM-CLAY PLASTIC VOLUME CHANGE CRITICAL STATES AND YIELDING OF CAM-CLAY YIELD CURVES AND STABLE-STATE BOUNDARY SURFACE COMPRESSION OF CAM-CLAY UNDRAINED TESTS ON CAM-CLAY THE CRITICAL STATE MODEL PLASTIC COMPRESSIBILITY AND THE INDEX TESTS THE UNCONFINED COMPRESSION STRENGTH CHAPTER 7 INTERPRETATION OF DATA FROM AXIAL TESTS ON SATURATED CLAYS ONE REAL AXIAL-TEST APPARATUS TEST PROCEDURE DATA PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION INTERPRETATION OF DATA ON THE PLOTS OF V VERSUS LN P APPLIED LOADING PLANES INTERPRETATION OF TEST DATA IN (P, V, Q) SPACE INTERPRETATION OF SHEAR STRAIN DATA INTERPRETATION OF DATA OF ?& AND DERIVATION OF CAM-CLAY CONSTANTS RENDULIC’S GENERALIZED PRINCIPLE OF EFFECTIVE STRESS INTERPRETATION OF PORE-PRESSURE CHANGES CHAPTER 8 COULOMB’S FAILURE EQUATION AND THE CHOICE OF STRENGTH PARAMETERS COULOMB’S FAILURE EQUATION HVORSLEV’S EXPERIMENTS ON THE STRENGTH OF CLAY AT FAILURE PRINCIPAL STRESS RATIO IN SOIL ABOUT TO FAIL DATA OF STATES OF FAILURE A FAILURE MECHANISM AND THE RESIDUAL STRENGTH ON SLIDING SURFACES DESIGN CALCULATIONS AN EXAMPLE OF AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM OF LIMITING EQUILIBRIUM AN EXAMPLE OF THE LONG-TERM PROBLEM OF LIMITING EQUILIBRIUM CHAPTER 9 TWO-DIMENSIONAL FIELDS OF LIMITING STRESS COULOMB’S ANALYSIS OF ACTIVE PRESSURE USING A PLANE SURFACE OF SLIP COULOMB’S ANALYSIS OF PASSIVE PRESSURE COULOMB’S FRICTION CIRCLE AND ITS DEVELOPMENT IN GOTHENBERG STABILITY DUE TO COHESION ALONE DISCONTINUITY CONDITIONS IN A LIMITING-STRESS FIELD DISCONTINUOUS LIMITING-STRESS FIELD SOLUTIONS TO THE BEARING CAPACITY PROBLEM UPPER AND LOWER BOUNDS TO A PLASTIC COLLAPSE LOAD LATERAL PRESSURE OF HORIZONTAL STRATA WITH SELF WEIGHT (?>0, ?>0) THE BASIC EQUATIONS AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS FOR A PURELY COHESIVE MATERIAL THE GENERAL NUMERICAL SOLUTION SOKOLOVSKI’S SHAPES FOR LIMITING SLOPE OF A COHESIVE SOIL CHAPTER 10 CONCLUSION SCOPE GRANTA-GRAVEL REVIEWED TEST EQUIPMENT SOIL DEFORMATION AND FLOW
