Strength and Deformability of Clay Soil Under Different Triaxial Load Regimes that Consider Crack Formation

Resumo

A spatial model of dilatating soil under triaxial load conditions with different regimes are described on the basis of a hypothesis that the Coulomb dry friction force acts in the plane of tangential particle shear. Spatial soil deformation over time is described in accordance with the theory of inherited creep in the form of the sum of deformations due to changes in volume and shape, with due regard for their interrelation.
