The finite element analyses were carried out using elastic-plastic and modified Cam clay models for the soil. PUB TYPE: Book (ISBN 0853129371 ). Soil types and loading conditions are thus urgently needed for accurate finite element computations using critical state models. Gunn, Critical State Soil Mechanics via Finite Elements, John Wiely & Sons, New York, NY, USA, 1987. VOLUME/EDITION: PAGES (INTRO/BODY): 488 p. The constitutive model is based on the critical state soil mechanics framework. The model has a non-associated flow rule. In soil mechanics, student's models are classified as simple models that teach us unexplained elements of behaviour; an example is the Cam clay constitutive models of critical state soil mechanics (CSSM). Liquefaction phenomenon within the critical state soil mechanics framework. Using the finite element method for spatial discretization, the u-p formulation is as . In order to capture soil behavior accurately during the analysis, a bounding-surface clay constitutive model is developed. This thesis addresses the solution of certain key boundary-value problems of piling engineering, e.g., the determination of the shaft capacity of drilled shafts and the analysis of pile setup for jacked piles in clay using the finite element method.
