Elasto-plastic analysis of a multi-stage excavation in bonded geomaterials

The deformation characteristics of braced and unbraced excavations in a dry structured soil are investigated numerically. A constitutive model based on the theory of bounding surface plasticity is used to predict the plastic deformation of the soil. A plastic cementation index is introduced in the h...
