Extensive overview of soil constitutive relations and applications for geotechnical engineering problems

A state-of-the-art review has been conducted in this work on soil constitutive modeling, which has emphasized on: soil type, ground-water conditions, loading conditions, structural behavior, constitutive relation discipline, and dimensions. By extension also, the soil constitutive applications were...

description A state-of-the-art review has been conducted in this work on soil constitutive modeling, which has emphasized on: soil type, ground-water conditions, loading conditions, structural behavior, constitutive relation discipline, and dimensions. By extension also, the soil constitutive applications were reviewed on the bases of: single discipline dealing with soil mechanical properties constitutive modeling which included slope stability problems, bearing capacity, settlement of foundations, earth pressure problems, soil dynamics, soil structure interaction, thermal and hydrological conditions; bi-discipline (coupled problems) which solve problems related to thermomechanical (freeze/thaw conditions), smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and hydromechanical (consolidation, collapse and liquefaction) conditions in soils and rocks and multi-discipline constitutive models which solve complex problems related to thermo-hydromechanical (THM) conditions in soils and rocks. This work has shown that smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and hydromechanical (HM) models, which belong to bi-discipline or coupled conditions are better suited for geotechnical applications, generally, while thermo-hydromechanical (THM) models, which belong to multi-discipline are better suited to solving freeze/thaw and thermal piles problems and these are proven with high performance and flexibility.
