FINITE CAVITY EXPANSION IN DILATANT SOILS - LOADING ANALYSIS

An analysis of the quasi-static expansion of a cylindrical or spherical cavity in an infinite dilatant elastic-plastic soil is presented. Closed form solutions for the stress and displacement fields in the soil during the expansion of the cavity are given. The soil is modelled as linear elastic-perf...
