Numerical modelling of reinforced unpaved roads

A finite element model capable of computing the behaviour of a reinforced unpaved road deforming in plane strain is described. Elastic perfectly-plastic soil models are used which are based on the use of the von Mises yield function for cohseive soils and the Matsuoka criterion for frictional materi...
