A simplified mechanically based model for predicting partially drained behaviour of penetrometers and shallow foundations

An analytical model is described for the behaviour of shallow foundations subjected to partially drained vertical penetration. The model is based on a simplified mechanical approach, allowing the calibration of model parameters for different foundation shape, size and soil conditions. As shown throu...
