DIRECT SOLUTION OF PLASTICITY PROBLEMS IN SOILS BY THE METHOD OF CHARACTERISTICS.

The method of characteristics is well established as a direct method of solving for the stresses in plasticity deforming soils under conditions of plane strain. The application of similar methods to problems of axial symmetry, and to soils with non-homogeneous properties is described and some illust...
