Predicting the long-term performance of a wide embankment on soft soil using an elastic-viscoplastic model

This paper presents modelling of the consolidation of foundation soil under a wide embankment constructed over soft soil. An elastic-viscoplastic (EVP) constitutive model is used to represent the foundation soil for the coupled finite element analysis (FEA). A unit-cell analysis is carried out to ca...
