Rheological And Ultimate Strength Properties Of Cohesive Soils, Gordon D. Scott
Rheological And Ultimate Strength Properties Of Cohesive Soils, Gordon D. Scott
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
In recent years, there have been considerable advances made in rheological theory and its application to various materials. There has not been, however, nearly as much work done toward applying rheology to soil mechanics as the successes of others would seem to indicate. For instance, it has been shown that a variety of stress and deflection problems considering the application of a load by means of an elastic plate to an elastic foundation can be extended to include rate effects through the application of linear viscoelastic theory. Before this theory can be applied to foundation design, however, two questions must …
