  • Physical Soil Mechanics

    by Gerd Gudehus ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Soil is matter in its own right. Its nature can be captured by means of monotonous, cyclic and strange attractors. Thus material properties are defined by the asymptotic response of sand- and clay-like samples to imposed deformations and stresses. This serves to validate and calibrate elastoplastic and hypoplastic relations with comparative plots. Extensions capture thermal and seismic activations ... Read more
