Modelling time-dependent behaviour of Murro test embankment
Field-scale validation for the first anisotropic elasto-viscoplastic model ever published that can account for anisotropy, viscosity and the gradual destruction of apparent bonding of soft natural clays, hence capturing the complex behaviour of sensitive clays and quick clays. Funded by the Academy of Finland (grants 210744 and 1284594) and the EC (MRTNCT- 2004-512120, PIAP-GA-2009-230639). The model, implemented in the Plaxis finite element code, is now being used by a number of research groups in the world, including Tampere University of Technology (Tim Länsivaara, tim.lansivaara@tut.fi) which uses to study the progressive failure of an instrumented railway embankment on Perniö clay.
