This research work involved the implementation of a constitutive model based on plasticity theory to model the behaviour of a clay under cyclic loading. The modelling must be based on an understanding of the soil response and the critical state theory provides a description of the soil response which then be formulated in terms of plasticity theory. A literature review showed that there is a shortage of information on the behaviour of soils under cyclic loading. Constitutive models for 'cyclic loading are discussed to compare the predictions and thus select a model. 2014-10-11T12:00:03Z 2014-10-11T12:00:03Z 1989 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8317 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
