Micromechanism Underlying Nonlinear Stress-Dependent K0 of Clays at a Wide Range of Pressures
In order to investigate the mechanism underlying the reported nonlinear at-rest coefficient of earth pressure, K0 of clays at high pressure, a particle-scale model which can be used to calculate vertical and horizontal repulsion between clay particles has been proposed. This model has two initial st...
