A non-linear dynamic finite element analysis

A two-dimensional finite element method of analysis for predicting the stress and permanent displacements of earth structures to seismic loading is presented. The inelastic behavior of the soil is modelled by an incremental linear approach in which the tangent shear modulus is varied with the level...
