Observation and Prediction of Field Behavior of an Embank- ment and a Braced Cut in Clay: Evaluating the State-of-the-Art

本研究对土壤性质进行了实地测量， 发展了土的本构模型， 土壤结构相互作用分析， 基础设计，如挡土墙、挡土墙和薄板 桩墙 该研究将建立模型的有效性， 数值分析方法通过进行现场测量之前， 在大型建筑活动期间和之后。 本研究 因此，该计划提供了一个评估 现场条件下的现行设计程序。

This research carries out field measurements of soil properties, develops constitutive modeling of the soils, and extends numerical analysis of soil structure interaction for site characterization and design of foundation such as retaining walls, embankments, and sheet pile walls. The study will establish the validity of the modeling and the numerical analyses methods by conducting field measurements before, during, and following a large construction activity. This research program, therefore, provides an opportunity to evaluate the adequacy of current design procedures in field conditions.
