3. 2. Creep deformation of rockfill : Back analysis of a full scale test

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Veronica Gustafsson; [2015]
   Keywords : rockfill; creep deformation; back analysis; constitutive equation; full scale in situ test;

   Abstract : With the purpose of studying the mechanical properties of uncompacted rockfill and the creep deformation behaviour of rockfill under a load as well as finding a suitable method for estimation of creep deformation behaviour, a full scale embankment loading experiment was performed. The results of this experiment were then evaluated. READ MORE
