Lower and upper limits of layered-soil strength
Abstract
This paper presents an approach to determine the lower and upper limits for failure criteria of layered soils that have periodic structure. Particular functional forms are proposed for multilayered soil samples consisting of two periodic constituents. It was found that the upper limit of failure criterion is uniquely determined by volume fraction and strength characteristics of each constituent, whereas the lower limit is affected by the …
