An Elastic Visco-Plastic Model for Soft Soil and Its Application to FEM

A new elastic visco-plastic model for soft soil is presented. The model is incorporated with a finite element program to predict and analyze the consolidation deformation for a soft-soil foundation. The result from the present model is in better agreement with the observation than that from the Duncan-Chang's E-ν model. The present model can also be used for the prediction of post-construction settlement of an embankment with a soft-soil foundation.
