Abstract

In this paper a novel modelling procedure is proposed to estimate whole-life settlements of tolerably mobile sliding foundations. A new kinematic hardening-critical state-state parameter constitutive model, the Memory Surface Hardening model, is implemented in a one-dimensional analysis to predict accumulated vertical settlements under drained lateral cyclic loading. The Memory Surface Hardening model performance is compared with the Modified Cam Clay and Severn-Trent Sand models. The Memory Surface Hardening model is adopted to simulate available experimental data from centrifuge tests to predict the settlement of a sliding foundation at the final stable state (i.e. no further volume changes occur).
