Abstract

The Mobilisable Strength Design (MSD) philosophy has been used in various applications related to underground construction, e.g. for analysis of deep foundation and retaining wall performance. MSD requires simple models for the stress-strain behaviour of soils. The use of a mobilisation factor on undrained strength to limit soil mobilisation was introduced in BS8002 in 1994. To assist with MSD calculations, the mobilisation strain framework (MSF) has been developed to allow geotechnical engineers to account for the non-linear behaviour of fine-grained soils in routine geotechnical design. In this paper, triaxial and pressuremeter test data from the London Clay deposit are analysed, using the MSF, to study the effects of anisotropy on both the mobilisation strains and non-linearity exponent. The implications for design of underground constructions are
also discussed.
