Initial and time-dependent deformations in marl around small circular opening
Abstract
The basic property of standard laboratory tests is that they are conducted on samples of simple geometry and stress state. It is a common practice to use material parameters obtained from such tests in numerical models that describe more complex stress-dependent phenomena. For this reason, numerical modelling results have to be verified either through models or during construction of actual structures. The paper presents results of time-dependent deformations around the circular opening 10.8 cm in diameter, using the two-dimensional marl model measuring 60 x 60 x 10 cm
