Quasi-1D Deformation Modelling of a TSF Under Undrained Loading

Felipe Lopez Rivarola, Alejo Sfriso, Kevin Bernardo, Nicolás Tasso

In this paper, the stage construction of the TSF, p’ – e evolution, self-weight stability, and its pushover stability is analysed for a quasi-1D column. The NorSand constitutive model (Jefferies, 1993) implemented in PLAXIS 2D® is used.
