Model Updating and Uncertainty Analysis for Creep of Clay

Many researchers have proposed various constitutive models for the purpose of capturing the complex physical mechanisms governing the creep behavior of soft soils. However, the more complex the model, the larger the number of associated uncertain paramete

Foreword

The development of numerical simulations in geomechanics has promoted the construction of advanced constitutive models for soils. However, the limitations of available methods for model class selection and parameter identification make it difficult to efficiently apply these advanced models in practice. The selection of constitutive model affects simulation results, leading to different engineering decisions, which raises the problem of safety, economy, and risk in geotechnical engineering. Therefore, the influence of the choice of constitutive model on decision-mak
