Abstract
Up to a very recent time, it has been difficult or impossible to perform exact analyses of any realistic field problem in soil mechanics or soil engineering even when a linearly elastic behavior was assumed for the soil involved. As a consequence, analyses in soil mechanics have been restricted to extremely idealized physical situations including linearly elastic behavior (uniform loads or rigid footings at the surface of semi-infinite elastic continua, for example) or to problems of plastic equilibrium. The latter also include greatly simplified geometries and an idealized material behavior. In part, because of these mathematical difficulties, little attention has been paid in soil mechanics to the deformational properties of soil other than at failure, or for the purpose of getting equivalent elastic moduli.
