Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Gassy Soils

  • Chapter
Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences

Part of the book series: Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research ((NTHR,volume 19))

Abstract

The paper presents a model describing the mechanical behaviour of gassy soil under drained and undrained conditions. Special attention was devoted to the mechanical behaviour of gassy soil during undrained unloading. Simulation results show that for gassy soil a decrease of the total stress under undrained conditions induces a decrease of the shear soil resistance.
