Abstract

This paper presents a procedure to estimate soil parameters from laboratory test results using inverse analysis. The procedure is applied to calibrate the Modified Cam-Clay parameters using compression triaxial test results from Chicago clay samples.Afinite element code (JFEST) and an inverse analysis algorithm (UCODE) are combined to minimize the difference between the numerical prediction of the stress-strain response and the experimental data.
