“…a local concentration of plastic solid deformations in narrow bands of finite width called shear bands) in water-saturated or partially saturated geomaterials has been modelled in recent years by developing bi-or threephase porous media models, e.g. by Rudnicki and Rice (1975), Vardoulakis (1986), Shuttle and Smith (1990), Chambon et al (1994), Schrefler et al (1995), , Gawin et al (1998), Ehlers and Volk (1999), Zhang et al (2001), Borja (2004), Ehlers et al (2004), Mira et al (2004), Liu et al (2005), Sanavia et al (2006), Stankiewicz and Pamin (2006) among others.…”
