Associate Professor Chuhan Deng from the School of Civil Engineering at Tianjin University chaired the lecture and introduced the guest speaker. In this lecture, Professor Jian-Hua YIN gave an introduction of settlement problems related to clayey soils, the causes and mechanisms of consolidation and creep, including but not limited to: (1) Hypothesis A and Hypothesis B methods for calculating consolidation settlements of clayey soils, (2) fully coupled methods with different Elastic Visco-Plastic Models for consolidation analysis of clayey soils, (3) a simplified Hypothesis B Method for one-layer and multilayers of clayey soils. and (4) a general simple method and verification, (5) conclusions and remarks on these methods presented. After the presentation, Professor Jian-Hua YIN and attendees engaged in a lively discussion on relevant issues. Teacher Ran Zhu presented a certificate to Professor Jian-Hua YIN and took a group photo for commemoration.
