Tangent modulus method – An original method to measure in-situ rock stress [PDF]
Abstract This paper proposed Tangent Modulus Method (TMM) which is an improved oriented core method to determine in-situ rock stresses. In this approach, the cylindrical specimens prepared along different directions from thick core samples were uniaxially compressed twice to a given stress level.

Tangent modulus method based on in-situ pressuremeter tests and its preliminary validation
The tangent modulus method is a method which is based on the plate loading tests to obtain the tangent modulus of the soil under different load levels, and uses the tangent modulus into the layer-wise summation method for calculating foundation ...

Tangent Modulus Method, Applicability to Three Types of Rock and Influence of Confining Pressure
The tangent modulus method was applied to pre-loaded cylindrical specimens of Shikotsu welded tuff, Inada granite and Kimachi sandstone. It was clarified that the tangent modulus method could be applied to the rocks. A positive correlation was observed between the preloading duration and the maximum delay time at which the preloaded stress was ...

Tangent modulus in numerical integration of constitutive relations and its influence on convergence of N-R method [PDF]
For the numerical solution of elasto-plastic problems with use of Newton-Raphson method in global equilibrium equation it is necessary to determine the tangent modulus in each integration point. To reach the parabolic convergence of Newton-Raphson method

p-y curve method based on tangent modulus
It is still a hot problem to calculate the force of laterally loaded piles in engineering. At present, the p-y curve method is mostly adopted in international engineering specifications. Generally speaking, soft soil is different from sandy soil.
