A repository on elasto-viscous-swelling-plastic modelling of soils, with a focus on the behaviour after unloading. The models allow to model soil consolidation, viscous swelling and creep. Two models are incorporated:

An implementation of a consolidation model with numerical optimization to fit the model to test results. A collection of global and local optimization algorithms are applied, including a multi-start algorithm optimized for this type of problem.
