Lower bound shakedown analysis in geotechnics

The paper describes some recent developments in the application of lower bound shakedown analysis to geotechnical problems. The theoretical basis of shakedown analysis is briefly reviewed along with the necessary finite element and optimization procedures. In terms of applications, the primary focus is on pavement design which is discussed in some detail.
