Abstract: Modeled rockfill materials consisting of rounded and angular particles obtained from two dam sites are subjected to drained triaxial tests using large size specimens. An elastoplastic constitutive model based on the disturbed ...

Abstract: A powerhouse cavern in the Himalaya has been analyzed using the finite element method under various stages of excavation. A constitutive model based on disturbed state concept has been used to depict the strain softening ...

Abstract: Strain‐controlled triaxial tests have been conducted using servo‐controlled loading system on three schistose rocks from a hydropower project in the Himalaya. A constitutive model based on the disturbed state concept is ...

Abstract: Two types of rockfill materials collected from seven sites are modeled and tested under triaxial loading. A constitutive model based on a disturbed state concept is used to characterize the behavior of modeled rockfill ...
