Abstract: This paper presents a numerical scheme for a solid–fluid coupled discrete-element method (DEM) that takes into consideration solid deformation and pore pressure generation and dissipation. Analytical solutions of conventional ...

Abstract: This paper presents a critical state constitutive model for cemented sand. The model uses a single capped yield surface as a function of the void ratio, confining pressure, preconsolidation pressure, and stress ratio at ...

Abstract: One strategy to deal with unauthorized groundwater withdrawals by farmers is to impose penalties. Because farmers’ over-exploitation is subject to social, economic, cultural, and agricultural characteristics of the region, ...
