Abstract: A stress hybrid finite element procedure is developed for nonlinear, elastic and elastic‐plastic, analysis of soil‐structure interaction including simulation of construction sequences. The procedure is compared with a ...

Abstract: A series of truly triaxial tests were performed on two sizes of a railroad ballast under different stress paths and with a constant (initial) field density. The results can permit development of nonlinear elastic and ...

Abstract: A new empirical scheme for simulating the nonlinear point resistance response of single piles in cohesionless soils is proposed. The pile‐soil system is idealized by using a one‐dimensional finite element technique. The ...

Abstract: A rate‐independent elastoplasticity constitutive model is developed to account for various factors, such as friction, stress path and history, and induced and initial anisotropy in the response of geological materials. A ...

Abstract: This paper presents an alternative definition of finite strains that can be considered as a new subset of Hill's general family of strain measures. The Lagrangian and Eulerian finite‐strain tensors are two extreme special ...
