Abstract: When designing embankments over soft soils, geotechnical engineers face many challenges. These include potential bearing failure, intolerable settlement, and global or local instability. Pile-supported embankments have ...

Abstract: As part of the quest to add the infraply scale to high-fidelity simulations of damage evolution in composites, a model of the phenomenon of delamination jumping across transverse plies is formulated by using nonlinear ...
