Abstract: This study presents an energy dissipation analysis approach for cavity expansion problems in crushable granular materials under the high stress state. By assuming that the energy dissipation generated from cavity expansion ...

Abstract: There are a series of gentle Piedmont slopes with a unique special stratigraphic structure in Ningzhen area of China, which manifest as clay on the surface and the underlying being primarily gravel, exhibiting a binary ...

Abstract: Using the classical (linear) Mohr–Coulomb (M–C) failure criterion, the failure mechanism of slopes is commonly treated as a completely shear failure. However, the tension failure mechanism has also been commonly observed ...
