Abstract: The behavior of both flexible and rigid shafts socketed into rock and subjected to lateral loads and moments is studied. Parametric solutions for the load‐displacement relations are generated using the finite element ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical study of the dynamic compaction (DC) process, based on the finite element method, with the main attention on the role of water content on the soil response. Dynamic compaction is one of the ...

Abstract: A modified method is proposed for predicting the lateral displacements of the ground caused by installation of soil-cement columns. The method is a combination of the original method derived on the basis of the theory of ...

Abstract: The behavior of a rigid circular footing when subjected to inclined loading on cemented and uncemented calcareous sand is investigated. Results from inclined loading tests of a

Abstract: An exponential finite-element model for multiple-porosity contaminant transport in soils is proposed. The model combines three compartments for dissolved contaminants: a primary compartment of diffusion–advection transport ...

Abstract: The influence of the natural (or artificially induced) structure of a geomaterial on its compression behavior is investigated. An approach for modeling this influence for various structured geomaterials is proposed by using ...

Abstract: This paper presents simulations of the mechanical behavior of reconstituted and natural soils using a new model presented in a companion paper and referred to as the “Sydney soil model.” It is demonstrated that the performance ...

Abstract: In this paper a theoretical study of the behavior of structured soils, including both clays and sands, is presented. A new model, which is referred to as the “Sydney soil model,” is formulated within the framework of ...
