Abstract: Incorporating the increase of shear modulus with depth

Abstract: From the consideration of energy balance at collapse, stability factors were computed for soil slopes with both associated and nonassociated flow rules. The effect of the pore water pressure was also incorporated. The ...

Abstract: The computations of the bearing capacity of foundations have generally been

Abstract: To solve plane strain and axisymmetric stability problems in geomechanics, a second-order cone programming (SOCP)-based upper-bound (UB) finite-element limit analysis (FELA) formulation is presented. The formulation ...

Abstract: An approach has been proposed to assess the quality of the dispersion plot extracted from the dispersion image obtained based on the multichannel analysis of the surface waves (MASW) technique. The variation of the quality ...

Abstract: A series of spectral analyses of surface waves (SASW) tests were conducted on a cement concrete pavement by dropping steel balls of four different values of diameter (

Abstract: The vertical uplift resistance of long pipes buried in sands and subjected to pseudostatic seismic forces has been computed by using the lower-bound theorem of the limit analysis in conjunction with finite elements and ...

Abstract: Bearing capacity factors because of the components of cohesion, surcharge, and unit weight, respectively, have been computed for smooth and rough ring footings for different combinations of

Abstract: The lower-bound finite elements limit analysis in combination with semidefinite programming (SDP) has been used to solve stability problems involving a modified Hoek-Brown (HB) yield criterion with the exponent α=0.5. In ...
