Abstract: Even though the mechanical behavior of granular soil–rubber mixtures has attracted significant attention and promising applications in geotechnical engineering, less attention has been paid to the influence of creep and ...

Abstract: In this study, the coupled influence of contact time and rate of loading on the interface behavior of quartz grains was examined experimentally. The rate of loading is considered not just a tangential (or sliding) rate but ...

Abstract: The influence of gradation and particle shape on the small-strain Young’s modulus of dry sands is investigated through a comprehensive set of resonant column tests in the flexural mode of vibration. Experiments are performed ...

Abstract: Understanding the evolution of dynamic properties of sand subjected to induced anisotropy is indispensable for an accurate seismic analysis of geostructures. In this study, several bender element and hollow cylinder ...
