Abstract: The Hoek–Brown failure criterion has been widely applied to predict the strength of rock masses, demonstrating its relevance in diverse geotechnical contexts. This paper presents a novel 3D numerical implementation of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel finite-element limit analysis formulation employing Bishop’s strength criterion—an anisotropic model designed specifically for soils loaded under undrained conditions. The proposed approach ...

Abstract: This paper presents the analysis of the anomalies of external door and window frames, based on the inspection of 295 frameworks, in a total of 96 buildings in various locations in Portugal. With these inspections it was ...

Abstract: In this study, the authors investigated an approach to calculate the standardized streamflow index (SSI), which allows accurate spatial and temporal comparison of the hydrological conditions of a stream or set of streams. ...
