Abstract: This study explores the elastoplastic deformational behavior of gravelly soils. A series of drained triaxial tests with controlled stress paths [conventional triaxial compression (CTC) and conventional triaxial extension ...

Abstract: In this study, a sequence of experiments using a shaking table instrument was undertaken to explore the dynamic resilience of slate foliation, encompassing both unpenetrated and completely penetrated foliation conditions. ...

Abstract: Understanding the shear strength and failure mechanism of a rock joint is essential in rock engineering. This study performed a series of direct shear tests and discrete element modelings on artificial joint specimens to ...
