Abstract: Coarse-grained materials (CGMs), including gravel, ballast, and rockfill material, exhibit a complicated stress-strain-volume change behavior, which is state dependent and influenced by considerable particle breakage even ...

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effects of antislide piles and cohesion anisotropy on seismic displacements of three-dimensional (3D) layered slopes. A discrete mechanism generated by the point-to-point technique is ...
