Abstract: Eccentric and concentric unconfined compression tests are conducted to examine the influence of strain gradients on the brittle failure of ice. Fresh‐water columnar‐grained ice specimens are tested at a temperature of

Abstract: Fresh‐water ice rubble was tested under proportional displacement rates in a plane‐strain apparatus. Stress‐strain relationships and values of the mobilized angle of internal friction were determined for a range of strain ...

Abstract: The current study introduces an extension for the multilayered improved applied element method to provide a tool for bonded prestressed concrete structures. In the new extension, a new layer has been implemented to represent ...
