Abstract: A new simplified method is proposed to compute the active earth pressure acting on the backface of a rigid retaining wall undergoing horizontal translation. The effect of soil arching for cohesive backfill soil and friction ...

Abstract: Undrained cylindrical cavity-expansion solutions that were based on the modified Cam-clay model have been widely used to predict and interpret geotechnical problems, such as pile installation, and in pressuremeter tests ...

Abstract: In pile-reinforced dams and bank slopes, the antislide effect of piles and drawdown of reservoirs are two aspects that could significantly affect the slope stability. However, existing studies have incorporated these two ...

Abstract: In this research, the finite-element numerical software COMSOL Multiphysics is used to simulate the electric pulse rock-breaking process, and the novel numerical model takes into account the multiple fields of electrical, ...

Abstract: Frequently, the Mohr–Coulomb (M-C) yield criterion is used to determine slope stability. It offers an exaggerated, unreliable, and cautious assessment of the tensile strength of bonded materials, which are composed primarily ...
