Abstract: The undrained response of sand under complex loading conditions involving principal stress rotation (PSR) is of particular interest in practical engineering. Although this subject has been studied extensively through ...

Abstract: Multidirectional shearing of granular soils involves shearing more than one shear stress component, and thus may result in more-complex soil responses than unidirectional shearing. This study developed an advanced numerical ...

Abstract: Huge and critical structures, such as fuel storage tanks and nuclear power plants, are often built on dense sandy grounds, which may cause excessive plastic deformations under multidirectional cyclic shearing conditions ...
