Abstract: The behavior of sand is characterized by dilatancy, an increase in overall volume as particles move over each other when the sand assembly is subjected to shear stresses. A stress-dilatancy model for sand in the cyclic ...

Abstract: A stress dilatancy model with embedded microstructural information, originally developed by the writers, is used to illustrate the pivotal importance of dilatancy and fabric on the behavior of sand. Fabric, as a second-order ...

Abstract: This review article is divided into three parts. Firstly, three soil/structure interaction problems are described in which strain is imposed on the soil caused by solar heating of the structures. ...
