Abstract: An energy approach previously developed as an alternative to the conventional dynamic pile-driving control methods (e.g.,

Abstract: A constitutive model for the stress‐strain‐pore‐pressure behavior of fluid‐saturated cohesive soils under dynamic loading is developed using the concept of bounding surface plasticity. The model adopts the joint invariants ...

Abstract: A constitutive model for the stress‐strain‐pore pressure behavior of saturated cohesive soils under both monotonic and cyclic loadings has been presented in the companion paper. The model has been implemented into a numerical ...

Abstract: A method involving the use of driven‐rod test in conjunction with the measurement of high‐strain test (HST) data is introduced as an in‐situ testing technique for the determination of Smith model parameters, including the ...

Abstract: Most of the rock medium possesses intrinsic grain orientation or preferred bedding and joint directions, thus requiring the use of at least transverse isotropy to describe its elastic behavior. This paper presents a series ...

Abstract: A simple method is proposed for determination of fracture energy of materials exhibiting quasi-brittle behavior during mode I cracking. A series of graphs showing the relationship between the nondimensional peak load and ...

Abstract: An anisotropic hardening plasticity model based on the concept of bounding‐surface plasticity is formulated for prediction of the three‐dimensional stress‐strain‐volume‐change behavior of sand. The model employs the ...

Abstract: An innovative bridge construction utilizing on-site posttensioned precast concrete beams that are compressed together with full depth grouted shear keys and transverse posttensioning is the subject of this paper. In ...

Abstract: Despite recent advances made in the wave‐equation‐based approach for pile‐driving control, at the time of writing, the dynamic formulas, such as the
