Abstract: Rockfill strength parameters are important indicators of the stability of a rockfill dam slope. Therefore, a rational representation of the distribution characteristics of these parameters is extremely important to accurately ...

Abstract: In the framework of generalized plasticity theory, this paper presents a new elastoplastic model to characterize complicated softening/hardening and dilation/contraction behaviors of sand–gravel composites in triaxial ...

Abstract: A novel approach for nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis is proposed and illustrated with nonlinear building structures subjected to mainshock–aftershock sequences. First, a stochastic seismic sequence model with stochastic ...

Abstract: The evaluation of slope stability reliability under the condition of incomplete probability information is one of the most popular issues in geotechnical engineering. The key difficulty in the issue lies in how to effectively ...
