Abstract: In this study, cyclic triaxial tests were performed on Zipingpu gravel, and they were followed by a discrete element study that was designed to investigate the stress-dilatancy relationship of gravelly soils under cyclic ...

Abstract: This paper suggests that the idea of the breaking strength of the brittle material scale being equal to the length scale was abandoned in the dynamic model brittle failure experiments. The concept of the failure load ...

Abstract: One of the most important features of soil behavior is the dependence of stress path. A series of large-scale triaxial compression tests was conducted to investigate the effect of stress path on critical state and particle ...

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 ...

Abstract: In undrained triaxial tests, membrane penetration varies with the change of effective confining pressure. Membrane compliance correction is a necessary step to accurately obtain the dynamic characteristics of soils in ...
