Abstract: Traditional plasticity models of granular soils are usually established on different loading and plastic potential surfaces. This paper presents a nonassociated bounding-surface model by incorporating a fractional-order ...

Abstract: Particle morphology is a basic inherent feature of granular materials that plays an important role on their macroscopic behaviors. A multiscale description of particle morphology is generally developed from three levels: ...

Abstract: Nowadays most hollow cylinder apparatus (HCA) in the world can only apply two dynamic loads, namely the axial load

Abstract: To improve the efficiency of safety management, it is important to classify massive and complex construction site safety hazard texts in large-scale projects. High-precision safety hazard text classification is a lengthy ...

Abstract: Conventional vacuum electroosmosis consolidation theory tends to assume that the electric permeability coefficient remains unchanged or attenuates linearly. In contrast, the sediment from environmental dredging projects ...

Abstract: Skeleton curve-guided five-axis sweep scanning is an emerging surface inspection technique with marvelous inspection efficiency. The precondition of applying such a technique to a complex surface is to extract the skeleton ...

Abstract: The cumulative plastic deformation of a foundation associated with traffic loading causes subgrade instability, and eventually, failure of retaining structures. In the present study, hollow torsional shear tests were ...
