Abstract: Numerous studies have been carried out to characterize uncertainties of soil properties, and lots of multivariate databases have been compiled to make the characterization of uncertainties more realistic. However, when it ...

Abstract: A novel approach has been developed to predict the mechanical behavior of very coarse granular materials with a constitutive model, which considers both grain breakage and size effect. The behavior of granular assemblies ...

Abstract: Time integration with stress–strain updating is a key step for the application of elasto-viscoplastic models to engineering practice. Currently, the estimation robustness of algorithms is lacking, which poses difficulties ...

Abstract: Coupled hydromechanical finite-element modeling of granular soils, taking into account internal erosion, is computationally prohibitive. Alternative data-driven approaches require large data sets for training and often ...
