Abstract: Strain controlled uniaxial tensile and compressive tests of rolled compacted concrete (RCC) are conducted to establish the constitutive relationship of RCC. Complete stress-strain constitutive curves including strain-softening ...

Abstract: Based on the distinct element method, a numerical procedure is presented for simulation of creep behavior of jointed rock slopes due to excavation unloading. The Kelvin model is used to simulate viscous deformation of ...

Abstract: Based on the fundamental solutions due to Dirac’s δ function for transversely isotropic media, a numerical scheme for wave propagation in two-dimensional orthotropic media is developed within the boundary element method ...
