Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to develop a unified elastoplastic model for describing both monotonic and cyclic behaviors of natural structured clay–structure and crushable sand–structure interfaces based on the bounding ...

Abstract: Different features, such as rotational hardening and nonassociated flow, have been added to the classic modified cam-clay (MCC) model. However, there is little knowledge about their role and importance in simulating in ...

Abstract: Previous plasticity models for predicting anchor kinematics under eccentric loading in clay are mostly rigid plastic. They may produce inaccurate outcomes in some conditions. This paper presents an elastoplastic model to ...

Abstract: Drive-in storage racks, made of cold-formed steel, are the main racking system used in industry for storing goods. The storage space utilization of drive-in racks is high at the price of the weak downaisle stability. This ...

Abstract: A distinct feature of overconsolidated (OC) clays is that their dilatancy behavior is dependent on the degree of overconsolidation. Typically, a heavily OC clay shows volume expansion, whereas a lightly OC clay exhibits ...

Abstract: At the end of the World Trade Organization transition period for China in 2006, the foreign project management consultancy sector entered a new era. Massive construction project development in China created a huge demand ...

Abstract: The stress–dilatancy relationship is a key point to capture the evolution of both strains and excess pore pressure during an undrained creep of natural soft clay. This paper focuses on investigating the stress dilatancy ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on nonlinear creep behavior with a consecutively decreasing creep coefficient

Abstract: AbstractStudies of the community structures of bacteria in marine aerosols of different particle sizes have not been reported. Aerosol samples were collected using a six-stage bioaerosol sampler over the Bohai Sea, the ...
