Abstract: To explore the effect of the joint contact area and temperature on the dynamic property of rock joints and wave propagation in granite rockmass, an impact test of a jointed granite specimen was conducted with a split–Hopkinson ...

Abstract: Soil has spatial variability, which means that soil properties at different locations are different but correlated. To represent the spatial variability of soil surrounding a pile, the random field method (RFM) is usually ...

Abstract: In the random field model’s consideration of the spatial variability of soil, soil properties at different locations play different roles in the reliability analysis of the foundation. Investigating the importance distribution ...
