Abstract: A method is presented for the analysis of coupled consolidation in unsaturated soils due to loading under conditions of plane strain as well as axial symmetry. The method is based on the transformation of the governing ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the active landslides that are controlled by pore water pressure changes owing to groundwater fluctuations. These landslides are usually characterized by low displacement rate with deformations ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simplified approach for the analysis of shallow landslides triggered by heavy rainfalls, which occur after a rainy period. On the basis of some analytical solutions, this approach combines a simple ...

Abstract: The stiffness method originally proposed by Kausel and Roesset in 1981 for the analysis of wave propagation problems is used here to determine the deformations of horizontally layered systems subjected to static loads under ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations were carried out to assess the use of hydrogen in a gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine. Injection of small amounts of hydrogen (up to 27% on energy basis) in ...

Abstract: In this note, the interaction factors for the analysis of axially loaded pile groups are calculated using a procedure that makes use of the stiffness matrices for the study of wave propagation problems involving layered ...

Abstract: A method of practical interest is presented in this study for predicting shallow landslide triggering due to expected rainfall scenarios. The proposed approach is based on some closed-form expressions derived using ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the behavior of piles subjected to inclined compressive loads. Some numerical results are first presented to document the influence of the load inclination on the pile response to high loads capable ...
