Abstract: The cavity-contraction method has been used for decades for the design of tunneling and prediction of ground settlement by modeling the cavity-unloading process from an in situ stress state. Analytical solutions of undrained ...

Abstract: Based on the experimental background of 75 true triaxial compression tests conducted on cubic specimens, a plasticity constitutive model for hybrid steel-polypropylene fiber-RC (HFRC) is developed in this study, aiming to ...

Abstract: Rubber–sand mixture (RSM), an environmentally friendly material, has been used in the pavement subgrade. Previous studies investigate the cyclic response of RSM with various rubber contents by triaxial devices under traffic ...

Abstract: Stress–strain responses of Leighton Buzzard sand are investigated under bidirectional shear. The tests are conducted by using the variable direction dynamic cyclic simple shear (VDDCSS). Soil samples are anisotropically ...

Abstract: This paper describes a numerical study of drained pressuremeter tests in sand using a one-dimensional finite-element method in conjunction with an advanced soil model MIT-S1, and input parameters corresponding to Toyoura ...

Abstract: The effect of particle shape and particle crushing on the results of cone penetration testing (CPT) of granular materials in a calibration chamber has been studied using three-dimensional discrete element modeling. Simulating ...

Abstract: The coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K) for normally consolidated clays increases nonlinearly with increasing consolidation pressure toward a steady value under high pressure rather than remaining constant. Analytical ...
