Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding the behavior of granular materials under neutral loading can provide valuable insights into the fundamental principles that govern their responses and aid in developing sophisticated constitutive ...

Abstract: AbstractSoil grounds serving as primary support for traffic loads are often subjected to multidirectional cyclic shear loading and are particularly vulnerable to suffusion during extreme weather conditions. This study uses ...

Abstract: Abstract An upper-bound limit analysis is proposed to determine the failure mechanism and bearing capacity of strip footings on soil exhibiting anisotropy in both cohesion and friction. The failure mechanism consists of a ...

Abstract: AbstractWater-saturated clays are vulnerable to unstable creep if subjected to a relatively high shear stress, a phenomenon known as creep rupture for solid geomaterials and viscosity bifurcation for clay suspensions. By ...
