    • Analysis of Cavity Expansion in Sand 

      R. Salgado; M. F. Randolph (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      Cavity expansion analysis plays a significant role in modern soil mechanics. The analysis of many of the most important problems in the practice of geotechnical engineering (such as cone penetration testing, pile loading, ...

    • On the Displacements of an Elastic Half‐Space Containing a Rigid Inhomogeneity 

      A. P. S. Selvadurai (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      This article examines the problem of an isotropic elastic half‐space region that is reinforced with a rigid disc‐shape inhomogeneity and subjected to a uniform surface load of finite extent. The analysis of the axisymmetric ...

    • A Simplified Model for Pavement Drainage 

      Luther White; Musharraf Zaman (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      In this paper, we present a simplified model for pavement drainage system. The model accounts for the accumulation and flow of water through a drainable base and edge drain representing a porous medium. There is an inflow ...

    • Constitutive Modeling of a Schistose Rock in the Himalaya 

      A. Varadarajan; K. G. Sharma; C. S. Desai; M. Hashemi (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      Strain‐controlled triaxial tests have been conducted using servo‐controlled loading system on three schistose rocks from a hydropower project in the Himalaya. A constitutive model based on the disturbed state concept is ...

    • Analysis of Piled Raft Foundations Using a Variational Approach 

      Y. K. Chow; K. Y. Yong; W. Y. Shen (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      A variational approach for the analysis of piled raft foundations is presented. The raft and piles are both analyzed by the use of the principle of minimum potential energy. By representing the deformation of the piles and ...

    • DEM Simulation of Particle Damage in Granular Media — Structure Interfaces 

      Richard P. Jensen; Michael E. Plesha; Tuncer B. Edil; Peter J. Bosscher; Nabil Ben Kahla (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      Using the discrete element method (DEM) with clustering, a novel means of numerically modeling damage of particles is presented. Damage, such as grain crushing, is treated by allowing clusters to break apart according to ...

    • Analysis of a Powerhouse Cavern in the Himalaya 

      A. Varadarajan; K. G. Sharma; C. S. Desai; M. Hashemi (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      A powerhouse cavern in the Himalaya has been analyzed using the finite element method under various stages of excavation. A constitutive model based on disturbed state concept has been used to depict the strain softening ...

    • Granular Temperature 

      D. W. Smith (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      Granular materials consist of a large number of small particles arranged in a random way. However, while the geometrical organization of an individual particle assembly is complex, these materials can nevertheless be well ...

    • Effect of Particle Shape on Interface Behavior of DEM‐Simulated Granular Materials 

      Richard P. Jensen; Tuncer B. Edil; Peter J. Bosscher; Michael E. Plesha; Nabil Ben Kahla (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      This paper presents a detailed computational investigation of the effect of particle shape on the interface shear behavior of granular materials. The discrete element method (DEM) using clusters to model rough particles ...
