This study provides a comprehensive exploration of the utilization of scrap tires in
geotechnical engineering, focusing on their applications, mechanical behavior …

Various constitutive formulations have been developed over the years to reproduce the
cyclic resistance of sands. A common challenge for existing models is the accurate …

We developed a 2D discrete element model to simulate shearing response of elongated
round and angular particles. Model was calibrated and validated by comparing numerical …

As a hydraulic lifting pipeline structure widely used in deep-sea oil, gas transportation, and
sediment dredging projects, the pipeline configuration is related to the improvement of …

Understanding the response of sand to drained cyclic loading is relevant to the design of
abutments of integral bridges and foundations of wind turbines among other applications. In …

This study investigates the influence of micro-scale entities such as inherent and induced
fabric anisotropy on the stress–strain behaviour of granular assemblies. In tandem with this …

This paper aims to develop an improved CRR-V s1 characterization model for soil
liquefaction evaluation for binary mixtures via a series of DEM simulations of drained …

In this study, a re-visit of existing laboratory tests was carried out to study the relationship
between the liquefaction resistance (CRR) and the small-strain shear modulus (G max) of …

Shale anisotropy characteristics have great effects on the mechanical behaviour of the rock.
Understanding shale anisotropic behaviour is one of the key interests to several geo …

The hollow cylinder apparatus (HCA) is capable of achieving non-proportional stress paths
and has been extensively employed to replicate stress paths with rotating principal stress in …
