The research development of rockfill materials (RFM) was investigated by a series of large-
scale triaxial tests. It is observed that confining pressure and particle breakage play …

Two types of rockfill materials collected from seven sites are modeled and tested under
triaxial loading. A constitutive model based on a disturbed state concept is used to …

Wetting deformation of the rockfill material, which is generated by particle sliding, breakage,
and rearrangement, plays a vital role in earth-rockfill dam deformation that determines the …

Modeled rockfill materials were obtained from nine sites (two riverbed and seven quarried)
from different projects in India and Nepal, and drained triaxial tests were conducted with …

A number of constitutive models exist to model behavior of granular material under cyclic
loading. Most of these models are useful to model soil behavior where the number of cycles …

This book provides readers with a comprehensive treatment of computer methods and
constitutive models that they can use for teaching, research, and solving a wide range of …

Many civil engineering projects, such as hydropower, irrigation, transportation and mining
projects, are under various stages of planning, design and construction in India. The …

The response of structure–foundation systems subjected to static, cyclic, or dynamic load
depends on the interaction between them. The behavior of such systems is strongly …

ABSTRACT A powerhouse cavern in the Himalaya has been analyzed using the finite
element method under various stages of excavation. A constitutive model based on …

Railway ballast forms a major component of a conventional rail track and is used to
distribute the load to the subgrade, providing a smooth running surface for the train …
