Subgrade soil is sometimes modified with lime to improve strength. In this study, lime
modified soil (LMS) specimens are subjected to freezing–thawing cycles, the mechanical …

This paper presents a straightforward framework for developing failure envelopes
specifically tailored to the caisson foundations of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) under …

This article presents the interface shearing behaviour of a granular soil layer in contact with
a bounding structure under motion. For this purpose, an elasto-plastic Cosserat continuum …

As one of the constitutive features of the interface, the surface geometry has a significant
influence on the shear behavior. To investigate the influence of surface roughness on a …

Recently, the authors have focused on the shear behavior of interface between granular soil
body and very rough surface of moving bounding structure. For this purpose, they have used …

In this article, the response of an interfacial layer developed along a particulate–continuum
interface is explored under two opposite normal confining constraints. To this end, a …

Strain concentration at some material points that seem arbitrary-usually called strain
localization-is a very common phenomenon in granular media which affects the overall …

This article shows the outcomes of a systematic series of finite element (FE) calculations
relevant to the shear behavior of a particulate-continuum interface system under different …

This paper presents numerical investigations of strain localization in a plane granular layer
under monotonic shearing. For this purpose, Finite Element (FE) formulations in the Updated …
