This paper presents a novel elastic-viscoplastic constitutive model for reproducing the time-
dependent behaviour of coarse-grained soil considering particle breakage, by integrating …

Over time, natural cracks within particles propagate under tensile stress, leading to the
delayed breakage of these particles, which significantly contributes to the time-dependent …

Under the high stress of a 300-m dam, the particle breakage patterns of rockfill material may
differ from those under low-stress levels. The existing studies on the particle breakage of …

Constructing on soft soil deposits is a geotechnical challenge, both in estimating soil
settlements and in predicting shear strength. This study consists of a numerical simulation of …

Masjed Soleyman rockfill dam, with a height of 177 m, has experienced significant
settlement during its construction, impoundment and operation stages. A possible …

Abstract The Longyang Reservoir is located on the first terrace of the Luo River, and its
length is 1.63 km. The geological conditions under the reservoir are complicated, and …

Some unsaturated soils present volumetric instability with moisture variation, under constant
stress. This paper presents results of an investigation on the behavior of a soil subjected to …

This study investigates particle breakage and cracks propagation of non-homogeneous
rockfill materials, particularly conglomerates, from a microscale perspective. The …

The mechanical behavior of silty sands is one of the crucial topics in the field of soil
mechanics. However, many studies have been conducted to determine the main features of …

In engineering works, especially in geological sciences, civil engineering and mining
engineering, before or after the construction of structures, there are cases where it is …
