When a material is subjected to cyclic loading, there are changes in the material's
geomechanical behavior that need to be known and characterized for a safe design. To this …

The shakedown study for determining plastic shakedown limit is desirable for preventing
geotechnical infrastructure failure under cyclic loads. The plastic shakedown limit is …

To investigate the static and dynamic characteristics of rubber–sand composite soil (RS soil)
reinforced with cement, a series of triaxial compression tests and resonant column tests was …

Due to the constraints associated with the scale of laboratory apparatus, scaled tests are
typically used to estimate the mechanical properties of prototype rockfill materials. However …

Granular geomaterials under different loading conditions manifest various behaviors, such
as hysteresis. Understanding their hysteretic behavior and deformation characteristics is the …

Soil cyclic degradation is a serious issue that should be considered in engineering design
and maintenance. The hysteretic response causes strength degradation and excessive …

Poisson's ratio, besides its transverse–axial strain ratio definition, also plays a significant
role in traditional elastic theory as an elastic constant. However, this elastic role of Poisson's …

When a material is subjected to cyclic loading, there are changes in the material's
geomechanical behaviour that need to be characterized for a safe design. For unbounded …

The discrete element method (DEM) is widely used to investigate the micromechanical
behavior of granular materials. The accuracy of numerical modelling using this method …
