Demanding a thorough knowledge of material behaviour and numerical modelling, site
characterisation and in situ test interpretation are no longer just basic empirical …

The definitive guide to the critical issue of slope stability and safety Soil Strength and Slope
Stability, Second Edition presents the latest thinking and techniques in the assessment of …

Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but
the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by …

Significant settlement and damage may occur due to liquefaction of soils beneath shallow-
founded buildings. The primary mechanisms of liquefaction-induced building settlement are …

The interpretation of in-situ geotechnical test data needs a unified approach so that soil
parameters are evaluated in a consistent and complementary manner with laboratory …

A three-dimensional discrete element model is used to investigate the effect of grain
crushing on the tip resistance measured by cone penetration tests (CPT) in calibration …

The sustainable management of coal slag, a prevalent solid waste byproduct resulting from
coal combustion, remains an enduring and paramount subject of investigation. This paper …

NCHRP synthesis 368 explores the current practices of departments of transportation
associated with cone penetration testing (CPT). The report examines cone penetrometer …

Abstract Models that introduce rolling resistance at the contact are widely employed in
simulations using the discrete element method (DEM) to indirectly represent particle shape …

A virtual calibration chamber was built using a three-dimensional model based on the
discrete-element method. The chamber was then filled with a scaled granular equivalent of …
