The depths of open-pit mines have been increasing in the last few decades. This
transformation generates a vast amount of waste rock material per unit mining area …

Soil deposits may be subjected to preloading episodes due to different factors such as
previous earthquakes, excavations, refilling, compaction, construction of overlying …

A wide range of geotechnical structures founded in fine-grained soils are subjected to
complex cyclic loading scenarios. The prediction of their behavior has motivated the …

This article experimentally evaluates the influence of directional drained cyclic preloadings
on the subsequent undrained monotonic and cyclic response of Zbraslav sand. The cyclic …

The results of an experimental investigation on Malaysian kaolin under monotonic and cyclic
loading are presented. In the tests, a wide range of initial conditions was varied in order to …

This article presents a comprehensive experimental investigation on Zbraslav sand under
monotonic and cyclic loading. Initially, the material response at large strains was …

The study of cyclic loading on saturated natural clay deposits is of great interest for the
analysis of offshore and onshore structures. Recent experimental research in the field of …

The analysis of geotechnical problems involving saturated soils under cyclic loading
requires the use of advanced constitutive models. These models need to describe the main …

The Chilean copper mining industry generates large amounts of waste rock materials. These
structures must be designed, operated, and closed considering their physical stability …

This article evaluates the prediction capabilities and limitations of the ISA-hypoplasticity
constitutive model for sands in the simulation of liquefiable sloping ground dynamic …
