A gradation-dependent hypoplastic model is developed to capture the mechanical behaviours of crushable sands. First, a gradation evolution law is proposed to describe the …
This paper proposes a new multi-surface plasticity model for the cyclic hardening of unsaturated granular soils crucial for assessing their resilience jointly under repeated …
This paper presents a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven tool designed to convert deflection test results into crucial soil parameters essential for quality assurance in …
This study introduces an advanced finite element model for the light weight deflectometer (LWD), which integrates contact mechanics with fully coupled models. By simulating LWD …
Chemical reactions occur in geotechnical, biological and synthetic porous media. Swelling and shrinkage phenomena can be observed in clays, shales and gels, when they are in …
The Industry 4.0 revolution signifies a pivotal transition in pavement technology, emphasising the integration of digital and physical systems to revamp traditional, empirical …
The present paper proposes a kinematic hardening model with a memory surface to more accurately reproduce cyclic hardening and the behaviour of saturated granular soils …

The existence of macropores acutely enhances the capacity of soil to conduct water, gas, and chemicals. The capacity of macropores to transport water extremely depends on their …
This paper proposes a novel solution for mitigating the stress overshooting effect arising from advanced soil plasticity models. Stress overshooting is one of the main sources of …
