The disturbed state concept (DSC) is widely used to capture the cracking, breaking, heating,
softening, and hardening behaviors of geomaterials. In this study, a constitutive model for …

A simple 2D model for the evaluation of the seismic performance of large scale unreinforced
masonry structures in-plane loaded is presented. The approach is fully two dimensional and …

This paper presents a unified model for characterizing the behavior of masonry structures.
The model is based on the Disturbed State Concept (DSC) with modified hierarchical single …

In this investigation, polymer concrete (PC) with three different epoxy resin contents,
ordinary cement concrete (OCC), lightweight concrete (LWC), and lime-mortar soil (LMS) …

Despite growing demands for structures in water transportation tunnels, underground
installations, subsurface dams, and subterranean channels, there is limited field knowledge …

The scaled boundary finite-element method (SBFEM) coupled with the finite-element
method (FEM) is increasingly being employed to study soil–structure interaction (SSI) …

A novel macro-model for the analysis of masonry shear walls reinforced with steel bar grids
is presented. The model is based on the so-called disturbed state concept (DSC), with a …

The nonlinear finite element method and serendipity eight nodes element are used for
determining ground surface settlement due to excavation of a tunnel. A modified generalized …

This study addresses the changes in acceleration, pore water pressure and Fourier
spectrums of different types of seismic waves with various amplitudes via large-scale …

A nonlinear finite element method with eight-noded isoparametric quadrilateral elements is
used to predict the behavior of unreinforced masonry structures. The disturbed state concept …
