In this paper, a thorough numerical study is conducted to rigorously evaluate the lateral
earth pressures exerted on the retaining walls backfilled with geosynthetic-reinforced soil …

Soil is a cross anisotropic particulate medium with different strengths in various directions;
this is primarily due to its geological deposition process and the very fact that particles …

Fabric anisotropy underpins the mechanical response of granular soils pertaining to a wide
range of practical geotechnical applications. This paper presents a multiscale computational …

The influence of liquefaction resistance and fabric anisotropy simulation capability in
constitutive models on site level seismic response analysis is analyzed through a series of …

Footing foundations are sometimes built on sloping grounds of natural sand which is highly
anisotropic. The anisotropic mechanical behaviour of sand can significantly influence the …

Natural slopes often exhibit tilted stratification with rotated transverse anisotropy in multiple
soil properties, including the mechanical (eg, friction angle φ and cohesion c) and hydraulic …

Soils are inherently anisotropic, which may significantly influence their mechanical behavior
and the performance of related geostructures. In this study, the response of strip footing on …

Many advanced constitutive models which can capture the strain-softening and state-
dependent dilatancy response of sand have been developed. These models can give good …

The strength anisotropy and strain softening of natural soil can significantly impact the
bearing capacity of shallow foundations on clay. In this article, we present a nonlocal …

The influence of the inherent fabric anisotropy of sand and its evolution on the footing
bearing capacity and failure mechanism has been modelled and analysed with a multiscale …
