High water contents and poor compaction during construction have been reported to cause
severe embankment damage during earthquakes. In this paper, a fully coupled soil-water-air …

During their typical design working life, structures are subjected to multiple sequential
earthquakes that are divided into clusters of mainshocks and aftershocks. In consequence …

The increasing importance of performance-based earthquake engineering analysis points
out the necessity to assess quantitatively the risk of liquefaction of embankment-type …

Strain localization has been the subject of extensive theoretical and numerical studies over
the last four decades. The static and dynamic strain localization in both dry and water …

A viscoplastic model is presented for creep and strain rate behavior of soils with particular
reference to capturing drained, undrained, primary, and tertiary creep. The model is …

A numerical model based on the theory of mixtures is proposed for the nonlinear large
deformation and failure analysis of river embankments subjected to large earthquakes. The …

Abstract The 2004 Niigata-ken Chuetsu Earthquake in Japan caused serious damage to
embankments. Considerable damage occurred in mountainous regions, and the recorded …

Numerical methods are very powerful tools for use in geotechnical engineering, particularly
in computational geotechnics. Interest is strong in the new field of multi-phase nature of …

The increasing importance of performance-based earthquake engineering analysis points
out the necessity to assess quantitatively the risk of liquefaction. In this extreme scenario of …

A bounding surface viscoplasticity constitutive model is developed for describing the time-
dependent stress-strain behaviour of fully saturated and unsaturated soils. The proposed …
