This paper numerically examines the bearing capacity and failure mechanism of a shallow
strip foundation constructed above twin voids. The voids may refer to caves, caverns …

This paper describes the beneficial effects of multiple layers of rubber–sand mixture (RSM).
The plate load tests, using circular plate of 300 mm diameter, were performed at an outdoor …

This article presents the interface shearing behaviour of a granular soil layer in contact with
a bounding structure under motion. For this purpose, an elasto-plastic Cosserat continuum …

Recently, the authors have focused on the shear behavior of interface between granular soil
body and very rough surface of moving bounding structure. For this purpose, they have used …

In this article, the response of an interfacial layer developed along a particulate–continuum
interface is explored under two opposite normal confining constraints. To this end, a …

This article shows the outcomes of a systematic series of finite element (FE) calculations
relevant to the shear behavior of a particulate-continuum interface system under different …

Interests in localization and related instabilities in the field of geomechanics date back to the
JMPS paper of Rudnicki and Rice (1975)“Conditions for the localization of deformation in …

This paper numerically examines the bearing capacity and failure mechanism of a shallow
strip foundation constructed above twin voids. The voids may refer to caves, caverns …

Les milieux granulaires sont très étudiés depuis des décennies mais la description de
l'ensemble des comportements observés de ces matériaux reste une grande question …

This research is focused on the numerical investigations of the evolution of shear bands and
polar effects within a planar layer of cohessionless and dry sand material under shearing. In …
