Influence of Different Cohesive Contact Models on Micro‐to‐Macro Response of Geomaterials: A DEM Investigation

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cohesive contact between soil particles plays a key role in the micro‐ and macroscale responses of geomaterials, but the contact behavior can vary widely depending on different contexts. As our understanding of cohesive contact and the use of appropriate models when simulating cohesive materials is still limited, this study provides a ...

Kinematic Limit Analysis of Roof Stability for Elliptical Tunnels in Rock Masses

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noncircular cross‐sections are commonly encountered in engineering practice; however, primary attempts to analyze roof stability have focused on circular and rectangular configurations. This study investigates the roof stability of elliptical tunnels with varying aspect ratios, employing two semi‐analytical approaches: piecewise linear and ...

Multi‐scale geophysical imaging of neotectonic fault activity in the northern Upper Rhine Graben, Germany

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract A comprehensive multi‐method geophysical strategy is used to investigate two faults in the Northern Upper Rhine Graben. Combining industrial 3D seismic data with our own 2D P‐ and S‐wave seismic, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ground‐penetrating radar (GPR), we created comprehensive subsurface images of the faults. 3D seismic data

Using Vp$V_p$ and Vs$V_s$ to characterize the spatial extent of shear strengthening under a longleaf pine

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree roots modify the elastic and mechanical properties of soil. High‐resolution seismic refraction surveys offer a novel, noninvasive approach to characterize how roots impact the elastic properties of soil beneath trees. This study presents two perpendicular profiles of P‐wave (Vp$V_p$) and transversely polarized S‐wave (Vs$V_s$) velocities ...
