Analytical Methodology to Determine Thermally Induced Soil Deformation From Laboratory Data
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Experimental laboratory investigations underlie most of the knowledge about the mechanics of soils under non‐isothermal conditions and their thermally induced deformation. Despite advances, the understanding of thermally induced deformation of soils remains inconsistent, hindering the development of a coherent framework that can advance ...

HOW TO BENEFIT FROM EARTHQUAKES
e-Zbornik. Elektronički Zbornik Radova Građevinskog FakultetaEarthquakes are natural events and it is quite easy and beneficial to convert them to wealth (national asset) rather than catastrophe. The earthquakes exert their catastrophe on the buildings/structures founded in soil grounds. There is not even a single

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Integrating Grain to Ground Motion Data for Critical Rock Bridge and Slope Failure Analysis
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rock masses can fail catastrophically with little warning, yet their stability depends on hidden internal connections that channel forces and localise damage. Among these, rock bridges–a “known unknown” in slope mechanics–lock fractured rock and control how failure unfolds, but their concealed geometry and uncertain strength obscure where and ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, the dependencies of granular soil behaviour on particle crushing and fabric anisotropy are formulated within a novel model based on bounding surface plasticity theory enriched by the non‐stationary critical state line (NCSL) concept.

Rearrangement Towards Stability: Plastic Shakedown in Granular Materials Under Thermal Cycles
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Granular materials are routinely subjected to thermal cycling due to natural and anthropogenic phenomena. Despite the ubiquity of this occurrence and its relevance for science, engineering, and technology, the long‐term thermo‐mechanical response of granular materials to repeated heating and cooling remains poorly understood.

Geotechnics and Heritage. Historic Towers
, 2017 Experience gained over the years proves the exposure of cultural heritage to a variety of geotechnical risks. This poses the problem of conceiving and implementing remedial measures preserving that immaterial value represented by the integrity of the ...

An Open Database of Lunar Regolith and Simulants Properties
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lunar regolith, the layer of unconsolidated material covering the Moon's surface, is central to the science and technology developed for the Moon, notably related to in‐situ science investigations, resource utilization, surface infrastructure, and mobility systems.

Particle‐Scale Mechanics of a Regolith‐Type Soil
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The existing studies have reported that the surface of Mars shows the presence of materials having igneous origin, including basalt and regolith‐type coarse soils. These findings are affected by significant uncertainties and, therefore, the selection of simulants for various exploration applications, including surface mobility of rovers ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.
