The importance of using sophisticated interface models to obtain realistic numerical solutions of soil–structure interaction (SSI) problems has been recognised in recent decades. With this aim, various advanced interface models have been developed, which

CALCULATION OF SOIL DISPLACEMENTS DUE TO RETAINING WALL CONSTRUCTION
With regard to serviceability state deformations, diaphragm walls and slurry walls cause considerable soil deformations during trench construction. 3-dimensional finite element analyses are able to quantify these deformations.

Thermodynamically consistent gradient elasticity with an internal variable
The role of thermodynamics in continuum mechanics and the derivation of the proper constitutive relations is a discussed subject of Rational Mechanics. The classical literature did not use the accumulated knowledge of thermostatics and was very critical ...

EXPANSION OF A CYLINDRICAL CAVITY IN SAND
The paper presents numerical solution to the problem of the symmetric quasi-static large-strain expansion of a cylindrical cavity in sand. The boundary value problem is solved with the use of a constitutive equation of hypoplasticity calibrated for a ...

Complex Networks on a Rock Joint
A complex network approach on a rough fracture is developed. In this manner, some hidden metric spaces (similarity measurements) between apertures profiles are set up and a general evolutionary network in two directions (in parallel and perpendicular to ...

Infrared thermography reveals weathering hotspots at the Požáry field laboratory
Evaluating physical properties and mechanical parameters of rock slopes and their spatial variability is challenging, particularly at locations inaccessible for fieldwork.

The specific charge has been given as a function of the blastability index (BI) only in previous research, whereas fragment size is one of the attractive blasting results. The impacts of combination of the important factors such as fragment size, in-situ

THE CONSISTENCY CONDITIONS FOR DENSITY LIMITS OF HYPOPLASTIC CONSTITUTIVE LAW
The so called phase diagram of grain skeletons illustrates the range of possible void ratios between the pressure dependent bounds ei and et. It can be shown that in the framework of the actual hypoplastic model these bounds can be surpassed by ...

Refere-se brevemente o aparecimento e a evolução da mecânica das rochas como disciplina independente, e mencionam-se as suas afinidades com outras disciplinas. São apresentadas as motivações do rápido desenvolvimento do novo ramo da mecânica, citando-se exemplos típicos das suas numerosas aplicações no campo da engenharia e das geociências.
