Geofluids, 2021 The shear behaviour on the interface between soil and structure is a research hot point. Based on the RMT-150B rock mechanics test system, a series of high-stress direct tests were performed on the coarse sand under the condition of different moisture ...

Soil–Water–Structure Interactions
Geotechnics, 2023 Interactions between soil, fluids (e.g., water), and structures are intrinsic to most geotechnical problems. However, these can be extremely complex and further understanding is needed in this field.

A Study of the Behavior of Shell Footings using Finite Element Analysis [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2013 In this research, the conical shell foundation is investigated. The two components of the interacting system; the soil and the shell foundation, are modelled using the finite element method.

Thermomechanical behaviour of soils and soil-structure interfaces in thermo-active geo-structures
Symposium on Energy Geotechnics 2023, 2023 In recent years, the demand for sustainable, low carbon-emission energy solutions has risen, leading to an increased interest in shallow geothermal energy systems. These systems, such as ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems, harness the Earth's stable temperature at shallow depths as a heat sink and source of energy.

Developmental morphology of cover crop species exhibit contrasting behaviour to changes in soil bulk density, revealed by X-ray computed tomography. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Plant roots growing through soil typically encounter considerable structural heterogeneity, and local variations in soil dry bulk density. The way the in situ architecture of root systems of different species respond to such heterogeneity is poorly ...

The anisotropic preconsolidation of clay in modelling soil-structure-interface behaviour
, 2022 Contact models can be derived from existing soil models, due to similar structure-soil-interface and soil behaviour. In this work, an anisotropic preconsolidation surface from the existing anisotropic visco-hypoplasticity model is used to evaluate asymptotic shear stresses reached through undrained contact shearing.

Acta Geotechnica, 2023 AbstractThe effect of temperature on the monotonic and cyclic shearing response of a soil–structure interface is of critical importance for the application of thermal-active geo-structures. To investigate this, soils and soil–concrete interfaces were comprehensively tested with a temperature-controlled direct shear device under both fixed temperatures ...

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2013 The behaviour of the soil-structure interface is crucial to the design of a pile foundation. Radial unloading occurs during the process of hole boring and concrete curing, which will affect the load transfer rule of the pile-soil interface. Through large

Investigation of thermal effects on the saturated shear behaviour of a clayey sand-structure interface [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe mechanical behaviour of soil-structure interfaces at various temperatures plays a key role in predicting the performance of energy piles, such as their ultimate bearing capacity and settlement under heating and cooling.

Monte Carlo-based calibration and uncertainty analysis of a coupled plant growth and hydrological model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Computer simulations are widely used to support decision making and planning in the agriculture sector. On the one hand, many plant growth models use simplified hydrological processes and structures – for example, by the use of a small number of soil ...
