Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement
ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

Anisotropic creep model for soft soils
In this paper a new anisotropic model for time-dependent behaviour of soft soils is presented. The formulation is based on a previously developed isotropic creep model, assuming rotated Modified Cam Clay ellipses as contours of volumetric creep strain ...

Shear hyperbolic-type equivalent-time rheological model
In order to predict the rheological deformation under variable shear loadings, the Yin-Graham's equivalent-time method is used to derive a shear rheological model in the framework of continuum mechanics with thermodynamic internal variables. Firstly, the

Overshooting of Hypoplastic Models With Intergranular Strain: Manifestation, Implications and Remedy
ABSTRACT Intergranular strain extensions of hypoplasticity (IGS, ISA, GIS) are widely used to model small‐strain and cyclic soil behaviour. However, recent studies and our own simulations reveal that these models can exhibit stress overshooting not only under repeated small loading cycles but also during monotonic loading.

Mechanical Properties and Fracture Surface Morphology of Quartz Sandstone Under Triaxial Shear
To study the shear damage deformation characteristics of intact rock in rock slopes under three-dimensional compressive–shear stress conditions, 16 sets of triaxial shear tests were conducted on saturated intact fine-grained quartz sandstone with simple ...

Undrained Cyclic Shear Strength and Residual Shear Strain of Saturated Sand by Cyclic Triaxial Tests
ABSTRACT The undrained cyclic triaxial behaviour of saturated sand was studied using isotropically and anisotropically consolidated specimens. The strength and deformation under various combinations of initial static and cyclic shear stresses were considered. The cyclic strength was first discussed, and the residual shear strain was then investigated

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

The Progressive Development and Post-failure Behaviour of Deep-seated Landslide Complexes [PDF]
The concept of progressive shear surface development remains to be fully understood. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms of progressive shear surface development to failure, and the subsequent post-failure behaviour, of deep-seated landslide ...

Resin recovery and the use of computed tomography for quantitative image analysis of railway ballast
Over its life cycle, railway ballast undergoes changes to its fabric structure due to train loading and maintenance (e.g. tamping). Understanding these changes and linking them quantitatively to the loading regime has the potential to inform improved ...
