Mechanical Behavior of Triaxial Geogrid Used for Reinforced Soil Structures
Geosynthetics-reinforced soil (GRS) structures have been widely used for the prevention of geological hazards. As a recently introduced product, the triaxial geogrid has been confirmed to provide improved performance due to the more stable grid structure.

Failure criterion for soft rocks considering intermediate principal stress
The significant differences between hard rocks (more brittle) and soft rocks (more ductile) may suggest the use of different failure criteria. A strength criterion for soft rocks that includes intermediate principal stress was proposed. The new criterion

Experimental methodology of study of damage initiation and development in textile composites in uniaxial tensile test [PDF]
Damage in textile composites is closely connected with the internal micro- and meso-geometry of the reinforcement, and reveals features, which are not present in the damage processes in classical laminates. This paper proposes a test sequence intended to

The meaning of effective soil parameters for determining of the bearing capacity of cohesive soils
The paper presents the analysis of the bearing capacity of cohesive soils, which was calculated based on the PN-EN-1997-1 methodology. This computations take into account the effect of pore water pressure on the soil strength parameters.

Evaluation of local damping effect on static and dynamic behaviors of granular materials using DEM modeling [PDF]
Frictional sliding may not be sufficient for the stability of a system. In almost all models in the Discrete Element Method (DEM), a local non-viscous damping is used to balance the system by applying a damping force with a magnitude proportional to the ...
