the seismic performance of earth dams is usually studied by two dimensional space. However, considerable effort is required to estimate the overall three dimensional dynamic response of dams in a narrow canyon from pl...

In this paper, the case of a bulkhead in the Ravenna harbour is presented, where it was possible to monitor the behaviour of a steel sheet pile structure. this monitoring included inclinometer probes in the ground, to...

In this paper different stress update algorithms of constitutive models for partially saturated soils are compared on the basis of the Barcelona Basic Model (BBM). they include both explicit and implicit integration s...

the focus of the present paper is on the incorporation of soil variability into a design process. One possibility offers the full probabilistic method. For this purpose a deep knowledge on stochastic soil properties i...

Soil model parameters can be obtained from experimental data using genetic algorithms-based software. this paper highlights the efficiency of model calibration using this type of tool for the Modified Cam-Clay model. ...

Case records of progressive failure in Sweden and Norway shows excessive propagation of failure zones into horizontal ground accompanied by soil heave in the passive zone. According to static equilibrium analyses the ...

According to plasticity theory, when a frictional material is sheared, dilatancy will accompany sliding deformation, according to the 'associated flow rule', or 'saw-tooth' idealization of friction. Ho...

numerical analyses of tunnels in rock masses which exhibit a time dependent behaviour, such as in severely squeezing conditions, require the use of viscoplastic constitutive laws. Tunnel excavation needs to be modelle...

the ground reinforcement by Mixed Module Columns allows a high increase in bearing capacity and a reduction in settlement. With its high flexibility, the upper part of the Mixed Module Columns (CMM) can absorb most of...

Empingham dam is a 37m high earth fill embankment which was constructed in the UK in the early 1970's. the embankment was built on a brecciated Upper Lias Clay (ULC) foundation, of fill derived from it. the ULC is...
