The theoretical basis of classic geotechnical engineering stability problems is limit analyis thereom. Incremental loading finite elements and strength reduction finite elements were put forward by Zienkiewicz in 1975 and the methods are called by the authors Limit Analysis Finite Elements (abbreviation LAFE for short). It has been successfully applied to slope engineering, and used to bearing ...

In this paper, an incremental technique based on cyclic loading is developed to implement shakedown analysis for soils in the framework of elastic-plastic analysis without utilization of the classical shakedown theorems. A finite element model together with the use of ABAQUS is established for soil structures subjected to cyclic loads, where the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion with associated plas...

buckling instability is the most important factor at columns failune. icauses large deflection and mostly is analysed by first yield criterion. due fo some difficulties in application of the criterion, soecially in inelastic columns, a new method, namely geometric criterion is introduced in this paper to improve the buckling analysis of real columns. in this research project a number box- secti...

In this study, the well-established pseudo-static approach along with horizontal slices method (HSM) is employed to investigate seismic internal stability of geosynthetic-reinforced earth slopes. Previous simple HSM analyses were based on a primary assumption stating that normal inter-slice forces are exerted mid-length sections. However, simplifying could give rise substantial errors in calcul...

This study aims to investigate the utilization of recycled textile waste fiber (RTWF) as reinforcement in cementitious lightweight composite mortars. The effect RTWF percentage on mortar (CLCM) consistency, plastic and dry set density, splitting tensile compressive strength was measured. In particular, structural mechanical properties hardened examined detail. Mohr-Coulomb Failure Criterion use...
