Statistical mechanics has provided powerful techniques to measure mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale and paved the way for bottom-up computational materials design. The introduction of such techniques in civil engineering applications, namely construction and geotechnical materials, remains limited to the elastic and fracture properties. This paper presents an atomistic approac...

Strength reduction finite element method (SRFEM) has been widely used to analyze the slope stability. Strength Reduction Factor (SRF) is yielded as the slope Factor Of Safety (FOS) when a running-though shear failure zone comes into being, in which the Plastic Element EQuivalent strain (PEEQ) is employed as the judgment of shear failure initiation in this paper. Moreover, the filed variable is ...

The Savage-Hutter (SH) avalanche model is a depth-averaged dynamical model of a fluid-like continuum implementing the following simplifying assumptions: (i) density preserving, (ii) shallowness of the avalanche piles and small topographic curvatures, (iii) Coulomb-type sliding with bed friction angle delta and (iv) Mohr-Coulomb behaviour in the interior with internal angle of friction phi> or =...

In the past twenty years there has been increasing attention given to the relationships between various dimensions of religiosity and mental health. By now several thousand studies have been conducted demonstrating positive associations between the two (Koenig, King and Carson 2012). On balance those who are more religious have better indices of mental health. The vast majority have been cross-...

The modulus of elasticity represents the soil stiffness; it was used to design and analyze foundation, slope stability, retaining structure, etc. It is one main input parameters in finite element method for analyzing behavior. scope this study evaluate correlation between (E) cohesion (c u ) remolded undisturbed samples clayey so can assess effect lateral confining pressure on elasticity. uncon...

a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

The movement profiles of field-based team sports players (e.g., rugby, soccer, and field hockey) fluctuate randomly depending on the game situation, and can include brief periods of high intensity, and longer periods of low intensity, movement. Several studies have investigated the match-play demands of field-based team sports (Gabbett, 2010; King et al., 2009; Mohr et al., 2003; Mohr et al., 2...
