In spite of the fact that the effect of earthquake on earth dams has been widely studied during the past decades, the complicated behavior of such earth structures against different seismological characteristics is still unknown. Such ambiguities necessitate more accurate studies using more comprehensive computation tools to achieve new results describing the behavior of such structures subject...

This work is an extension of the time-resolved poro-elasto-plastic Mohr-Coulomb model by Fokker et al to include a more realistic constitutive model. Experiments on Slochteren sandstone revealed that inelastic deformation contributes significantly in compressive almost all stages loading and instigated development Cam-Clay-like reproduce behavior. was adopted for current extension. A typical be...

The shear strength parameters—the cohesion and the internal friction angle—are important parameters in calculating of soil, which is a mechanical property reflecting resistance soil to shearing. This article embeds angle results sandy loam measured using direct test relying on drawing Mohr–Coulomb line. Beside parameters, this contains colour tested at different moisture contents, spectrophotom...

The dynamic reaction of the natural type retaining wall is quite complex. Wall development and pressure rely upon soil underneath a backfill. greater part present knowledge has originated from model test numerical analysis. This paper aims to know behavior Also, under effect machine foundation, modeling used concerning method finite element. Two amplitudes foundation subjected three frequencies...

soil slopes are sometimes curved in plan rather than being straight. this curvature,especially when it is convex, decreases the bearing capacity of the slope. finite element methodhas been used here in this research to investigate the reducing effect of curvature on bearingcapacity of a slope. failure of soil has been assumed to be according to mohr-coulomb criteria;but the flow rule of the soi...

the effects of cementation and the physical properties of grains on the shear behavior of grouted sands are investigated in this paper. the consolidated-undrained triaxial shear behavior of three grouted carbonate sands with different physical properties, including particle size distribution, particle shape and void ratio, was studied. two sands were obtained from the north shores of the persia...
