Granular materials are predominantly plastic, incrementally nonlinear, preparation-dependent, and anisotropic under shear. Nevertheless, their static stress distribution is well accounted for, in the whole range up to the point of failure, by a judiciously tailored isotropic nonanalytic elasticity theory termed granular elasticity. The first purpose of this paper is to carefully expound this vi...

The erosion of limestone and calcarenite ridges that existed parallel to the Mediterranean shoreline forms calcareous sand (CS) formation at surface layer Egypt’s northern coast. CS is often combined with broken shells which are considered geotechnically problematic due their possible crushability relatively high compressibility. In this research, samples collected from a site along coast Egypt...

Previous experimental and numerical studies indicate that the stress state of sand at a specific depth changes significantly during installation displacement pile. At given level, horizontal in increases as end pile approaches reduces continues to penetrate go past element. This reversal, together with large-strain deformation shaft, may cause reduced accuracy calculation capacity. In this pape...

The assessment of pile drivability is the premise successful installation, and completely weathered (CW) rock may bring risk refusal. This paper presents a case driving refusal that occurred in CW gneiss layer. physical mechanical properties are analyzed based on results laboratory test, cone penetration test (CPT), standard (SPT). By comparing with those from intact gneiss, layer this study wa...

The article describes the main types of technological schemes for working out flooded strata sand deposits using hydraulic shovel excavators. analysis scientific and technical literature describing experience excavators in open-pit mining, including pits extraction construction sand, has been carried out. proposed scheme is that development reserves without preliminary water reduction by a exca...

Granular Pile Anchor (GPA) considers one of the solution foundation techniques, designed to mitigate the lifting of the sole resulting from expansive soils. This study work is to investigate the uplift movement response of (GPA) in expansive soil. The laboratory tests have been performed on an experimental. The effects of several parameters, such as length (L) of (GPA) and diameter (D), the thi...

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) in the simulation of static packings allows one to investigate the behavior of granular materials by modeling the forces on the particle level. No macroscopic parameters like the angle of repose enter the simulation, but they can be extracted as a result of the particle properties like friction, roughness or shape. One of the issues of static packings recently ...
