The field of biogeotechnics has emerged from the realization that processes intrinsic to
natural systems can provide new approaches and inspiration through which the efficiency …

Carbonatic rocks, such as calcarenites, are very often subject to damage processes, causing
a progressive degradation of their mechanical properties. In nature, in some cases, this …

The use of stress–deformation analyses to evaluate the characteristics of possible static
liquefaction events is rapidly becoming the norm for tailings dams exposed to such risk …

We describe the large strain implementation of an elasto-plastic model for structured soils
into G-PFEM, a code developed for geotechnical simulations using the Particle Finite …

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is an innovative bio-mediated soil
improvement technique that develops cementation within originally loose and potentially …

This paper examines the usefulness and challenges in using an advanced effective stress
constitutive model in random finite element study on the effect of spatial variability on global …

Nonlocal implicit gradient enhancements are widely used to suppress mesh dependency in
simulations involving strain localization. For example, nonlocality is often introduced through …

To investigate the effects of cement-soil around offshore wind farm rock-socketed steel pipe
monopile on the horizontal bearing capacity, a three-dimensional numerical model of clay …

Soil-Cement mixtures are artificially structured materials with stable fabric due to the
presence of artificial bonds. This type of materials is used in several geotechnical …

This paper proposes a constitutive model for cement-admixed soil based on the concept that
the effect of cementitious bonding can be accounted for by incorporating a cohesion term …
