The present paper proposes a kinematic hardening model with a memory surface to more
accurately reproduce cyclic hardening and the behaviour of saturated granular soils …

Low-amplitude repetitive drained loading may hinder the long-term performance of
engineered and natural systems. This study examines the volumetric and shear response of …

Sand–rubber mixtures used in transportation infrastructure experience repetitive loading.
Hence, in this study, the mixtures of rigid sand particles and soft tire chip particles with two …

This study explores the effects of fines fraction, particle shape, and size ratio on the long-
term response of sand-silt mixtures with fines fraction FF= 0-to-100% during K o-loading …

Sediments experience shear and volumetric strains during freeze–thaw cycles.
Measurements during globally drained and undrained cycles under constant deviatoric …

In recent years, growing investigations have explored temperature effects on the mechanics
of sands, unveiling notable deformations caused by individual and multiple thermal cycles …

Granular materials subjected to cyclic loading are characterized by changes in their shear
modulus, pore water pressure, and volume. These changes occur when the amplitude of the …

Soft viscoelastic biological products such as biopolymers and biofilms have recently
garnered significant interest as alternative biogrout materials for ground improvement …

The prediction of soil response under repetitive mechanical loadings remains challenging in
geotechnical engineering applications. Modeling the cyclic soil response requires a robust …

Geostructures experience repetitive load cycles, which gradually affect their long-term
performance. This thesis explores the long-term response of soils subjected to mechanical …
