Natural soils are usually heterogeneous and characterized with complex microstructures.
Sand–clay mixtures are often used as simplified soils to investigate the mechanical …

Wind energy is one of the most sustainable and renewable resources for power generation.
Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) derive significant wind energy compared to onshore …

An elasto-plastic model based on critical state soil mechanics and generalised plasticity was
modified to capture the three-dimensional (3D) behaviour of soil–structure interfaces. The …

Under cyclic loading, particle breakage occurs at gravelly soil-structure interface, resulting in
the decrease of interface strength and the increase of normal displacement. Based on the …

A novel procedure for analyzing fracture processes in quasi-brittle materials and consisting
in combining the discrete crack approach by means of interface elements with the Virtual …

This paper proposes a data-driven approach to characterize the interface shear behavior
between frozen soil and structure surface, which can be regularly encountered in …

Deep learning (DL) algorithm bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) neural network
is employed to model behaviors of the soil–structure interface in this study, as a pioneer …

The behavior of interfaces between granular soils and structural construction materials has
an important impact on the monotonic and cyclic response of many soil-structure interaction …

An elasto-plastic model is proposed for modeling the constitutive behavior of the interface
between gravelly soils and structural materials. This model is based on the two-surface …
