Mixing soil or sand with tire rubber fibers or buffings is a practical and promising solution to
the problem of global scrap tire pollution. However, sand–rubber mixtures exhibit …

The discrete element method (DEM) is employed to investigate the impact of coupling
between volumetric and axial strains on the flow liquefaction vulnerability of 3D cubic …

Earthquake-induced diffuse landslide can cause considerable harm. This study used
discrete element modeling (DEM) to investigate the diffuse failure of soil slopes triggered by …

The undrained response of sand under complex loading conditions involving principal
stress rotation (PSR) is of particular interest in practical engineering. Although this subject …

Rainfall-induced flowslides in soil slopes remain one of the most destructive natural
hazards. To prevent and mitigate the hazard requires a good understanding of soil behavior …

In this study we introduce and utilize GEOSPH, a Lagrangian particle-based continuum
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code to simulate the deformation of geologic …

In this study, a convenient and efficient DEM sample preparation procedure capable of
generating three-dimensional specimens with various intensities of initial fabric anisotropy is …

Several case history failures of slope systems have highlighted that the instability onset in
loose materials can be triggered under prevailed drained conditions and stress paths that …

Multidirectional shearing of granular soils involves shearing more than one shear stress
component, and thus may result in more-complex soil responses than unidirectional …

This article presents an experimental program under the constant volume condition to
investigate the influence of over-consolidation on flow instability of clean and silty sand …
