Numerical simulation of an excavation induced landslide in a strain softening material is
presented and the results are compared with field measurements. The simulation is based …

Few building codes contains provisions fault surface ruptures and accompanying soil
deformations which constitutes a great risk to human lives, buildings and infrastructure. A …

There has been a debate in the rock mechanics community regarding the mechanisms
causing what is known as core discing. This phenomenon occurs when diamond drill cores …

A strength reduction method combined with numerical techniques has been frequently used
to analyze slope failure. However, to date, there is no valid physical modeling technique to …

Dramatic failures have occurred in recent earthquakes as a result of the interplay of surface
structures with outcrop** fault ruptures, highlighting the need to account for fault-induced …

Strong earthquakes threaten civil structures through ground shaking and, sometimes, due to
the outcrop of the causative fault. A number of hybrid foundation schemes that have been …

This paper is an extension of the research reported by the authors in ref.[1]. The emphasis is
placed on the modelling of unstable strain softening response. The inception of softening is …

A numerical approach to bifurcation problems in soil plasticity is outlined. While previously
published results have been obtained using non-associated plasticity models, results are …

A study is presented on the damages that developed in the segmented precasted concrete
liner of a deep tunnel excavated by means of a tunnel boring machine (TBM). Various …

The numerical simulation-based strength reduction method has frequently been applied to
analyze slope stability, showing that slope failure characteristics caused by the decrease in …
