Stone columns have been used as an effective technique for improving the engineering
behaviour of soft clayey grounds and loose silt deposits. The soil improvement via stone …

Soil-rock mixtures (SRMs) are the main unfavorable geologic bodies in Southwest China.
This paper presents a novel mesoscale computational modeling study of SRMs with …

In this study, the influence of wet-dry cycles on the uniaxial compression behavior of fissured
loess after vibration was investigated by small shaking table tests, wet-dry tests, and uniaxial …

The constitutive properties of concrete in freeze–thaw (F–T) environments are the basis for
evaluating whether its mechanical properties are adequate for engineering practice in cold …

A random generation method of periodic mesostructures of soil-rock mixtures based on
random polygon is proposed and used in the generation of an RVE model. A code for …

Upon employing the theoretical frame of breakage mechanics for geological materials and
homogenization, a new elasto-plastic constitutive model is proposed to investigate the …

Fissured loess is one of the sources of geological hazards such as landslides and collapse
under dynamic load. In this study, acrylic pipes with an inner diameter of 62 mm were …

Aboveground-underground coupled structures (AUCSs) integrate aboveground multitowers,
podiums, and large underground structures. The complex structural composition and …

Frozen soil is a multiphase heterogeneous composite, whose mechanical properties are
controlled by the different constituent materials properties and the internal breakage …

Triaxial compression tests were carried out on artificially structured soil samples at confining
pressures of 25, 37.5, 50, 100, 200, and 400 kPa. A binary-medium constitutive model for …
