Image Correlation for Shape, Motion and Deformation Measurements provides a
comprehensive overview of data extraction through image analysis. Readers will find and in …

A hierarchical multiscale modeling approach is used to investigate three-dimensional (3D)
strain localization in granular media. Central to the multiscale approach is a hierarchical …

Foundation scour can have a detrimental effect on the performance of bridge piers, inducing
a significant reduction of the lateral capacity of the footing and accumulation of permanent …

For evaluation of slope stability in materials displaying strain-softening behavior, knowledge
concerning the failed state material response is of importance. Here, soft sensitive clay is …

Drained triaxial compression tests on sand are common in geotechnical engineering due to
their application in determining strength and critical state properties, and calibration of …

Constitutive models for soils are developed and validated against laboratory tests assuming
these give representative information on the true material behaviour. However, data from …

In most of the geotechnical problems there are several complexities which make the
computational analysis of earth structures complicated. First, geomaterials usually fall into …

Conventional triaxial tests on peats are strongly criticised due to the very high shear strength
parameters obtained from standard data elaboration, leading to unrealistic factors of safety …

When modelling the phenomenon of strain localisation in strain-softening soils with the finite
element (FE) method, nonlocal approaches have been commonly employed to avoid mesh …

The focus of this study is the analysis of the onset of a shear band in saturated soils under
biaxial stress conditions taking into account bifurcation in both pore pressure and soil …
