Book Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials

Download or read book Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials written by H. DiBenedetto and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-03-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solutions for soil engineering and soil-structure interaction problems need realistic and pertinent experimental and modelling tools. In this work, extensive developments proposed by the invited speakers of the Lyon International Symposium held in September 2003 are presented, including experimental investigations into deformation properties; laboratory, in-situ and field observation interpretations; behaviour characterisation and modelling; and case histories. The contributions include recent investigations into anisotropy and non-linearity, the effects of stress-strain-time history, ageing and time effects, yielding, failure and flow, cyclic and dynamic behaviour. In addition, advanced geotechnical testing is applied to real engineering problems, and to ways of synthesising information from a range of sources while engaging in practical site characterisation studies.

Book Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials

Download or read book Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials written by V.A. Rinaldi and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 1236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2015, Buenos Aires, Argentina became the location of several important events for geo-professionals, with the simultaneous holding of the 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials, the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), the 8th South American Congress on Rock Mechanics (SCRM), as well as the 22nd Argentinean Congress of Geotechnical Engineering (CAMSIGXXII). This synergy provided a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss current and future practices in the areas of soil mechanics and rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, energy, environmental, and mining engineering. This book presents the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials. As well as 118 articles selected for publication after peer review, it includes 7 lectures delivered by invited keynote speakers and the Third Bishop Lecture, delivered by Professor Herve Di Benedetto of the University of Lyon, France, who presented a reference work on the advanced testing and modeling of bituminous bounded and unbounded granular materials. The conference brought together practitioners, researchers and educators from around the world engaged in the understanding of the deformation properties of geo-materials before failure, and the small strain parameters as fundamental characteristics of geo-materials. The main topics covered by the symposium include experimental investigations from very small strains to beyond failure, including multi-physical approach; HTC M coupling behavior, characterization and modeling of various geo-materials and interfaces; and practical prediction and interpretation of ground responses: field observation and case histories.

Book The Mechanical Behaviour of Soft Clays Under Vibration Loading from Vehicle Traffic

Download or read book The Mechanical Behaviour of Soft Clays Under Vibration Loading from Vehicle Traffic written by Mustafa Z. Emir and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of land reclamation projects around the world has increased the need for advanced studies on the mechanical behavior of soft clays. One of the most important aspects of soft clay behaviour is the time dependent deformation characteristics. The behavioral characteristics of soft clays suggest that an overstress type soil model is suitable for the analysis of such deposits. A model initially proposed by P. Perzyna has been extended with the addition of a Cam Clay type yield criterion and implemented in a finite element code to analyze geotechnical problems in two dimensions. In addition to describing the monotonic loading behavior, the model is used for the analysis of soft clays under vibrational loads from vehicle traffic. In order to investigate the effects of vibrations on the rate dependent behaviour of soft clays, a new vibrational slump test has been devised. The results are used to explain the processes involved during the deformation of a clay sample under its own weight. It is seen that the variations of the parameters used in the soil model exhibit a marked resemblance to the variations of the fundamental material state variables such as the flow volume, activation energy, and entropy. In the light of this observation, the possible relationships between the material parameters used in the present viscoplasticity model and the thermodynamic variables from rate process theory are discussed. The conclusions drawn from the vibrational slump test results as well as the careful examination of the constitutive model have been implemented in a Finite Element computer code. The predictive abilities of this program have been established by comparison with field measurements and the behavior of a soft clay foundation under the effect of surface vibrations is simulated. It is found that vehicle traffic during and after the construction of landfills (or embankments) noticeably retards the consolidation process and creates prolonged periods of quasi-undrained conditions.

Book Anisotropy and Localization of Plastic Deformation

Download or read book Anisotropy and Localization of Plastic Deformation written by J.P. Boehler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Present developments in materials science, mechanics and engineering, as well as the demands of modern technology, result in a new and growing interest in plasticity and in bordering domains of the mechanical behavior of materials. This growing interest is attested to by the success of both The International Journal of Plasticity, which after its inception rapidly became the leading journal for plasticity research, and the series ofInternational Symposia on Plasticity and Its Current Applications, which is now the premier international forum for plasticity research dissemination. The First International Symposium on Plasticity and Its Current Applications was conceived and organized by Professor Akhtar S. Khan, and was held at the University of Oklahoma (Norman, Oklahoma, USA) from July 30 to August 3, 1984. It was attended by over one hundred scientists from fifteen countries. "Plasticity '89: the Second International Symposium on Plasticity and Its Current Applications" was held at Mie University (Tsu, Japan) from July 31 to August 4, 1989; this symposium was co-chaired by Professors Khan and Tokuda. The main emphasis of this meeting was on dynamic plasticity and micromechanics, although it included other aspects of plasticity as well. It was attended by over two hundred researchers from twenty-three nations.

Book Tunnel Design Methods

Download or read book Tunnel Design Methods written by Antonio Bobet and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tunnel Design Methods covers analytical, numerical, and empirical methods for the design of tunnels in soil and in rock. The material is intended for design engineers looking for detailed methods, for graduate students who are interested in tunnelling, and for researchers working on various aspects of ground-support interaction under static and seismic loading. The book is divided into seven chapters, covering fundamental concepts on ground and support behavior and on ground-excavation-support interaction and provides detailed information on analytical and numerical methods used for the design of tunnels, with applications, and on the latest developments on empirical methods. The principles and formulations included are used, throughout the book, to provide insight into the response of tunnels under both simple and complex loading conditions, thus providing the reader with fundamental understanding of tunnel behavior. Both authors have experience in tunnelling and have worked extensively in practice, designing tunnels both in the United States and abroad, and in research.
