Understanding the mechanical behavior of solids and contacts
(interfaces and joints) is vital for the analysis, design, and
maintenance of engineering systems. Materials may simultaneously
experience the effects of many factors such as elastic, plastic,
and creep strains, different loading (stress) paths, volume change
under shear stress, microcracking leading to fracture and failure,
strain softening or degradation. Typically the available models
account for only one factor at a time, however, the Disturbed State
Concept (DSC) with the Hierarchical Single Surface (HISS)
plasticity is a unified modelling approach that can allow for
numerous factors simultaneously, and in an integrated manner.
DSC/HISS Modeling Applications for Problems in Mechanics,
Geomechanics, and Structural Mechanics provides readers with
comprehensive information including the basic concepts and
applications for the Disturbed State Concept (DSC)/ HISS modeling
regarding a wide range of engineering materials and contacts.
Uniformity in format and content of each chapter will make it
easier for the reader to appreciate the potential of using the
DSC/HISS modeling across various applications. Features: Presents a
new and simplified way to learn characterizations and behaviors of
materials and contacts under various conditions Offers modeling
applicable to several different materials including geologic
(clays, sands, rocks), modified geologic materials (structured
soils, overconsolidated soils, expansive soils, loess, frozen
soils, chemically treated soils), hydrate bearing sediments, and
more
Soil-structure interaction is an area of major importance in
geotechnical engineering and geomechanics Advanced Geotechnical
Engineering: Soil-Structure Interaction using Computer and Material
Models covers computer and analytical methods for a number of
geotechnical problems. It introduces the main factors important to
the application of computer methods and constitutive models with
emphasis on the behavior of soils, rocks, interfaces, and joints,
vital for reliable and accurate solutions. This book presents
finite element (FE), finite difference (FD), and analytical methods
and their applications by using computers, in conjunction with the
use of appropriate constitutive models; they can provide realistic
solutions for soil-structure problems. A part of this book is
devoted to solving practical problems using hand calculations in
addition to the use of computer methods. The book also introduces
commercial computer codes as well as computer codes developed by
the authors. Uses simplified constitutive models such as linear and
nonlinear elastic for resistance-displacement response in 1-D
problems Uses advanced constitutive models such as elasticplastic,
continued yield plasticity and DSC for microstructural changes
leading to microcracking, failure and liquefaction Delves into the
FE and FD methods for problems that are idealized as
two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) Covers the
application for 3-D FE methods and an approximate procedure called
multicomponent methods Includes the application to a number of
problems such as dams , slopes, piles, retaining (reinforced earth)
structures, tunnels, pavements, seepage, consolidation, involving
field measurements, shake table, and centrifuge tests Discusses the
effect of interface response on the behavior of geotechnical
systems and liquefaction (considered as a microstructural
instability) This text is useful to practitioners, students,
teachers, and researchers who have backgrounds in geotechnical,
structural engineering, and basic mechanics courses.
This volume presents challenges in transportation infrastructures
and geotechniques, advancements in recycling, soil stabilization
and reinforcement technologies, and assessments of roadway
conditions using modern tools and techniques. The articles
presented in this volume focus on fundamental investigations on
various aspects of civil engineering materials and structures. The
scope of this volume is the application of findings for solving
problems in geotechnical, pavement, concrete and transportation
engineering using through smart, green and emerging techniques. The
primary audience of this work will be researchers, professionals,
and practitioners around the world. This volume is based on
contributions to the 6th GeoChina International Conference on Civil
& Transportation Infrastructures: From Engineering to Smart
& Green Life Cycle Solutions -- Nanchang, China, 2021.
This book deals with the attempts made by the scientists,
researchers and practitioners to address different emerging issues
in transportation and geotechnical engineering. Papers focus on the
following: (i) polymer-based dust suppressant,(ii) cement concrete
materials, (iii) pavement preservation techniques, (iv) frost front
in a cold-region circular tunnel, (v) metro station in non-cemented
soil, (vi) seismic-liquefaction, (vii) mechanical responses of
asphalt pavement at bridge approach, (viii) warm mix asphalt, and
(ix) behavior of pile foundation. This volume is useful for the
researchers and practitioners who work in the area transportation
and geotechincal engineering. Papers were selected from the 5th
GeoChina International Conference 2018 - Civil Infrastructures
Confronting Severe Weathers and Climate Changes: From Failure to
Sustainability, held on July 23 to 25, 2018 in HangZhou, China.
