Several studies have been reported in published literature on analytical solutions for a laterally loaded pile installed in a homogeneous single soil layer. However, piles are rarely installed in an ideal homogeneous single soil layer. The present st...

Numerous studies have been reported in the published literature on analytical solutions for a vertically loaded pile installed in a homogeneous single soil layer. However, piles are rarely installed in an ideal homogeneous single soil layer. This stu...

Circular/spherical rigid particle models that were initially applied to rock fracture studies were not able to match the ratio of the compressive strength to tensile strength that occurs in rock. In addition, the predicted macroscopic friction angle...

Gravity-driven mass flows are typically large-scale complex multi-phase phenomena involving multiple interacting phases. Various types of mass flows usually exhibit distinct behaviors in their formation, propagation and deposition. In such large-scal...

Over the conventional limit equilibrium method and limit analysis method, the finite element method is advantageous, especially for slopes involving complex failure mechanisms where the critical slip surfaces cannot be represented by log spirals and...
