A Comparative Study of Embedded Wall Displacements Using Small-Strain Hardening Soil Model

  • Tzuri Eilat,
  • Amichai Mitelman,
  • Alison McQuillan and
  • Davide Elmo

Traditional analysis of embedded earth-retaining walls relies on simplistic lateral earth pressure theory methods, which do not allow for direct computation of wall displacements. Contemporary numerical models rely on the Mohr–Coulomb model, wh...

Foundations in Permafrost of Northern Canada: Review of Geotechnical Considerations in Current Practice and Design Examples

  • João Batista de Oliveira Libório Dourado,
  • Lijun Deng,
  • Yuxiang Chen and
  • Ying-Hei Chui

In northern Canada where permafrost is prevalent, a persistent shortage of accessible, affordable, and high-quality housing has been ongoing for decades. The design of foundations in permafrost presents unique engineering challenges due to permafrost...

Modelling of Truck Tire–Rim Slip on Sandy Loam Using Advanced Computational Techniques

  • William Collings,
  • Zeinab El-Sayegh,
  • Jing Ren and
  • Moustafa El-Gindy

25 February 2024

Vehicles often experience low tire pressures and high torques in off-road operations, making tire–rim slip likely. Tire–rim slip is undesirable relative rotation between the tire and rim, which, in this study, is measured by the relative...

  • Justin Strait,
  • Zhou Lei,
  • Hari S. Viswanathan and
  • Philip H. Stauffer

31 January 2024

Simulations of rock damage and gas transport following underground explosions that omit preexisting fracture networks in the subsurface cannot fully characterize the influence of geo-structural variability on gas transport. Previous studies do not co...
