For numerical studies of geotechnical structures under earthquake loading, aiming to
examine a possible failure due to liquefaction, using a sophisticated constitutive model for …

Discrete-element method (DEM) simulations of three-dimensional (3D) assemblies of
ellipsoid particles were used to evaluate the critical state (CS) for both drained and …

Resonant column tests were conducted on clean Hostun sand and Hostun sand mixed with
5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% fines (particle size smaller than 0.075 mm) to assess the …

The critical state (CS), the anchor concept in the critical state soil mechanics (CSSM)
framework, has been comprehensively evaluated in triaxial stress conditions, where all the …

There have been significant advances in understanding of the effect of fines content, fc, on
the mechanical response of sand with fines. The concepts of equivalent granular void ratio …

Cyclic liquefaction failure modes are directly related to the consequence of liquefaction and
important for mitigation strategies. Two common failure modes, cyclic mobility (CM) and …

In some cases, the water content in granular soil increases to the extent that it becomes
saturated, which noticeably alters its responses. For example, the pore water pressure within …

The behaviour of granular material was investigated by simulating an undrained triaxial
compression test for three-dimensional assembly of ellipsoid particles over a wide range of …

Recent experimental findings highlight the impact of anisotropic consolidation on triggering
flow liquefaction failures. Results of a series of undrained tests on isotropic and anisotropic …

There have been significant advances in the application of critical state, CS, in liquefaction
potential assessment. This was done by comparing state parameter, ψ with estimated …
