Bearing capacity of mixed soil model
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The main objective of this research is the improvement of red soil by the addition of construction materials. This method could provide a scientific way to create a soil foundation with sufficient stability against geo-technical problems or instabilities. Laboratory tests have been conducted to characterize the behavior of red soil when amended with different types of gravels, soils and sand under compacted conditions with Optimum Moisture Content (OMC). Safe bearing capacity of all models have been calculated to identify the best and worst soil mixed model.

Some experimental observations of crack-tip mechanics with displacement data
In the past two decades, crack-tip mechanics has been increasingly studied with full-field techniques. Within these techniques, Digital Image Correlation (DIC) has been most widely used due to its many advantages...
Experimental evaluation of plasticity-induced crack shielding from crack tip displacements fields
In this work it is proposed a methodology for the evaluation of plasticity-induced crack shielding from the analysis of the crack tip displacements fields measured by digital image correlation. This methodology i...
Effect of nonlinearity of restrainer and supports on the elasto-plastic seismic response of continuous girder bridge
During an earthquake, the nonlinearity of the bridge structure mainly occurs at the supports, bridge piers and restrainers. When entering nonlinear stage, members of the bridge structure affect the elasto-plastic...
