This paper provides a general description of thegeotechnical study carried out for Rajo Sur project, including geological and geotechnical characterizations of the site, slope stabilityanalyses, particularly insectors next to the subsidence crater, and proposed ...

This paper is concerned with the study of the effect of combined horizontal and vertical accelerations on the seismic response of reinforced concrete structures. To achieve this objective, three reinforced concrete buildings representative of rigid, semi-rigid ...

In this thesis a novel conceptual model of the mechanics of sands is developed within an elastic-plastic framework. In this study is presented an extension of the critical model by incorporating the features of granular fabric.

A simple elastoplastic strainhardening model of soil and soft rock behaviour is presented. The physical meaning of the few constitutive parameters characterizing the constitutive law is discussed and the procedure for their determination is outlined. Typical ...
