Behavior of Flexible Pavements on Expansive Soils
This investigation discusses the findings on analysis results of a pavement structure constructed on a relatively expansive material consisting mainly of brown clayey silt in Tebessa, Algeria. Cores were brought to the laboratory from a piece of roadwork. Remolded samples were taken from subgrade of a deteriorated road. The soils were generally found to be of medium plasticity and of a medium t...

متن کاملFinite Element Modeling of Rate-Dependent Ratcheting in Granular Materials
The present paper introduces a comprehensive model capable of describing the behavior of granular materials under cyclic loading. Its main thrust is the introduction of the “Chicago” law in a continuum approach to account for the ratcheting effects. It also emphasizes the rate-dependency as a dissipative mechanism which acts independently or jointly with the ratcheting effect. Non-associated pl...
متن کاملContinuum modeling of secondary rheology in dense granular materials.
Recent dense granular flow experiments have shown that shear deformation in one region of a granular medium fluidizes its entirety, including regions far from the sheared zone, effectively erasing the yield condition everywhere. This enables slow creep deformation to occur when an external force is applied to a probe in the nominally static regions of the material. The apparent change in rheolo...
متن کاملModeling density segregation in flowing bidisperse granular materials
Preventing segregation in flowing granular mixtures is an ongoing challenge for industrial processes that involve the handling of bulk solids. A recent continuum-based modeling approach accurately predicts spatial concentration fields in a variety of flow geometries for mixtures varying in particle size. This approach captures the interplay between advection, diffusion, and segregation using ki...
