The smoothness of high-speed railway is extremely strict. As an important part the foundation, subgrade structure has strict deformation requirements. It necessary to ensure that does not have plastic cumulative under long-term cyclic load train, which most critical geodynamic problem in subgrade. This paper studied characteristics filling train loading through triaxial test, three types accumu...

The prediction quality of discrete element method (DEM) models for railway ballast can be expected to depend on three points: the geometry representation of the single particles, the used contact models and the parametrisation using principal experiments. This works aims at a balanced approach, where none of the points is addressed with excessive depth. In a first step, a simple geometry repres...

In this study artificial neural networks (ANN) are used to simulate the monotonic and cyclic behaviour of sands observed in laboratory tests on Karlsruhe sand under drained undrained conditions. A genetic algorithm (GA) is obtain an optimal framework for ANN. The results show that proposed adaptive network (GANN) can effectively triaxial saturated isotropic or anisotropic consolidation. GANN al...

called maximum shear modulus, Gmax. It can be determined by in-situ methods from the measurements of the shear wave velocity, Vs, by means of crosshole, down-hole, up-hole, or surface wave testing. The relationship between maximum shear modulus and shear wave velocity is rigorous: 2 max s G V    where ρ is soil density. This parameter can be also obtained in laboratory by resonant column or ...

Road and subway tunnels in soft clay soils subjected to traffic loading often cause lager settlement. It can pose danger the surrounding buildings structures. Hence, it is necessary for engineers correctly predict long-term deformation of saturated foundations under cyclic loading. In this paper, a series dynamic triaxial tests were carried out on Nanning investigate effect frequency stress axi...

We study the phase diagram of the proton-neutron interacting boson model with special emphasis on the phase transitions leading to triaxial phases. The existence of a new critical point between spherical and triaxial shapes is reported.
