In addition to the conventional laboratory tests of input materials and construction mixtures, technically correct design pavement structure involves more frequent functional mixtures. Our study summarizes findings from a long-term monitoring on selected road sections with lower traffic intensity. The research involved comparison resilient moduli as parameter unbound base layers’ granular (UGMs...

Cuspy triaxial potentials admit a large number of chaotic orbits, which moreover exhibit extreme “stickiness” that makes the process of chaotic mixing surprisingly inefficient. Environmental effects, modeled as noise and/or periodic driving, help accelerate phase space transport but probably not as much as in simpler potentials. This could mean that cuspy triaxial ellipticals cannot exist as ti...

In various aspects, peat soil is different from mineral soil. Peat a biogenic deposit that emerged within the last 10,000 years, during post-glacial (Holocene) era. soft unable to support external loads without experiencing significant deformations. Tyre pressure automobiles and/or aeroplane wheels on paved surfaces creates traffic load, which can manifest as static or dynamic types of loading....

One of the main risks in low-densified sandy soils with presence water and an external force such as earthquake is generation liquefaction. The influence several types reinforcement on liquefaction resistance, polypropylene fibers, geofibers, cement fibers shown this study. Cyclic stress-controlled triaxial tests cyclic strain-controlled were performed saturated samples without reinforcements u...

A quasi-linear viscoelastic law with a continuous relaxation spectrum describing triaxial constitutive behaviour of heart muscle tissue is presented. The elastic response of the viscoelastic law is anisotropic, while the relaxation behaviour is assumed isotropic. The law is designed for a biphasic description (fluid-solid) of the myocardial tissue. Biaxial and uniaxial stress-strain curves from...

This paper presents a fully three-dimensional plastic constitutive modeling framework suitable for the prediction of cyclic loading at large number of cycles. It can require only one yield surface and it is motivated by a simple rheological model where a restoration of the kinematic hardening is introduced. The classical kinematic hardening rules are then simply adapted leading to time-dependen...

This laboratory investigation has been conducted to elucidate how the fi nes fraction affects the undrained residual shear strength and liquefaction potential of sand-silt mixtures (Algeria). A series of monotonic and cyclic undrained triaxial tests were carried out on undrained, reconstituted, saturated samples of sand with varying fi nes content ranging from 0 to 50%. These were undertaken in...

A suite of stress-controlled cyclic triaxial tests were performed on frozen, fine-grained soils to assess the characteristics accumulated and behaviours under packets stress with variable amplitude. The influence sequences is highlighted, results amplitude indicate that applied sequence importance regarding final deformations. step change observed in strain when beyond previous package, while a...
