Numerical simulations of centrifuge experiments examining a sheet-pile wall with liquefiable backfill are conducted and results compared against the experimental responses to evaluate numerical tools’ ability accurately predict seismic performance this geosystem. The platform FLAC constitutive model PM4Sand used for simulations, focus is placed on displacements. influence relative density (D R ...

The water supply is the crucial problem of human beings in the world. Earth dams are usually the most important structures to store and manage the main sources: surface waters. The safety of earth dams in different conditions especially under earthquake loadings plays a vital role in sustainable developments. Recently, mixed-clay soil is widely used as water- seal material in the core of earth ...

Soil-liquefaction-related hazards can damage structures or lead to an extensive loss of life and property. Therefore, the stability safety against soil liquefaction are essential for evaluation in earthquake design. In practice, simplified analysis procedure associated with numerical simulation is most used approach evaluating behavior effectiveness mitigation plans. First, occurrence evaluated...

Underground structures can be severely damaged during strong earthquakes. Potential damage to infrastructure due uplift increases in liquefied soils. Several models used simulate soil liquefaction. This study presents a new numerical method estimate the overall response of shallow-buried tunnels and interpret liquefaction mechanism saturated sand around structure under seismic action. The stems...

Abstract In this work, we used a particle transport model integrated into the fluid solver in FLAC to simulate of particles near-wellbore region inside hydraulic fracture. Complex flow behaviors, including divergent near fracture entrance and detouring around diverter packs, can be captured coupling system. numerical implementation, coupled are realized by updating permeability, concentration, ...
