The coefficient of earth pressure at rest, K0, is a significant mechanical parameter, and the investigation K0 coarse-grained soil has important theoretical significance applicational value in geotechnical engineering. However, there are few studies on influence initial dry density (ρd) due to limitations related test instruments or methods. A series tests for two types soils (rockfill sandy-gr...

Abstract There is a need of reducing the uncertainty in traffic loading-induced settlements within railway embankments. A previously developed model for unbound stone-based materials has been implemented modelling rockfill Particles were represented by simple breakable tetrahedral clumps spheres with four asperities each. Both corner breakage and particle splitting allowed. Embankments heights ...

The present paper considers aspects of underground iron ore mining in Ukraine, particular the level mine production and reserves basic fields. It analyzes generalizes practice using cemented rockfill under difficult hydrogeological conditions Pivdenno-Bilozerske high-grade field. Belozersky district is only one Ukraine that, without any technological cycle beneficiation, can provide both domest...

Discrete piles are used to stabilise infrastructure slopes, especially where there is insufficient additional land to allow construction of large toe berms or regrading of the slope. Compared with more conventional structures such as retaining walls, there are few field data on how discrete piles typically bend and displace under slope loading. This paper presents the results from monitoring a ...

Purpose: justification of irrigation canal impervious linings use with new materials and methods for their calculation. Materials methods. The proposed improved designs canals were the research. To determine specific filtration flow, calculation free backed concrete-film damage in polymer geomembrane, taking into account moisture contours partial soil saturation water at base used. Results. Amo...

As a type of special geological body, soil-rock mixtures (SRMs) are widely found in nature and used civil engineering. Many structures, such as rockfill dams, highways tunnels, have SRMs building materials. Proper modeling is great importance to capture the complex behavior this heterogeneous material. In manuscript, simple constitutive model incorporating skeleton void ratio concept proposed f...
