Circular tunnel in a gradient elastoplastic rock mass
(2020)This paper attempts to study the mechanical behavior of an elastoplastic rock mass around an underground circular excavation by using gradient theory. The problem (in plane conditions) is reduced to that of a circular hole ... -
Evaluation of pavement maintenance and strengthening techniques
(2019)Prospects of the 21st Century assert that road networks will continue to expand while the existing road infrastructure will remain a valuable asset to be smartly and effectively preserved, operated and managed. The challenge ... -
The importance of accurate calculation of the nonlinear extreme wave kinematics in the design of offshore platforms
(2015)The purpose of this work is to highlight the importance of the calculation of the nonlinear extreme wave kinematics appropriate for load calculations of the elements of a platform in deep water. Numerical calculations have ... -
An information theoretic framework for optimal experimental design
(2017)An information theoretic framework for optimal experimental design is presented. The objective function is rooted in information theory, and is the expected Kullback-Leibler divergence between the prior and posterior pdf ... -
Prediction of wave transmission coefficient using neural networks and experimental measurements
(2015)In the present paper, an application of composite modeling is presented, for the estimation of wave transmission through flushing culverts. Specifically, experimental measurements are used and an Artificial Neural Network ... -
The sliding surface roughness effect on landslides: A statistical study
(2016)Spring-block models are a useful tool for modeling avalanche-like dynamics for catastrophic landslides. This paper examines the statistical behavior of the failure of a rock (or soil) slope taking into account the effect ...
