The middle surface concept and its application to constitutive modeling of soils.
(2003)
The modeling of stress-strain behavior of geomaterials, such as soils, is key to the accurate analyses of complicated geotechnical engineering structures. Traditional elastoplastic modeling concepts, characterized by a ...
Laboratory and model prediction of rutting in asphalt concrete.
(2003)
Rutting is one of the major distresses of flexible pavement. It is defined as the formation of longitudinal depressions under the wheel paths caused by the progressive movement of materials under traffic loading in the ...
The poromechanics of naturally fractured rock formations: A finite element approach.
(2003)
The mathematical models have been cast into finite element form and verified against analytical solutions for one-dimensional consolidation and an inclined wellbore in a fully saturated single-porosity formation subjected ...
High performance concrete in Oklahoma designed for precast/prestressed bridge beams.
(2003)
It was learned that all cements and aggregates in the test group appear suitable for producing HPC, but some cements and aggregates are better in precast/prestressed concrete applications. Cement selection is crucial to ...
Characterizing components of uncertainty in hydrologic modeling using an ensemble approach.
(2003)
In hydrologic modeling, uncertainties are known to reside in model inputs, i.e., rainfall estimates, model parameters, observations of streamflow, and in some cases in the model structure itself. Estimation of the total ...
