... of the boundaries of an equivalent shear beam (ESB) container during dynamic centrifuge tests of an onshore wind turbine resting on liquefiable soils is evaluated. To this end, numerical modelling of the ESB box was implemented in the finite-element framework OpenSees, to replicate the results observed...

... of the soil sample. Then, the FCV, soil and the pile were modelled by applying the stresses of the soil elements calculated in the previous steps to the model as predefined field stresses. In the last step, the load was applied on the pile head vertically. The numerical model was initially verified using...

... model tests numerical modelling It is of great engineering value to explore the sliding process of a soil–rock composite slope; in particular, the anti-sliding mechanism of a soil–rock composite slope with support under external forces. In landslide-control engineering, double-row piles have...

...-dimensional (3D) models. The reason for this is that the loading area has finite dimensions depending on the contact between the tyre and the soil surface (Fernando and Carter, 1998). These types of analyses can be accomplished either through physical and/or numerical models. Some researchers have already...

Surficial failure mechanisms are investigated using prototype ground models that integrate input from field monitoring, geological observations and soil properties and account for relevant factors and constraints for physical and numerical modelling.

A circular tunnel with a diameter of 6 m was excavated at a cover depth of 21 m. A 27·5 m long pile with an embedment length of 16 m was located at a horizontal offset from the tunnel...
