Cyclic metal plasticity model parameters with limited information: a constrained optimization approach

Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Tensile test data for structural steels are ubiquitous. Yet, the information monotonic loading provides with respect to the material's characteristics is limited. Notably, features of inelastic response to cyclic loading, such as the Bauschinger eect, can ...

Effective stress for unsaturated active clays and in-situ effective stress estimation methodology

Angelica Tuttolomondo

The complexity of the mechanics of active clays and, more generally, of geomaterials with clay minerals, under saturated and unsaturated conditions, still provides relevant scientific challenges today. Equally relevant challenges are the understanding of t ...

Soil-structure interaction of surface footings

Lyesse Laloui, Cristiano Garbellini

Limit-state analysis of soil-structure interacting systems is a classical problem in theoretical and applied soil mechanics. Usually, the capacities of both components are evaluated separately. However, it is well known that soil-structure interaction play ...

Shear force redistributions and resistance of slabs and wide beams

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Raffaele Cantone

Redistribution of shear forces in reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement is a key aspect for the assessment of the shear capacity of wide beams and slabs. Such redistributions are due to the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete (both ...

Computational micromechanics of porous brittle solids

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe, Lars Kristoffer Uhlen Blatny

Porous brittle solids evidence complex mechanical behavior, where localized failure patterns originate from mechanical processes on the microstructural level. In order to investigate the failure mechanics of porous brittle solids, we outline a general stoc ...

On the effects of fluid pressure variations on rock-mass and fault mechanical behaviour

Corentin Jean-Marie Rémi Noël

In the past 20 years, the growing interest in deep geo-reservoirs for purposes such as carbon storage, waste water disposal, or geothermal energy exploitation have led to large-volume fluid injections into the upper continental crust. These fluid injection ...

Steel column stability and implications in the seismic assessment of steel structures according to Eurocode 8 Part 3

Dimitrios Lignos, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Seismic performance assessment of new and existing steel structures based on nonlinear static (pushover) analysis necessitates the use of engineering‐oriented models that trace the nonlinear response of structural steel elements under static and cyclic loa ...

Fault's hydraulic diffusivity enhancement during injection induced fault reactivation: application of pore pressure diffusion inversions to laboratory injection experiments

François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

In situ observations of fluid induced fault slip reactivation, as well as the analysis of induced seismicity have demonstrated the complexity of fluid-fault interactions under geological conditions. If fluid flow commonly reactivates faults in the form of ...

Energy dissipation in adhesive and bolted pultruded GFRP double-lap joints under cyclic loading

Thomas Keller, Sonia Yanes Armas, Ghazaleh Eslami

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structures, due to their low mass, are valuable alternatives to traditional steel or concrete structures in seismic areas. However, to resist seismic actions, FRP structures must be able to dissipate a significant amount of i ...
