However, the effectiveness of GESCs in resisting dynamic loading remains a concern. Three‐dimensional numerical models using a continuum‐discrete coupled method are developed to investigate the dynamic response of GESC groups in sand under sinusoidal loading. The models capture the dynamic variations in settlement (δz), lateral displacement (δr), porosity, coordination number, contact force distribution, and radial stress coefficient (). A parametric study further examines the effect of six key factors. The results reveal that the column group effect notably reduces δr of the central column by 52.78% compared to a single GESC. GESCs exhibit shear deformation and translational movement, with δr increasing as the distance from the group center grows. The position of maximum δr shifts downward from a z/D ratio of 0.83–2.5 with increasing distance in the x‐direction, while remaining stable in the y‐direction. High contact forces accumulate at the GESC bases, peaking initially before declining over time. The remains below 2.0, considerably lower than the passive earth pressure coefficient (Kp). Kp for design purposes overestimates the bearing capacity of GESCs under dynamic loading. GESC groups are more sensitive to lower loading frequencies, while larger relative density, soil strength, or column diameter improves dynamic resistance.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144104175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents an energy‐based methodology for estimating the dynamic impedance of a single pile situated in radially weakened soil. To achieve this, the surrounding soil is segmented into discrete annular zones, wherein soil deformation is modeled as a function of a series of decay functions corresponding to the pile shaft displacement. Hamilton's energy principle and the method of variations are employed to derive the governing equations. To enhance computational efficiency, fixed‐point iteration utilizing Steffensen's technique is implemented. Additionally, a novel radial distribution model based on Bessel functions is introduced to more accurately reflect the changes in soil properties observed in experimental investigations. The study examines the effects of three distinct types of radial distributions of soil shear modulus on pile stiffness and damping characteristics. The findings indicate that the proposed approach improves low‐frequency prediction by reducing the impact of boundary wave reflections. It is also found that the depth of soil degradation significantly influences pile impedance, particularly in the case of short piles embedded in soft soil.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144067135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is applied to the Sievers’ J‐ miniature drill test, which is widely used for estimating the rock drillability and predicting the cutter life. A continuum approach based on a damage‐viscoplastic model for rock failure is adopted. The viscoplasticity part, based on the Drucker–Prager yield surface with a rounded Rankine criterion as the tensile cut‐off, defines the stress states leading to rock failure. This failure is captured by the damage model, which uses separate damage variables for tension and compression (shear). A special workflow for generating granite mineral mesostructures based on Neper, DREAM3D, and Matlab software is developed. Moreover, nanoindentation tests are performed for determination of the elastic material constants for the Kuru granite constituent minerals. The global coupled thermo‐mechanical problem with frictional contact is solved with a staggered globally iterative approach. The FE discretized balance of linear momentum is time discretized with the Newmark scheme, and the FE discretized heat equation is time discretized with the Backward Euler scheme. The tangent stiffness operator required by the Newton–Raphson iteration is derived for the isothermal case using the penalty method for contact modelling. Preliminary numerical simulations of the Sievers’ J‐miniature drill test on granite demonstrate that the approach holds some promise and thereby provides a platform to be extended to simulate frictional rotational sliding induced damage and heating effects on rocks in other applications as well.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"141 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144066827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most related studies primarily focus on single‐row stabilizing piles; however, for large‐scale slopes, single‐row stabilizing piles may fail to meet the stability requirement, necessitating the use of double‐row or even multiple‐row stabilizing piles. Specifically, for large‐scale earth slopes where double‐row stabilizing piles are installed, the uncertainty and spatial variability of soil properties in the slope region may exert some probabilistic influence to the stabilizing efficiency. To address this probabilistic issue, this paper presents a reliability‐based analysis framework enhanced by importance sampling (IS) to quantify the stability of double‐row piled earth slopes, accounting for the soil spatial variability. The reliability analysis is efficiently realized by the first‐order reliability method (FORM) with iHLRFx iterative algorithm and the accuracy is enhanced using the IS method. Additionally, the Karhunen–Loève (KL) expansion method is used for efficient random field simulations. In connection with the standard Optum G2 slope stability modeling program, the integrated KL‐iHLRFx‐IS reliability method is then used to calculate reliability indices of double‐row piled earth slopes with various combinations of piling design schemes, followed by probabilistic sensitivity analyses of various soil uncertainty and spatial variability parameters.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144066826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, there is a need to better understand the interactions between CO2 and rock deposits. Among the primary deposit candidates are carbonate rocks. During CO2 injection in the subsurface, the formation's pore structure and mechanical properties are altered by the interaction with CO2, affecting reservoir behavior and fluid flow. This study aims to improve understanding of the effects of CO2 injection on the mechanical behavior of carbonate rocks. Laboratory tests and numerical discrete element models (DEMs) were used to assess the alterations in carbonate rocks due to CO2 injection. The laboratory tests consist of CO2‐saturated water injection and multistage triaxial tests in Indiana limestone samples. Triaxial tests were performed before and after CO2 injection to investigate changes in the rock's mechanical properties. A significant reduction in the unconfined compressive strength and Young's modulus was observed. Numerical discrete element models were developed to assess the alterations in carbonate rocks due to CO2 injection. A contact law accounts for the mechanical effect of material degradation. The laboratory test results were used to calibrate the numerical model. The numerical methodology presented good results and was validated by matching the experimental results, assessing the mechanical changes due to the dissolution of Indiana limestone samples.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An enhanced elastoplastic damage model, incorporating dual plastic mechanisms, is proposed to capture the coupled hydromechanical behavior of concrete under combined high stress and high strain rate loading. Key improvements include the refinement of the porosity‐volumetric strain relationship, the incorporation of full hydromechanical coupling under dynamic loading, and the integration of strain rate sensitivity into the pore collapse mechanism and material strength. The improved constitutive model and numerical methodology are validated through simulations of uniaxial tensile tests and three sets of compression tests. Parametric studies are conducted to explore the influence of pore pressure on the confined response of concrete under both static and dynamic loading conditions. The results demonstrate that interstitial pore pressure significantly affects both the volumetric and deviatoric behaviors of saturated concrete, with its influence becoming more pronounced under dynamic loading.

The analysis takes into account the inherent spatial variability of soil strength and permeability properties. Adopting the framework of effective stresses for formulating the strength failure condition of the saturated porous medium, it is shown that the effect of seepage flow can be accounted for in the stability analysis by means of driving body forces computed from the gradient of pore pressure distribution. The hydraulic boundary value problem governing the water filtration velocity is addressed by resorting to a specific analytical variational approach, whose accuracy is assessed through comparison with finite element solutions. The impact of hydraulic‐related parameters on the slope stability is first investigated within a deterministic framework. In the probabilistic stability analysis, soil cohesion, friction angle, and permeability are modeled as random fields that are numerically generated, making use of the Karhenum–Loéve Expansion. The Monte Carlo simulation method has been employed to evaluate the probability density function of the slope stability factor as well as associated overall failure probability. Numerical analyses have been performed with the aim to investigate the impact of some statistical parameters defining the distributions of strength and permeability on the slope stability conditions. Comparison of the simulation results with available numerical predictions pointed out the ability of the proposed stochastic limit analysis approach to accurately address the slope stability problem.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In view of this, this study establishes a modified analytical model for the passive earth pressure of narrow backfill behind a retaining wall under unsaturated steady‐state seepage conditions, based on the log‐spiral failure mechanism and the arched differential element method. The distribution, total force magnitude, and the height of the application point of passive earth pressure for narrow backfill under the rotation about the wall toe (RB) mode are calculated by the fourth order Runge–Kutta method within the framework of the generalized effective stress principle. To validate the proposed method, a comparative analysis is conducted by integrating experimental, theoretical, and OptumG2 simulation results. Moreover, the effect of main parameters on passive earth pressures is investigated through a parametric analysis. The results show that as the wall–soil interface friction angle increases gradually, the passive earth pressure distribution curve transitions from convex towards the wall back to concave towards the wall back; with the increase of aspect ratio, the passive earth pressure curve gradually shifts from curved to nearly straight; with a small air entry pressure parameter, the total passive earth pressure force increases as the air entry pressure parameter increases, while the height of the application point of total force initially decreases and then increases; the hysteresis effect reduces the total passive earth pressure force and decreases the height of the application point of the total force.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
