The Hardening Soil Model
The Hardening Soil constitutive model (HS) was proposed by Schanz (1998); Schanz et al. (1999) in order to reproduce basic behaviour of soils such as: stress dependent stiffness, i.e. obser...
On 3 March 2009, a sudden collapse of the Cologne City Archives building and two adjacent residential structures occurred during the construction of the North-South metro line. The collapse, which c...

Rock masses often contain discontinuities such as bedding planes, joints, or stratification layers, which lead to anisotropic mechanical behavior—that is, behavior that differs depending on direction...
In the early hours of July 4th, 2025, a powerful storm system swept across central Texas, dropping up to 15 inches of rain within hours. Kerr County and surrounding towns like Hunt, Center Point, and...
The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a computational technique that has become indispensable in analyzing rockfall dynamics from steep and overhanging slopes. Unlike continuum-based approaches, DEM m...
