The formulation of a two surface/bubble thermo-mechanical constitutive model consistent with the principles of thermodynamics is presented. This allows plastic deformations inside the outer yield surface, resulting in a smooth stress–strain prediction and progressive cyclic defor ...
The formulation of a new thermo-mechanical constitutive model consistent with the principles of thermodynamics is presented. The model is capable of predicting the rate-independent thermo-mechanical behavior of fine-grained soils. The constitutive equations are derived by definin ...
The coupling effect of initial shear stress and thermal cycles on the thermomechanical behaviour of clay concrete and sand-concrete interfaces has been studied. A set of drained monotonic direct shear tests was conducted at the soil-concrete interface level. Samples were initiall ...
The effect of temperature on the monotonic and cyclic shearing response of a soil–structure interface is of critical importance for the application of thermal-active geo-structures. To investigate this, soils and soil–concrete interfaces were comprehensively tested with a tempera ...
This paper presents a new Modified Cam Clay (MCC) type yield function, that is designed for robust and efficient use with implicit stress integration algorithms. The proposed yield function attains non-elliptical (e.g. tear and bullet) shapes, as well as the typical elliptical sh ...
The numerical implementation of a recently developed thermomechanical constitutive model for fine-grained soils based on hyperelasticity-hyperplasticity theory (Golchin et al. 2020), is presented. A new unconventional implicit stress return mapping algorithm, compatible with elas ...

The extraction and processing of mineral and metal ores in the mining industry comes paired with large amounts of mine waste, also known as tailings. This waste consists of various chemicals, acids, and heavy metals which are used during these extraction processes. The tailings a ...
