Description
The standard bonded-particle models available in many discrete element method (DEM) codes are known to predict unrealistically low values for the ratio of ultimate compressive strength (UCS) to tensile strength (UTS) for concrete. To correct this,...

Description
Mast arm traffic signals and cantilever highway signs have an inverted L-shaped structure and this geometry results in high loading demand to their support foundations when subjected to high wind loading. This MS thesis is motivated by an NCDOT re...

Description
The use of p-y curves is heavily engrained into geotechnical engineering practice. However, even with the prevalent use of p-y curves, these are only used to model the loading portion and not the unloading of a load test or loading demand in the f...
