Presented here is a numerical investigation of the influence of non-uniform soil conditions on a prototype concrete bridge with three bents (four span) where soil beneath bridge bents are varied between stiff sands and soft clay. A series of high-fidelity ...
This paper presents a Lagrangian approach for the simulation of two-dimensional free-surface flows along with a systematic validation. Fluid-flow is traditionally modeled using an Eulerian description in association with finite differences and, more recent ...
We develop in this paper a model for the numerical simulation of free surface debris- and mudflows, described as a mixture of two viscous phases A Lagrangian approach with finite element approximation and regular remeshing is adopted in this paper. The pro ...
Mudflows are catastrophic events that cause immense damage to infrastructure and life every year. Local authorities have been trying to mitigate the risk by zoning regulations as well as by building protection structures for many years. These measures have ...
