Representative ground-motion ensembles for several major earthquake scenarios in New Zealand

In this paper, representative ground motion ensembles for several major earthquake scenarios in New Zealand are developed. Cases considered include representative ground motions for the occurrence of Alpine, Hope and Porters Pass earthquakes in…

Quantitative prediction of effective toughness at random heterogeneous interfaces

The propagation of an adhesive crack through an anisotropic heterogeneous interface is considered. Tuning the local toughness distribution function and spatial correlation is numerically shown to induce a transition between weak to strong pinning…

Behaviour of a sensitive marine sediment: microstructural investigation

The aim of this study is to characterise along various stress paths the microstructural evolution of a deep-water marine sediment from the Gulf of Guinea (GoG). Results obtained at the macroscopic level have shown that the phenomenological behaviour…

Micro–macro-experimental study of two clayey materials on drying paths

The objective of this research is to provide a better understanding of the relation between the macroscopic and microscopic behaviours of two clayey materials, a kaolinite and a mixture of kaolinite and montmorillonite. At the macroscopic scale, the…

Kaolin/montmorillonite mixtures behaviour on oedometric path and microstructural variations

The aim of this study is to understand and to characterise the influence of the montmorillonite fraction on the behaviour of several mixtures of kaolin and montmorillinite, ranging from pure kaolinite to pure montmorillonite. We show that beyond 35%…
