ON DISCRETE STRUCTURE OF GEOLOGIC MEDIUM AND CONTINUAL APPROACH TO MODELING ITS MOVEMENTS by Sh. A. Mukhamediev

“…Authors who support the second opinion, either explicitly or implicitly assume that the block structure of the geologic medium, which is detectable by geological methods, makes a direct and unambiguous impact on all other mechanical properties of the geologic medium and, above all, on the nature of its movements.Based on results obtained by interpreting the data collected in our long-term field studies of rock fracturing, mathematical processing of GPS-measurements, and theoretical models, we agree with the concept of the geologic medium’s block structure, but argue that the geologic block-structure property is not acquired but congenital. …”

Damage Strength Model of Soil–Structure Interface Based on Equivalent Damage by Huaixin LI, Changgen YAN, Jiale XIE, Weifeng SUN, Yuling SHI, Zhuolong JIA

“…The proposed model is validated by comparing it with experimental data, demonstrating that it accurately represents both softening and hardening stress-strain behaviors at the soil-structure interface.Conclusions This study explores how the soil shear area influences the mechanical properties of the soil-structure interface and proposes a zero-thickness interface model to predict this behavior, supported by experimental evidence. …”
