Book Description
The 8th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics (ICPMG2014) was organised by the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems at the University of Western Australia under the auspices of the Technical Committee 104 for Physical Modelling in Geotechnics of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. This quadrennial conference is the traditional focal point for the physical modelling community of academics, scientists and engineers to present and exchange the latest developments on a wide range of physical modelling aspects associated with geotechnical engineering. These proceedings, together with the seven previous proceedings dating from 1988, present an inestimable collection of the technical and scientific developments and breakthroughs established over the last 25 years. These proceedings include 10 keynote lectures from scientific leaders within the physical modelling community and 160 peer-reviewed papers from 26 countries. They are organised in 14 themes, presenting the latest developments in physical modelling technology, modelling techniques and sensors, through a wide range of soil-structure interaction problems, including shallow and deep foundations, offshore geotechnics, dams and embankments, excavations and retaining structures and slope stability. Fundamental aspects of earthquake engineering, geohazards, ground reinforcements and improvements, and soil properties and behaviour are also covered, demonstrating the increasing complexity of modelling arising from state-of-the-art technological developments and increased understanding of similitude principles. A special theme on education presents the latest developments in the use of physical modelling techniques for instructing undergraduate and postgraduate students in geotechnical engineering.

Book Description
La technique de renforcement par inclusions rigides constitue une reponse pertinente aux problemes de sols compressibles. Elle consiste a transferer les charges de l'ouvrage renforce vers une couche de sol resistante et peu compressible. Le transfert des charges se fait par la combinaison d'inclusions rigides traversant le sol compressible et d'un matelas intercale entre le reseau d'inclusions rigides et l'ouvrage. Ce matelas a pour interet de repartir la charge vers les tetes des inclusions en minimisant la part de la charge reprise par le sol compressible. Contrairement aux fondations profondes, les inclusions rigides ne sont pas en contact direct avec l'ouvrage. Le matelas de transfert des charges assure le fonctionnement des inclusions rigides et permet d'avoir une couche d'assise sous l'ouvrage. La technique de renforcement par inclusions rigides est adaptee pour des ouvrages de types remblais, dallages, zones industrielles, stations d'epuration. Ce travail vise a ameliorer la comprehension des phenomenes des transferts de charge dans les massifs renforces par inclusions rigides."

Book Description
Elastic, Plastic and Yield Design of Reinforced Structures presents a whole set of new results which have been published by the authors over the last 30 years in the field of continuum solid mechanics applied to the analysis and design of reinforced civil engineering structures. The focus is on the development and application of up-scaling/homogenization methods in the design of such composite structures, with a special emphasis on the plastic behavior and ultimate strength of materials. The specificity of the book is highlighted by at least two completely innovative concepts which lie at the very heart of the book's originality: the elaboration of a fully comprehensive homogenization-based method for the design of reinforced structures (and not only materials), through the study of macroscopic behavior, and the development of a multiphase model for materials reinforced by linear inclusions, which considerably extends the range of applicability of the classical homogenization procedure. - Sums up almost thirty years of original research in the field of mechanics applied to the analysis and design of reinforced civil engineering structures - Focuses on the application of upscaling/homogenization methods to the design of civil engineering structures - Highlights the elaboration of a fully comprehensive homogenization-based method for the design of reinforced structures (and not only materials), through the concept of macroscopic behavior - Features development of a multiphase model for materials reinforced by linear inclusions, which considerably extends the range of applicability of the classical homogenization procedure.
Book Description
Le renforcement de sol compressible par inclusions rigides verticales consiste à ancrer dans la couche résistante de sol, en deçà du massif compressible, un ensemble d’inclusions selon une maille carrée. Un matelas granulaire de transfert de charge est ensuite déposé sur le sol. Enfin, la surcharge due à l’ouvrage est simplement appliquée. Il n’y a pas de connexion mécanique entre les inclusions et la structure. Le Projet National ASIRI vise à améliorer les connaissances de cette technique du point de vue du comportement et de la conception. L’étude paramétrique réalisée a pour but d’y contribuer. Pour cela, un modèle réduit centrifugé 3D a été mis au point pour étudier l’influence de la hauteur du matelas (constitué d’un mélange de sable d’Hostun), de l’espacement des inclusions et du type de chargement réparti appliqué (remblai ou dallage). Les résultats obtenus portent sur l’interaction entre les différents paramètres sur le comportement du renforcement en termes de réduction des tassements (totaux et différentiels) et de report des charges du sol vers les inclusions

Book Description
Physical Modelling in Geotechnics collects more than 1500 pages of peer-reviewed papers written by researchers from over 30 countries, and presented at the 9th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics 2018 (City, University of London, UK 17-20 July 2018). The ICPMG series has grown such that two volumes of proceedings were required to publish all contributions. The books represent a substantial body of work in four years. Physical Modelling in Geotechnics contains 230 papers, including eight keynote and themed lectures representing the state-of-the-art in physical modelling research in aspects as diverse as fundamental modelling including sensors, imaging, modelling techniques and scaling, onshore and offshore foundations, dams and embankments, retaining walls and deep excavations, ground improvement and environmental engineering, tunnels and geohazards including significant contributions in the area of seismic engineering. ISSMGE TC104 have identified areas for special attention including education in physical modelling and the promotion of physical modelling to industry. With this in mind there is a special themed paper on education, focusing on both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as well as practicing geotechnical engineers. Physical modelling has entered a new era with the advent of exciting work on real time interfaces between physical and numerical modelling and the growth of facilities and expertise that enable development of so called ‘megafuges’ of 1000gtonne capacity or more; capable of modelling the largest and most complex of geotechnical challenges. Physical Modelling in Geotechnics will be of interest to professionals, engineers and academics interested or involved in geotechnics, geotechnical engineering and related areas. The 9th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics was organised by the Multi Scale Geotechnical Engineering Research Centre at City, University of London under the auspices of Technical Committee 104 of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). City, University of London, are pleased to host the prestigious international conference for the first time having initiated and hosted the first regional conference, Eurofuge, ten years ago in 2008. Quadrennial regional conferences in both Europe and Asia are now well established events giving doctoral researchers, in particular, the opportunity to attend an international conference in this rapidly evolving specialist area. This is volume 2 of a 2-volume set.

Book Description
Cette technique de renforcement associe un réseau d'inclusions et un matelas constitué de sol granulaire, intercalé entre le sol renforcé et l'ouvrage. Dans ce matelas se développement des voûtes qui transfèrent partiellement les charges vers les inclusions, permettant ainsi la réduction et l'homogénéisation des tassements en surface du massif renforcé. Le renforcement peut être complété par une nappe géosynthétique en base du matelas. Les domaines d'application sont les fondations de remblais routiers et ferroviaires et les fondations de zones industrielles. Les différents éléments de ce système sont en interactions complexes. Ce travail contribue à la compréhension du comportement de ce type d'ouvrage, et s'intéresse plus particulièrement à la modélisation des mécanismes se développant dans le matelas de transfert de charge. Une base de données expérimentale est constituée, afin de servir de référence à des modélisations numériques. Pour cela, un modèle physique bidimensionnel mettant en œuvre des matériaux analogiques est développé. La première étape de la modélisation numérique consiste en une modélisation bidimensionnelle en milieu continu, validée à partir des résultats expérimentaux obtenus. Des modèles de comportement spécifiques aux divers matériaux sont mis en œuvre. L'analyse est étendue numériquement. La seconde étape de la modélisation tridimensionnelle en milieu continu de cas réaliste. Les comportements du sol du matelas et du sol compressible sont pris en compte par des modèles de diverses complexités. Le système est d'abord pris en compte par une cellule élémentaire, puis par une section courante de remblai.
