TL;DR: The LEAP-GWU-2015 experiment as mentioned in this paper was designed for uniform medium dense sand with a 5 degree slope in a rigid container subject to a ramped, 1-Hz sine wave base motion.

TL;DR: The main theme of the US-LEAP-2015 project was lateral spreading of sloping liquefiable soils as mentioned in this paper, and a summary of the results of the laboratory element tests performed on the selected soil (Ottawa F-65) is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element solution of the hyperbolic heat conduction equations is addressed and the governing system of equations is solved for the temperature and heat fluxes as independent variables.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of three classes of explicit and implicit time-stepping integrators for a cyclic plasticity constitutive model for sands is evaluated through a series of numerical simulations ranging from simulations of laboratory tests (such as triaxial and biaxial compression, direct shear, and cyclic triaxials tests) to the analysis of a typical boundary value problem of geotechnical earthquake engineering.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a methodological approach for finite element simulation of pretensioned concrete members, which is based on elastoplastic material behaviors as well as mesh sensitivity.
