Models to Assess the Susceptibility of Soils to Excessive Compaction

TL;DR: According to McKibben as discussed by the authors, between 1948 and 1968 the average weight of tractors increased from 2.7 to 4.5 tons, with larger units weighing more than 22.4 tons.

Extensional collapse of the Tibetan Plateau: Results of three‐dimensional finite element modeling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the major factors contributing to the Tibetan extension in a three-dimensional viscoelastic model that includes both lateral and vertical variations of lithospheric rheology and relevant boundary conditions.

Load‐Deformation Response of Axially Loaded Piles

TL;DR: In this article, a new empirical scheme for simulating the nonlinear point resistance response of single piles in cohesionless soils is proposed, which is idealized by using a one-dimensional finite element technique.

Difference between In Situ Flexible Pavement Measured and Calculated Stresses and Strains

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared measured vertical compressive stress and measured transverse horizontal strain under the hot-mix asphalt (HMA) layer induced by a 25.8 kN (5.8kip) single tire and a 39.5kN (8.9 kip) set of dual tires to those calculated using layered linear elastic theory and found that the layered elastic theory overestimates pavement responses at low and intermediate temperatures, but significantly underestimates the pavement responses to vehicular loading at high temperatures.

Crustal thickening and lateral extrusion during the Indo-Asian collision: A 3D viscous flow model

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D viscous flow model was presented to simulate the partitioning of crustal material between thickening and lateral extrusion during the Indo-Asian collision, and the results showed that much of the early collision was absorbed by crustal thickening within the Himalayan-Tibetan plateau.
