Application of a Stress-Fractional Model for Capturing the Stress-Strain Behavior of Granular Soils by Wei Lu, Jiangong Yang, Jinan Wang

“…To validate the developed model, the well-documented test results of Firoozkuh No. 161 sand and crushed basalt are simulated and discussed. It is found that the stress-fractional model can reasonably simulate the undrained and drained behaviors of granular soils consolidated with different densities and mean effective pressures.…”

Metal staples in the construction of the central building of the Belvoir fortress (Kokhav Ha Yarden, Israel) by Laurent D’Agostino

“…The staples are observed only on the exterior facings of the peripheral walls of the keep and the towers, at the level of the basalt embankments. Questions relating to the site first affect the distribution of these staples and their role in the construction: they are not only present at the level of the arrow-slits, which they consolidate, but also more regularly with each siding course of the embankments and near the quoining blocks connecting the towers to the central building. …”
