On Cross-Anisotropy of Flexible Pavement Layer Materials for Improved Pavement Responses
… and horizontal modulus (i.e., \u2260 ) are cross-anisotropic. Past studies have reported that degree of cross-anisotropy, ( ) ranges from 0.2 to 0.85 in Asphalt Concrete (AC) layers. Yet, the presence of cross-anisotropy is not considered in pavement layers for determining stress and …

Experimental investigation and constitutive modeling of marine clay
A new cross-anisotropic elasto-plastic constitutive model is developed based on experimental observations of marine clay from the Gulf of Mexico. Standard triaxial and torsional simple shear tests performed on the aforementioned clay demonstrate that the soil exhibits a cross-anisotropic behavior …

The measurement and interpretation of small strain stiffness of soils
… results of bender element tests examining the anisotropy of Gmax of both natural and reconstituted clays. The work investigates both the stress induced and inherent components of anisotropy related to an axi-symmetric stress state or cross anisotropy of the soil fabric. The results show that …

From some obscurity to clarity in Boom clay behavior: Analysis of its coupled hydro-mechanical response in the presence of strain localization
… of the initial anisotropic stresses, mechanical cross-anisotropy, anisotropic permeabilities, and gravity effects. As a result, an eye-shape extension of EDZ accompanied by an anisotropic convergence of the rock is predicted. A coupled analysis addresses the pore water pressure distribution …
