About this Series
Sustainable Infrastructure impacts our well-being and day-to-day lives. The
infrastructures we are building today will shape our lives tomorrow. The complex
and diverse nature of the impacts due to weather extremes on transportation and
civil infrastructures can be seen in our roadways, bridges, and buildings. Extreme
summer temperatures, droughts, flash floods, and rising numbers of freeze-thaw
cycles pose challenges for civil infrastructure and can endanger public safety. We
constantly hear how civil infrastructures need constant attention, preservation, and
upgrading. Such improvements and developments would obviously benefit from
ourdesired bookseries thatprovidesustainable engineering materials anddesigns.
The economic impact is huge and much research has been conducted worldwide.
The future holds many opportunities, not only for researchers in a given country,
but also for the worldwide field engineers who apply and implement these
technologies. We believe that no approach can succeed if it does not unite the
efforts of various engineering disciplines from all over the world under one
umbrellatoofferabeaconofmodernsolutionstotheglobalinfrastructure.Experts
from the various engineering disciplines around the globe will participate in this
series, including: Geotechnical, Geological, Geoscience, Petroleum, Structural,
Transportation, Bridge, Infrastructure, Energy, Architectural, Chemical and
Materials, and other related Engineering disciplines.

shape our communities tomorrow; however, all infrastructures should be designed
and delivered with environmental sustainability. The challenges to achieve sus-

in our civil infrastructures include our design for extreme temperatures, floods,
droughts, earthquakes, and other geohazards. Delivering environmentally sustain-
able infrastructures efficiently has been at the core of many problems for civil
engineering practitioners, and extensive researches have been performed. The

Abstract. Discrete element method (DEM) is gaining its popularity in inves-
tigating many complicated geotechnical related problems due to its discontin-
uous nature in simulating granular materials. Particularly when simulating the
processes involving large deformation and displacement of soil (e.g. pile pen-
etration),DEMdemonstratesdistinctadvantagesoverothernumericalsolutions
that may confront convergence problems. Despite the facts that DEM analysis
hasbeenconductedtostudythemechanismofthecavityexpansion,thereisa
verylimitednumberofinvestigationsconductedtostudytheeffectsoftheinitial
stress field on the soil response. Hence, in this study, a three-dimensional
numerical analysis has been conducted using PFC3D to investigate the soil
response under different initial stress conditions during cavity expansion.
A large-scale model containing an adequate number of particles has been
constructed to simulate the soil medium, in which, microscopic contact prop-
erties were calibrated against existing experimental data to mimic the realistic
behaviour of asandysoil. Toexamine the effects of the initial in-situ stresses,
