Abstract: Efficient inspection of stainless steel overlays appears to present a particularly challenging problem due to the anisotropy that is characteristic of that material. An improved inspection technique ...

Abstract: Dynamic measurement implies determining the content of signals having spectral structure and energy changing with time, sometimes on very short time scales. Dynamic measurements can present ...

Abstract: This paper presents the writer's views on the obligations and responsibilities of the civil engineer as a member of a learned profession developed by experience, observation, and reflection during 60 yrs of practice. ...

Abstract: Observational evidence of seasonal variability below the main thermocline in the eastern North Atlantic is described, and a theoretical model of oceanic response to seasonally varying wind stress forcing is constructed to ...

Abstract: Dynamic nonlinear effective stress analysis of 45 well-documented liquefaction field case histories provides insights on the seismic response of sites where simplified liquefaction triggering procedures indicated liquefaction ...

Abstract: Several widely used field methods for estimating postliquefaction ground deformation are based on the laboratory data from one series of cyclic simple shear tests performed on one uniform clean sand reconstituted to three ...

Abstract: A cone penetration test (CPT)-based procedure to estimate liquefaction-induced ejecta severity is developed. The liquefaction ejecta demand parameter (LD) captures the amount of upward seepage pressure that can produce ...

Abstract: Liquefaction-induced ground deformation has caused major damage to bridge and wharf structures in past earthquakes. Large lateral ground displacements may induce significant forces in the foundation and superstructure, ...
