Abstract: Twenty-four reduced scale models of vertical and steeply sloping (1

Abstract: Data are presented for thirty-three geotechnical centrifuge models of reinforced soil retaining walls in which the effects on wall behavior of foundation and retained fill are studied. The results indicate that the retained ...

Abstract: Freezing behavior of clay differs from that of silt. This difference stems primarily from the low permeability or hydraulic conductivity of clay, and the higher water content of saturated clay. Freezing effects include ...

Abstract: This study reviews research carried out in the U.K. to understand and improve the robustness of buildings when subject to blast from high explosive bombs. The work concentrates on the performance of ordinary civilian ...

Abstract: Certrifuge model tests are used to identify the path of dyed ethylene glycol (antifreeze) when it leaks from a cylinder buried in freezing or frozen silt at different times during the freezing cycle. The paths followed are ...
