Abstract: Both nonlinear P-y curves and nondimensional methods for lateral load pile design require the evaluation, measurement, or calculation of a soil horizontal modulus value. Current researchers and foundation design engineers ...

Abstract: The method of Interpolated Mapping is extended to encompass the calculation of transient system behavior, specifically the efficient determination of the Lyapunov exponents for a simple nonlinear ...

Abstract: The paper presents a case study for numerical analysis of the consolidation behavior of an instrumented trial embankment constructed on a soft soil foundation. Details are given to the geological profile, field instrumentation, ...

Abstract: Lateral flow fields in four subchannels of a model rod bundle fuel assembly are experimentally measured using particle image velocimetry. Vanes (split-vane pairs) are located on the downstream ...
