Abstract: Experimental evidence is produced using two soils that support the hypothesis that small-scale models frozen on a centrifuge for several hours can simulate correctly full-scale soil freezing response developing in the field ...

Abstract: The FROST numerical model was used to predict frost heave developing in centrifuge soil models. When uncalibrated predictions of heave using Gardner's coefficients were selected from accompanying FROST documentation based ...

Abstract: Both practitioners and academic researchers have become exasperated by what they perceive to be a disappointingly small impact of research spending on practice. Obstacles to successful implementation of academic geotechnical ...

Abstract: Preliminary results of small-scale model compaction grouting tests performed in a geotechnical centrifuge are presented. The soil response to a one-stage grout bulb injection in dry uniform sand was examined at various ...

Abstract: Sinkhole development in a profile with a weakly cemented sand overlain by an uncemented sand and underlain by a karst limestone was studied using 51 reduced-scale stress-correct centrifuge models. The interaction between ...

Abstract: A total of 51 model tests of cratering and soil loosening were conducted using small charges of pentaerythritol tetranitrate detonated at different depths of burial and different gravitational accelerations in a lunar soil ...

Abstract: Twelve model tests of chemical explosives (1 g and 0.25 g) of PETN were conducted at 1 g (

Abstract: The utilization of explosives for excavation on the lunar surface is under serious consideration as a part of the design for construction of temporary and permanent bases. An excavation research program has shown that ...
