Abstract: Site characterization for the design of geotechnical structures such as deep foundations is crucial, as unanticipated site conditions still represent the most common and most significant cause of problems and disputes that ...

Abstract: The spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method is a nondestructive test for characterization of the variation with depth of the shear modulus of soils. While the testing procedure is well developed, only one preliminary ...

Abstract: Creep testing of oriented strand board/foam structural insulated panels (SIPs) was conducted to measure the midspan creep deflections of SIP beams loaded in quarter point and to test the effects of SIP thickness, load ...
