Abstract: In centrifuge modeling, it is important to evaluate the in-flight strength and stiffness parameters of the soil model to understand soil behavior. Both the shear-wave velocity (Vs) and cone tip resistance (qc) are commonly ...

Abstract: Miniature cone penetration tests were conducted in centrifuge models to investigate the effects of various testing conditions on the tip resistance including the particle size, centrifugal acceleration related to stress ...

Abstract: Rocking foundations have emerged as an attractive design to reduce the seismic loads of structures during strong earthquakes. However, they cannot be applied in the field directly because of the permanent deformation caused ...

Abstract: The dilution and plume trajectory of the tee diffuser has been investigated via the collection of experimental data for a wide range of ambient current conditions. A new dilution equation in which the stagnation effect ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present the design, fabrication, and performance test of a gap adjustable molten metal drop-on-demand (DoD) inkjet system with a cone-shaped piston head, which can eject a ...
