Abstract: Spectral analysis of surface waves measurements are used to develop subsurface soil profiles or as a tool to delineate abandoned crown pillar structures. Finite element modeling of Rayleigh waves has practical application ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel methodology for the nondestructive evaluation of brick walls using fuzzy logic and summarizes the results of the nondestructive evaluation of the relative condition of a sidewall of a brick ...

Abstract: Local strain effects are proposed as a source of shear strength reduction in cemented particulate media, shales, and heterogeneous systems. Shear strength degradation through local straining may arise from particle ...

Abstract: Dynamic properties of soils are commonly evaluated at resonance; thus, their variation with frequency is difficult to measure. A nonresonance (NR) method has been recently used for testing soils at low frequencies and ...
