Abstract: An original experimental device is used to reproduce conditions of orthogonal cutting for a wide range of cutting speeds (from 15 to about 100 m/s) (Sutter et al.). Improvement of the initial ...

Abstract: Agarose, a derivative of the natural polymer, agar, is proposed as an impregnate to stabilize the in-situ structure of cohesionless soils before sampling. The gel solution is injected into the in-situ voids after heating ...

Abstract: A new high speed machining experiment is designed to obtain orthogonal cutting in a wide range of cutting speeds from 7 m/s to 100 m/s. Quasi-stationary cutting conditions are obtained. The ...

Abstract: ASCE has developed an aspirational vision of the profession that deals aggressively with pressing emergent issues. The vision demands development of many aspects of the profession, including both specialized knowledge and ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to provide a simple methodology to conduct preliminary seismic assessment and ranking of bridge embankments in order to identify and prioritize embankments that are susceptible to failure. A ...
