Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation designed to assess the impact of pile end condition on the capacity of piles installed in soft clay. A series of field tests are described in which instrumented open-ended ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a field investigation into pile aging in soft clay that was conducted over a period of 10 years. Static load tests were conducted after the excess pore pressure generated by the installation ...

Abstract: Offshore piles are subjected to complex loading regimes that include both rapidly applied static and cyclic loads. This paper describes an experimental investigation conducted to assess the factors influencing the response ...

Abstract: Snow extent and snow depth are two related characteristics of a snowpack, but they do not need to be mutually consistent. Differences between these two variables at local scales are readily apparent. However, at larger ...

Abstract: Snow?atmosphere relationships have been studied for nearly half a century, but the primary focus has been on snow extent variability, largely because of the relative scarcity of snow depth data. A recently released North ...

Abstract: The zonal modulation of baroclinic disturbances is studied in a quasigeostrophic two-layer periodic channel. The system is relaxed toward an unstable state with a uniform flow in each layer. For small criticality, two ...

Abstract: Autumns in the Northern Hemisphere during the 1974?78 pentad were substantially cooler than in the pentad ending in 1938. Zonally averaged surface air temperature in October along latitude 80°N was 4.8°C lower, while summers ...

Abstract: The radial, lateral, and tangential stiffness of spoked bicycle wheels depends upon the rim's bending inertia, torsional inertia, the spoke sizes, and the spoke geometry. The spokes of three rear bicycle wheels of different ...

Abstract: In recent years, there has been a significant push to develop optimized pile designs in the offshore industry, driven by the growth of offshore wind. One of the largest remaining uncertainties governing axial pile design ...
