Abstract: Realistic seismic shearing is usually not limited to a single direction. A number of studies on the effect of multidirectional shearing have proven that soil behaves differently under multidirectional loading compared with ...

Abstract: Fatigue stresses associated with extreme storms, vessel movements, and vortex-induced vibrations are critical to the performance of steel catenary risers. The critical location for fatigue damage often occurs within the ...

Abstract: Laboratory tests demonstrated that biochar filler added to portland cement stabilized peat results in an increase of unconfined compressive strength comparable with that of a sand filler. The strength increase is significantly ...

Abstract: Over the last 50 years, the city of Venice, Italy, has observed a significant increase in the frequency of flooding. Numerous engineering solutions have been proposed, including the use of movable gates located at the three ...

Abstract: Geotechnical centrifuge tests were conducted to examine the behavior of low-aspect-ratio piles and caissons in clayey soils subject to high moment loading. Model piles with an aspect ratio of two were tested in the 150g-t ...
