RISThe Role of Advection in Determining the Temperature Structure of the Irish Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The temperature structure of the Irish Sea is investigated using a 3-yr simulation with a high-resolution (?1.8 km) three-dimensional baroclinic model (the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory Coastal-Ocean Modelling System) ...
Influence of Partial Consolidation during Cone Penetration on Estimated Soil Behavior Type and Pore Pressure Dissipation Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Estimation of soil behavior type from cone penetration testing, and the interpretation of dissipation tests, is complicated in intermediate soil types, such as silty sands, sandy silts, etc., where partial consolidation ...
Influence of Particle Properties and Initial Specimen State on One-Dimensional Compression and Hydraulic Conductivity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Particle crushing can adversely affect geotechnical system performance; examples include clogging in wells, pile shaft capacity degradation, and postconstruction settlements. The generation of fines results in volumetric ...
Role of Initial State, Material Properties, and Confinement Condition on Local and Global Soil-Structure Interface Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Difficulty in predicting the transfer of load from a structural element to the surrounding soil has limited the reliability of geotechnical design and performance. The remaining uncertainty in load transfer mechanics is ...
In Situ Assessment of Role of Surface Roughness on Interface Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Improved design methods that allow for more accurate prediction of interface performance are needed as the number and types of interface strength dependent geotechnical systems being used in practice continues to increase. ...
PnET-II3SL/SWAT: Modeling the Combined Effects of Forests and Agriculture on Water Availability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The climate change and variability phenomenon, because of its potential to exert significant influences on the hydrologic cycle, the economy, and human society as a whole, has drawn considerable attention from the scientific ...
Effects of Bacterial Density on Growth Rate and Characteristics of Microbial-Induced CaCO3 Precipitates: Particle-Scale Experimental Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been explored for more than a decade as a promising soil improvement technique. However, it is still challenging to predict and control the growth rate and characteristics ...
Influence of Particle Size and Gradation on Liquefaction Potential and Dynamic Response
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Centrifuge testing data are presented to elucidate the influence of particle size and gradation on liquefaction potential and dynamic response. The physical, index, and material properties of nine test soil mixtures, sharing ...
Effect of Gradation on the Strength and Stress-Dilation Behavior of Coarse-Grained Soils in Drained and Undrained Triaxial Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Geotechnical engineering practice commonly estimates the properties and behavior of well-graded soils using methods and relationships developed based on the behavior of clean, poorly graded coarse-grained soils. The influence ...
Role of Initial State, Material Properties, and Confinement Condition on Local and Global Soil–Structure Interface Behavior during Cyclic Shear
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Accurate prediction of the load transfer response of a geosystem requires an understanding of the micromechanical, or local, behavior of individual particles at the soil–structure interface. The difficulty in predicting ...
