Abstract: The basic objective of a self‐boring pressuremeter (SBPM) test is to insert a cylindrical probe into the ground with a minimum of disturbance and expand the membrane covering the probe so as to load the soil to failure. ...

Abstract: An analysis of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) related precipitation changes in New Caledonia, southwestern tropical Pacific, based on 21 selected stations covering the 1969?98 period is performed. The analysis at the ...

Abstract: Two analytical models for interpreting piezocone penetration tests (CPTUs) in soft sensitive Presumpscot clay were applied to in situ and laboratory results from a highway embankment project in Dover, New Hampshire. A ...

Abstract: This paper describes the use of an instrumented dilatometer (IDMT) equipped with sensors designed to record the continuous displacement of the membrane, the total pressure, and the pore water pressure. The IDMT was tested ...

Abstract: A series of dilatometer test profiles were carried out in a calibration chamber on Toyoura sand using a standard blade and a special research dilatometer. Pluviated sand samples were prepared using various combinations of ...

Abstract: The geotechnical properties of a mixture of municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash and municipal wastewater treatment plant sludge was investigated for a proposed ash/sludge secure landfill. The components as well ...

Abstract: delayed-mode calibration procedure is presented to improve the quality of hydrographic data from CTD?Satellite Relay Data Loggers (CTD?SRDL) deployed on elephant seals. This procedure is applied on a dataset obtained with ...
