Abstract: A model for predicting the dynamic response and liquefaction of earth structures was developed. The model was based on Biot's theory for the propagation of elastic waves in a porous medium and an empirical relation put ...

Abstract: Consolidation of unsaturated soil depends upon changes in stress‐state variables resulting from applied stress and movement of pore water and gas. Water movement is highly dependent on heat flow, and much water movement ...

Abstract: Lunar soil consists of dry silty sand. Observations and measurements conducted during Surveyor, Apollo, and Luna missions indicated that the lunar soil is unusually cohesive. This is attributable to the fact that thick ...

Abstract: Determination of Mars soil mechanical properties will improve future lander mission success and provide narrower constraints for geomorphological modeling. A soil mechanics investigation was conducted wherein soil mechanical ...

Abstract: Benchmarks are typically regarded as stable points to provide references for elevations. In areas with expansive soils, special techniques are necessary to provide benchmarks that are free from ground movements. To prevent ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes discussions held at the 1990 National Forum on Education and Continuing Development of Civil Engineering concerning geotechnical engineering education. We can attract better students by improving the ...

Abstract: In this research, a passenger-centric passenger information system is proposed, which uses crowd sourcing and mobile phones so that passengers are not only information consumers but are also providers of information to the ...
