Abstract: The behavior of marble was investigated to evaluate the damage and failure mechanisms produced from cyclic loading. Approximately 100 cycles of increasing load steps, representing low cycle fatigue, were imposed on beams ...

Abstract: The Berea sandstone used in this study is transversely isotropic with respect to elastic response, with

Abstract: The output from an earth pressure cell (EPC) is usually related to the normal stress in soil through fluid calibration, where a known pressure is applied to the EPC and the output is recorded. However, distribution of ...

Abstract: Earth pressure cells, tiltmeters, strain gauges, inclinometer casings, and survey reflectors were installed during construction of a reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall. A data acquisition system with remote ...

Abstract: Records of pile lengths are not available for several hundred high-mast light towers (HMLTs) throughout the state of Minnesota. The foundation systems, typically steel H-piles or concrete-filled steel pipe piles connected ...

Abstract: Two methods are proposed to correct stresses measured with the thermal stress restrained specimen test (TSRST) due to specimen bending. The first method estimates the bending stress from the angle of rotation of the specimen ...
