Abstract: This paper proposes an analytical approach predicting the development and progress of the plastic zone around a wellbore drilled in linear hardening or softening Drucker-Prager rocks in a theoretically consistent way. With ...

Abstract: The results of two‐dimensional (axisymmetric) finite element analyses of a clay sea bed located in the Canadian Beaufort Sea are described herein. The sea bed is subjected to loads associated with excavation, construction ...

Abstract: The physico‐chemical processes of advection, dispersion, adsorption, and degradation that control pollutant transport processes in groundwater are described. Dimensional analysis is presented, and the scaling requirements ...

Abstract: Some initial results of centrifuge model tests to examine the mechanism causing flow failure of a less permeable layer resting on a more permeable layer, subjected to seismic loading conditions, is presented. The centrifuge ...

Abstract: A simplified method of analysis for determining the permanent displacement of a clay core in a heterogeneous earth dam subjected to dynamic excitation is discussed. Centrifuge studies on three identical models were used ...
