Abstract: An improved interpretation method of the pressuremeter test is presented. The geometric nonlinearity of soil behavior is accounted for by adopting a nonlinear strain‐displacement relationship (Eulerian form). Also, the ...

Abstract: A vertically faced 90-deg wedge-shaped pier on the Rideau river in Ottawa has been instrumented to measure ice impact forces. The pier is fitted with a frame which allows various sensors to ...

Abstract: The effect of Poisson's ratio on the disturbance index is considered by obtaining solutions to expansion of cylindrical cavities in layered elastic system. For a specific size of the remolded annulus, the disturbance index ...

Abstract: A new formula is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of axially loaded pile groups. The derivation of the formula is based on the premise that the group effect can be taken into consideration only for the load component ...

Abstract: In this study, a three-dimensional finite-element analysis (FEA) was conducted to study the parameters that affect the maximum flexural fatigue capacity of RC beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. ...

Abstract: In this paper, a three-dimensional finite-element (FE) analysis was carried out to study the effect of new variables on predicting the ultimate shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a research program of modeling multi-phase granular flow. Both single-phase granular flow and two-phase liquid/granular flow in a pressure vessel were considered. For the ...
