Abstract: The effects of streamwise aspect ratio (AR) on the asymmetric wake flow over and behind right-angled trapezoidal cylinders with AR (= upper cylinder length to height ratio) = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were investigated using ...

Abstract: Turbulent flows around a square cylinder and a rectangular cylinder with a streamwise aspect ratio (length-to-height) of 5 in a uniform flow were investigated using time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV). The ...

Abstract: Partial drainage during a penetration test increases the penetration resistance, and also affects the excess pore pressures generated and the form of any subsequent dissipation test. This complicates interpretation of such ...

Abstract: We present a formal methodology to integrate basic materials research results into a design procedure for engineering components. Although the methodology is generic, we demonstrate its development ...

Abstract: A particle image velocimetry is used to study the mean and turbulent fields of separated and redeveloping flow over square, rectangular, and semicircular blocks fixed to the bottom wall of an ...

Abstract: A CPT-based method is presented for estimating the self-weight penetration and suction required during the installation of suction caissons in medium dense to dense sand. Existing methods, although fundamental in nature, ...

Abstract: A tensegrity structure composed of six struts interconnected with 24 elastic cables is used as a quantitative model of the steady-state elastic response of cells, with the struts and cables ...

Abstract: The piled raft is a geotechnical composite construction, consisting of the three elements piles, raft, and soil, which is applied for the foundation of tall buildings in an increasing number. In a parametric study, 259 ...
