Abstract: Immiscible flow governs the macroscopic behavior of aqueous and non-aqueous phase liquids inside the porous media. Ganglia generation and movement of the advancing front during fluid displacement can only be described by ...

Abstract: An implicit integration algorithm has been refined to predict the stress–strain–strength response of unsaturated soil under suction-controlled, multiaxial stress paths that are not achievable in a conventional cylindrical ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of saturated geomaterials is largely governed by the interaction of the solid skeleton with the fluids present in the pore structure. Traditional geotechnical analyses, commonly based on simplified ...

Abstract: It is widely accepted that the mechanical behavior of saturated geomaterials is largely governed by the interaction of the solid skeleton with the fluids present in the pore structure. This interaction is particularly ...

Abstract: This paper presents a kinematic analysis of a single pile embedded in a laterally spreading layered soil profile and discusses the relevancy of conventional analysis models to this load case. The research encompasses the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computer-based innovative instructional approach for training potential users of the geotechnical triaxial device. The proposed approach provides the user with a tool to gain a thorough understanding ...

Abstract: As the tsunami threat across the Pacific coast becomes better understood, vertical evacuation structures are being widely considered in order to improve life safety. The design of such structures requires careful consideration ...

Abstract: A large-scale physical model was constructed in the Large Wave Flume of Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory (HWRL) at Oregon State University to develop a dataset of measured pressures and forces acting on an elevated, coastal ...
