Abstract: Equations for seismic ray‐path curvature are presented for both linear and nonlinear velocity versus depth models. Techniques are then developed for correcting cross‐hole results for ray‐path curvature and for determining ...

Abstract: The increase in slope stability by application of discrete surface loads depends in part on the orientation of the load. For stabilization systems such as anchored geosynthetics, the load orientation corresponds to the ...

Abstract: A procedure is presented for estimating the small strain shear modulus

Abstract: The use of computational geometry methods for determining soil roundness (R) and sphericity (S) were evaluated and extended to particles segmented from images of three-dimensional particle assemblies. Two Adobe Photoshop ...

Abstract: The success of an anchored geosynthetic system depends in large part on the ability of the system to remain tensioned after installation. For pinned‐anchor and spring‐steel collar connectors, the pullout stiffness of the ...

Abstract: A method for determination of average grain size from images of fairly uniform particle size soil masses is presented. The procedure utilizes two-dimensional wavelet decomposition of gray scale images. Earlier attempts to ...
