Abstract: Two series of centrifuge model tests were conducted using Nevada sand. Four saturated models placed in a mildly inclined laminar box and simulating a 6-m-thick deposit were shaken inducing liquefaction effects and lateral ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a research program of strip and circular footings resting on dry dense sand. The scale effect on the bearing capacity and the shape factor

Abstract: Engineers often model pipe/soil interaction events based on the concept of subgrade reactions originally proposed by Winkler. Engineering models often utilize beam and nonlinear/plastic spring elements to represent pipelines ...

Abstract: In cold environments, marine pipelines may be at risk from ice keels that gouge the seabed. Large quantities of material are displaced and soil deformations beneath a gouge may be substantial. ...

Abstract: Chilled gas pipelines generally traverse a long distance through various soils and may operate for decades with varying temperatures of gas, surrounding soil, and ground surface. The present study investigates the effects ...
