Abstract: An experimental study of flow-induced failure of cable-tied blocks is presented. The particular failure mechanism studied is overturning and rolling up of the leading edge of a cable-tied block mat. Individual blocks were ...

Abstract: An experimental study of scour countermeasures for spill-through abutments situated on the flood plain of a compound channel is reported. The purpose of the study was to determine the variations in the scour hole geometry ...

Abstract: An experimental study of scour countermeasures for wing-wall abutments under mobile-bed conditions is reported. The purpose of the study was to determine the required apron size to protect a wing-wall abutment from scour ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation of riprap stability at wing-wall abutments are reported. The aim of the experiments was the determination of the size of riprap stones necessary to resist shear failure by the ...

Abstract: The severity of surface manifestation of liquefaction is commonly used as a proxy for liquefaction damage potential. As a result, manifestation severity index (MSI) models are more commonly being used in conjunction with ...
