Abstract: Combined vertical and radial consolidation drainage under linear time-dependent loading is presented with varying loading-dependent coefficients of vertical and radial consolidation determined analytically and experimentally. ...

Abstract: This paper extends Olson’s solution for one-dimensional consolidation under time-dependent loading with the assumption of constant coefficient of consolidation, to those with varying loading-dependent coefficients of ...

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to study the effect of rest periods on the fatigue response of asphalt concrete mixtures due to the repeated loading applications by using linear elastic fracture mechanics and Schapery's ...

Abstract: This paper presents the soil friction restraint on oblique pipelines in loose sand. A series of experimental tests are conducted in a prefabricated large-scale drag box with dimensions 1.83 m × 1.83 m × 1.22 m. Model pipes ...

Abstract: The soil restraints to oblique movement of buried pipes in dense sand were investigated. Model pipes 0.61 m long with diameters of 152.4, 228.6, and 304.8 mm were obliquely moved from an axial-longitudinal to a lateral-transversal ...
