Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of stone columns in a weak deposit such as peat. It evaluates the effects of reinforcing stone columns by jacketing with a tubular wire mesh and bridging reinforcement with a metal ...

Abstract: The inclusion of granular columns in soft clay deposits leads to improvements in bearing capacity and overall stiffness, along with a reduction in consolidation settlement. Many laboratory investigations have focused on ...

Abstract: The solid-gas contacting for thermal storage and thermal recovery is generally carried out in fixed-bed regenerators. Compared to a fixed bed, higher thermal recovery can be achieved in a moving ...

Abstract: One of the ways to install plate anchors in deep seabed is to drop the anchor system from the sea level and allow it to initially embed in the seabed under its own weight. Further dragging would cause the anchor to rotate ...
