Abstract: This paper describes the personal experiences of the chief executive officer of a small U.S. company working in the global marketplace. It uses these experiences to provide some guidance to those unfamiliar with working ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model for calculating permanent strains and stresses in sand caused by cyclic loading. The model is fitted to the results of drained static and cyclic triaxial tests. The model can predict ...

Abstract: This paper aims to demystify the use of risk assessment as a decision management tool and present a methodology that places quantitative risk assessment within reach of every geotechnical engineer, even for routine engineering ...

Abstract: An analytical model has been developed to predict permanent stresses and strains in sands under cyclic loading for general drainage and boundary conditions. Here the model is combined with the finite element method to ...
