Abstract: A consolidating clay layer can be singly or doubly drained. The degree of consolidation is a function of the initial excess pore pressure distribution and the drainage conditions. Traditional geotechnical engineering ...

Abstract: Although the consolidation settlements beneath foundations and embankments are rarely one dimensional, Terzaghi’s one-dimensional consolidation theory is often applied to these situations to approximate consolidation ...

Abstract: The common analysis technique for field records of wind waves is the variance spectrum. The phase spectrum, half of the information available from the record, is routinely ignored on the assumption that the Gaussian random ...

Abstract: In the design of large and tall storage containers/structures such as silos, hoppers, and mine stopes, it is often required to determine the stresses within the container, especially at the bottom where stresses are the ...
