Abstract: The first articulation of the second type of dilatational wave propagating through fluid-saturated geomaterials has been traced to Heinrich’s formulation built on Fillunger’s framework of the mixture theory and Terzaghi’s ...

Abstract: Debris jams contribute to bridge pier failures. Previous investigations showed that a debris jam can constrict the flow cross section, enhance flow intensity, and result in significant scour. Physical modeling was conducted ...

Abstract: The water supply network is of great importance for a city, and it faces various risks such as leaks and breaks, so its risk level needs to be evaluated regularly. To propose a new and efficient method to evaluate the risk ...

Abstract: This paper presents a work to define four fundamental concepts, namely, buoyant force, submerged unit weight, seepage force, and critical hydraulic gradients, for saturated geomaterials including soils, rocks, and concrete ...
