Abstract: A simple method is developed for determining the unsteady state phreatic surface in earth dams as a function of time. The method is useful for the stability analysis of temporary dams where the steady state seepage condition ...

Abstract: A finite element method programmed for a computer is presented for determining the stresses and deflections in multiple slabs on elastic solids. The method is an extension to that presented in a previous paper by applying ...

Abstract: The use of alphalt pavements as railroad trackbeds has received considerable attention in recent years. However, very little is known about the design of such pavements for railroad use. A comparison between highway and ...
