Abstract: Shear wave velocity

Abstract: Liquefaction of natural deposited sand-like gravelly soils has been widely reported in past earthquakes. Assessing the liquefaction resistance (CRR) of sand-like gravelly soils in a cost-effective and reliable way raises ...

Abstract: Liquefaction of granular soil deposits is one of the major causes of loss resulting from earthquakes. The accuracy of the liquefaction potential assessment at a site affects the safety and economy of an engineering project. ...

Abstract: In-flight measurement of shear-wave velocity (

Abstract: In-flight measurement of shear-wave velocity (Vs) in centrifuge model test is important for real-time characterization and has multiple engineering applications. Accurate measurement of Vs by bender elements (BE) in ...

Abstract: Large deflection is mobilized in elevated piles of nonnavigable piers and some flexible protective systems subjected to lateral ship collisions. Because the current bridge design specifications are only suitable for the ...

Abstract: Landfill gas (LFG) collection efficiency is low at many municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills in China. The relevant mechanism and potential solution for this problem are studied through laboratory gas permeability tests ...

Abstract: A mathematical model for calculating gas pressure profiles in layered landfill systems is presented. Solutions to scenarios considering a zero-pressure top boundary condition and a zero gas flux or fixed gas pressure bottom ...

Abstract: Landfill gas (LFG) is generated in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills because of the decomposition of degradable components. Gas pressure within the landfilled MSWs is of importance as cover or landfill stability may ...

Abstract: Slurry trench cutoff walls with low-permeability backfill material, such as soil-bentonite and slag-cement-bentonite, are used widely for containment of subsurface pollution. In the design of slurry walls the potential ...
