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: A method for assessing stability of slurry trenches within an inclined ground surface is presented using the Coulomb-type force equilibrium method. The influence of ground surface inclination on trench stability and angle ...

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: Slurry trenches are often used to impede groundwater flow or to contain soil and groundwater contamination. The stability of the slurry trench during excavation and prior to backfilling is a major concern in design. A ...

Abstract: The monocaisson foundation has become an important choice with the increasing demand of offshore wind turbines constructed in silt and sand seabeds in China. To guarantee the normal operation of the wind turbine, the angular ...

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 ...
