Abstract: A sandwich-type plate with metal facings and felt core, fastened by bolts, was studied using both test and finite-element analysis. This type of plate is cheap, light, damping-effective and ...

Abstract: Variation of the resilient modulus (MR), elastic modulus (E), and unconfined compression strength (qu) with the gravimetric water content (w) and soil suction (s) for four compacted fine-grained subgrade soils from Canada ...

Abstract: Hysteretic soil water retention behavior is the key information required for interpreting and predicting the hydromechanical responses of unsaturated soils during drying and wetting processes. For this reason, models capable ...
