Abstract: A new empirical method, called the EPOLLS model, is developed for predicting ground surface displacements due to liquefaction-induced lateral spreading. Lateral spreading is defined as the mostly horizontal deformation of ...

Abstract: A comprehensive investigation of the performance of a deep‐corrugated steel box‐type culvert is described. The design of this culvert is unique in that a 140‐mm‐deep corrugated cross section is employed without the use of ...

Abstract: Most of the current design guidelines for metal box‐type culverts have been developed based on finite‐element analysis, in which the soil is modeled with plane strain and the culvert is represented with beam‐column elements. ...

Abstract: An automated quality assessment technique is proposed for rapidly detecting excessive size variations during the production of stone aggregates. The system uses a laser profiler to scan collections of aggregate particles ...

Abstract: The “laser-based aggregate scanning system” (LASS) was developed to rapidly and accurately characterize the three-dimensional shape properties of unbound stone aggregates. A linear motion slide, a laser line scanner, and ...
