Abstract: Strength anisotropy should be introduced into stability analyses, because the shear direction differs at each sliding point. However, few experiments evaluating the effects of anisotropic consolidation on undrained shear ...

Abstract: The independent support motion (ISM) response spectrum method is currently used in seismic analysis to calculate the response of piping systems subjected to independent excitations at several points of a supporting structure. ...

Abstract: Extended blockages in a pipeline system are expected to impose changes onto the system resonant frequencies where the size and nature of the frequency shifts can be used to determine the blockage characteristics. Although ...
