Abstract: The relationship between benthic boundary-layer velocity profiles and current meter averaging time is investigated using detailed (0.61 Hz) current measurements recorded within 1 m of the bottom on the inner continental ...

Abstract: The prediction of the shaft capacity of displacement piles in clay still relies wholly on empirical or semiempirical approaches. This paper examines the predictive abilities of five well-known methods against an extended ...

Abstract: Pile foundation design is conventionally conducted using a process of trial and error, where the dimensions of a pile are estimated and the performance is computed and compared with design criteria. The dimensions are ...

Abstract: Numerous cone penetration test (CPT)-based methods exist for calculation of the axial pile capacity in sands, but no clear guidance is presently available to assist designers in the selection of the most appropriate method. ...

Abstract: A unique dataset obtained with combinations of minisodars and 915-MHz wind profilers at the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiments (ABLE) facility in Kansas was used to examine the detailed characteristics of the nocturnal ...

Abstract: High-resolution aircraft or satellite data often require ground or image control for rectification of images, and this is best performed using control with a similar level of spatial resolution. To demonstrate the use of ...

Abstract: This work describes in situ moisture sensor comparisons that were performed in conjunction with the first Water Vapor Intensive Observation Period (IOP) conducted at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program ...

Abstract: The behavior of displacement piles in uncemented calcareous sand is investigated using field piles instrumented with a sensor that simultaneously records the radial stress and shear stress at specific locations on the pile ...
