Abstract: This study numerically evaluated the combined effects of different controlling factors (i.e., wall height, stresses induced during backfill compaction, reinforcement stiffness, toe conditions, and facing stiffness) on the ...

Abstract: Speed and direction performances of flowmeters, designed by the authors for in-house use, employing an Aanderaa-type curved-bladed Savonius rotor and a free vane and an Aanderaa-type flat-bladed Savonius rotor and a fixed ...

Abstract: A method for the internal design of reinforced soil walls based on working stresses is developed and evaluated using measurements from five full‐scale structures containing a range of reinforcement types. It is shown that, ...

Abstract: The permeability of thermal protection blankets is measured by flowing air and helium at pressure differentials of up to 33.3 kPa across the material. Flow in both the viscous and slip regime is demonstrated by varying the ...

Abstract: To characterize cryogenic pump performance, at least one parameter in addition to flow coefficient and cavitation number is required. This parameter arises because the heat of vaporization and other physical parameters ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of ochre formation in geotextile filters. Ochre is a substance found sticking to solid surfaces of drainage systems that may cause clogging. The accumulation of such materials in a drainage ...
