Abstract: This study examines the load-deformation response of sands subjected to high- and low-stress cycles, i.e., both ends of the Wöhler’s fatigue curve. At high peak cyclic stress σf, the terminal void ratio decreases with ...

Abstract: Mineral dissolution is a common chemomechanical digenetic process in geological systems. The penetration resistance in sediments that have experienced dissolution is studied using a laboratory-scale cone penetration test ...

Abstract: The long-term displacement of thermoactive piles subjected to static load and thermal cycles is analyzed using the numerical solution of the one-dimensional load-transfer method modified to account for thermoelastic effects. ...

Abstract: Adequate knowledge of the in situ state of stress can be essential to the analysis of geotechnical systems. However, the measurement and prediction of

Abstract: The 75-μm particle size is used to discriminate between fine and coarse grains. Further analysis of fine grains is typically based on the plasticity chart. Whereas pore-fluid-chemistry-dependent soil response is a salient ...

Abstract: Various laboratory and field techniques used to study geomaterials utilize the principles of electromagnetism. Applications in geotechnical engineering such as resistivity profiling, induced polarization, ground-penetrating ...

Abstract: A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) that is designed specifically to adapt to changes in production capacity, through system reconfiguration, is called a scalable-RMS. The set of system ...
