Abstract: The strength of soil treated by cement deep mixing varies greatly, even at a single column, because of the variability of in situ soil properties, the variability of mixing effectiveness, and other factors. The variation ...

Abstract: The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) response to mesoscale eddies in sea surface temperature (SST) in the Kuroshio Extension was investigated using a high-resolution (T213L30) atmospheric general circulation model. A control ...

Abstract: The phenomenon of wave refraction due to current is an important factor in the longshore current generation and the wave transformation in the vicinities of narrow strait and river mouth. The existing numerical models of ...

Abstract: Particle breakage is a common phenomenon in granular soils and has been well observed during laboratory and in-situ pile studies. In this paper, an image analysis approach was developed to investigate the particle breakage ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation to improve the stage efficiency through the use of vaned diffusers is presented. Sixteen different vaned diffusers were tested on a model compressor rig. The results ...

Abstract: A modeling procedure to simulate stress-strain relations of sand subjected to cyclic loading is proposed. Results from drained plane strain compression, extension, and cyclic loading tests on Toyoura sand are analyzed. The ...

Abstract: Following major earthquakes that occurred in New Zealand (2010–2011) and Japan (2011), soil multiple liquefaction, or reliquefaction, regained major attention in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Not only ...

Abstract: The application of an innovative heat-storage system with metal hydride to building air-conditioning is investigated. Metal hydrides characteristically generate heat through the absorption process ...
