Abstract: Calculation of volume changes by constitutive models for soils and correct transition from contraction to dilation is important for prediction of undrained conditions under which developing pore water pressures may result ...

Abstract: Stress relaxation and stress drop-relaxation tests have been performed to complement a test series performed to study strain rate, creep, and stress drop-creep effects on crushed coral sand. Drained experiments with constant ...

Abstract: The part of sand behavior that is affected by time, such as creep, relaxation, and loading rate effects are not similar to those observed for clay. To throw more light on the time effects in sand, many series of drained ...

Abstract: n August and September of 2010, measurements of turbulent fluxes and turbulent kinetic energy were made on highways in the Toronto area (Ontario, Canada). In situ turbulence measurements were made with a mobile laboratory ...
