Ultimate Bearing Capacity Tests on Sand with Clay Layer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Loading tests on nonuniform sand beds with a clay layer are carried out to make the effect of an interstratified weak layer on the ultimate bearing capacity clear. The tests are done under plane strain conditions using a ...
Reconnaissance of Golcuk 1999 Earthquake Damage Using Satellite Images
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study utilizes remotely sensed pre- and post-disaster images in order to detect any change specifically associated with structural and major regional damage caused by natural disasters such as a strong earthquake. ...
Equivalence between Kriging and CPDF Methods for Conditional Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Currently the kriging and conditional probability density function (CPDF) methods are widely used in solving the conditional simulation problems involving stochastic processes and fields. For the fundamental understanding ...

Rolling Resistance at Contacts in Simulation of Shear Band Development by DEM
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To simulate numerically the microstructure of shear bands, the distinct element method was modified such that the effect of rolling resistance at contacts could be taken into account. To this end, the relative movement by ...
Simulation of Stochastic Fields by Statistical Preconditioning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new stochastic fields simulation technique that can realize prescribed means and covariances with a substantially smaller sample size than that of other existing methods is developed. The method utilizes the modal ...
