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: Repetitive loading can induce volumetric and shear strain accumulation in soils and affect the long-term performance of engineered and natural geosystems. A hybrid numerical scheme based on the FEM is implemented to analyze ...

Abstract: In 2016, in the Chilean commune of Puerto Montt, located in the Los Lagos region, the natural disaster known as the Red Tide took place due to the proliferation of one or several species of microalgae. This phenomenon has ...

Abstract: AbstractDuring the austral summer 2015/16, severe flooding displaced over 170 000 people on the Paraguay River system in Paraguay, Argentina, and southern Brazil. These floods were driven by repeated heavy rainfall events ...

Abstract: Characterization studies conducted on Class-F fly-ash specimens gathered from different producers in the southeastern United States confirm general trends reported for fly ash worldwide. Additional tests and detailed ...
