Abstract: In high-pressure turbines, a small amount of cold flow is ejected at the hub from the cavity that exists between the stator and the rotor disk. This prevents the ingestion of hot gases into ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the significance of basal reinforcement and the presence of the surface sand layer in the stability. This evaluation is carried out by means of field measurements and stability analyses of three test ...

Abstract: A 5.35 m high test embankment was constructed on a soft foundation improved by geotextile-encased granular columns (GECs). The embankment construction was performed in four stages over 65 days, resulting in a total applied ...

Abstract: The paper reports laboratory investigations carried out on a tropical soil profile to study its compressibility, strength, critical state and limit state conditions, and their variation with depth. The soil profile comprises ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from physical model testing of lateral clay-pipe interaction. The main reason for this research was the accident in Rio de Janeiro in January 2000 when more than

Abstract: Penetration resistance in fine-grained soils varies with the rate of penetration. Considering undrained behavior as a reference, as the rate of penetration is reduced, soil resistance increases because of the effects of ...

Abstract: This article presents mass stabilization studies performed on very soft organic clay, with very high water content, very low pH value, and high clay activity, treated with high early strength dry portland cement. The ...
