Abstract: Difficulty in predicting the transfer of load from a structural element to the surrounding soil has limited the reliability of geotechnical design and performance. The remaining uncertainty in load transfer mechanics is ...

Abstract: Observations of a U.K. suspension bridge show that thermal expansion and contraction cycles do not follow simple linear relationships with a single temperature value and that time lag and temperature distribution can be ...

Abstract: Glauconite sand, a green-colored, iron–potassium micaceous peloid known for its high crushability, has been found at locations in Europe and the United States where offshore wind development is currently underway. Crushing ...

Abstract: A non-contact sensing system has been developed to measure the temperature response of a rapidly rotating roll under spray cooling encountered in metal rolling processes. A thin-film sensor with ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction of the load transfer response of a geosystem requires an understanding of the micromechanical, or local, behavior of individual particles at the soil–structure interface. The difficulty in predicting ...

Abstract: AbstractThe interface friction angle is a crucial design parameter for various foundations, including piles, suction buckets, anchors, gravity-based structures, pipelines, cables, and more. In the past decade, the exponential ...
