A Discrete Particle Scheme (DPS) consisting of interacting circular particles is
utilised to examine the Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique.
Synthetic earth models of various complexity are generated ...
Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering
works in silty soils based on a detailed characterisation of a glaciomarine silt from Os in western Norway. It was found that these soils are ...
Geotechnical characteristics of Dublin Boulder Clay (DBC) based on detailed site
investigation and site experience from some recent large projects in Dublin are presented.
This paper attempts to synthesise available ...
In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
It is well accepted that the quality of soft clay samples obtained using standard
fixed piston samplers can be relatively poor and that block samples are necessary to
yield very high quality samples. However for many ...
Reduced-scale masonry testing offers advantages of lower costs and shorter schedules compared to full-scale testing, but achieving results reflective of full-scale behavior requires development and fulfilment of appropriate ...
