Foam used during EPB tunnelling in saturated sand, parameters determining foam consumption [PDF]
The amount of foam injected during drilling with an EPB-shield in saturated sand is quite often based on experience and/or empiric relations. A method is presented in to calculate the amount of foam needed to create a muck with limited or no grain stress.

Preconditioning and triggering of offshore slope failures and turbidity currents revealed by most detailed monitoring yet at a fjord-head delta [PDF]
Rivers and turbidity currents are the two most important sediment transport processes by volume on Earth. Various hypotheses have been proposed for triggering of turbidity currents offshore from river mouths, including direct plunging of river discharge,

Behavior of Nonplastic Silty Soils under Cyclic Loading
The engineering behavior of nonplastic silts is more difficult to characterize than is the behavior of clay or sand. Especially, behavior of silty soils is important in view of the seismicity of several regions of alluvial deposits in the world, such as ...

Criteria for rapid sliding I.: a review of Vaiont case [PDF]
Vaiont slide has been represented by a model of two interacting evolutive wedges. Mass conservation during the motion implies that the upper wedge transfers mass to the lower one through an internal shearing plane.

Ion-exchange hollow fibers [PDF]
An ion-exchange hollow fiber is prepared by introducing into the wall of the fiber polymerizable liquid monomers, and polymerizing the monomers therein to form solid, insoluble, crosslinked, ion-exchange resin particles which embed in the wall of the ...

Imaging spontaneous imbibition in full Darcy‐scale samples at pore‐scale resolution by fast X‐ray tomography [PDF]
Spontaneous imbibition is a process occurring in a porous medium which describes wetting phase replacing nonwetting phase spontaneously due to capillary forces.

Initial Distribution of Average Excess Pore Water Pressure Due to a Trapezoidal Load
A numerical integration procedure is used to evaluate the equations which give the initial distribution of excess pore water pressure in a subsoil due to a trapezoidal surface load, such as a highway embankment, and a series of curves are provided for a broad range of geometrical variations.
