ABSTRACT In‐situ stress condition is an important aspect of buried unpressurized pipelines. Empirical approaches used for preliminary design are usually based on observations, which may be associated with some errors related to the measurement method. The photoelastic approach represents an alternative, nonintrusive measurement technique to model the ...

Groundwater Hydrodynamic Oscillations From Swash With Transparent Sand (GHOSTS)
Abstract Interactions between surface flows and groundwater in beaches can influence erosion and accretion, wave overtopping, groundwater levels and salinization, and transport of nutrients and pollutants. Laboratory experiments using transparent crushed quartz and optically matched mineral oil as proxies for sand and water allow the degree of ...

When analyzing the engineering characteristics of pile‐supported embankments in deep soft soil regions, the creep behavior of soft soils cannot be overlooked. In previous numerical analyses, empirical formulas were often used to determine related parameters, which limited the accuracy of the calculations.

Integration of geosynthetics in reclaiming an oil sands tailings pond [PDF]
Global mining operations produce significant amounts of soil waste referred to as tailings. In oil sands mining, a portion of the deposited tailings is extremely soft and is primarily in a fluid state with solid contents (by weight) ranging between 30 ...
