Data-driven 1D design model for monotonic lateral loading of monopile foundations [PDF]
MethodsXMonopiles are a widely-used foundation system for offshore wind turbine support structures. In current practice, design calculations typically employ one-dimensional (1D) models in which the monopile is represented as an embedded beam.

Geotechnics, 2023 Glacial deposits are of significant importance to geotechnical engineers and geologists in northern Europe, North America, and Northern Asia, as vast areas of these land surfaces were historically covered with ice leading to the formation of a wide ...

Mechanical Properties of Frozen Glacial Tills due to Short Periods of Thawing
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Due to the warming climate, glacier retreat has left massive glacial tills in steep gullies; ice in the soil is prone to change phase resulting in the decrease of the ice strength and bonding of soil particles; collapse of thawing tills can lead to ...

Quaternary Science Advances, 2021 Early and early Middle Pleistocene glaciations in midcontinental USA are poorly understood relative to more recent Illinoian and Wisconsinan glaciations, largely because pre-Illinoian glacial landforms and deposits are eroded and buried.

GHOSTly flute music: drumlins, moats and the bed of Thwaites Glacier
Annals of Glaciology, 2022 Glacier-bed characteristics that are poorly known and modeled are important in projected sea-level rise from ice-sheet changes under strong warming, especially in the Thwaites Glacier drainage of West Antarctica.

Glacial Ripping in Sedimentary Rocks: Loch Eriboll, NW Scotland
Geosciences, 2021 Glacial ripping is a newly recognized process sequence in which subglacial erosion is triggered by groundwater overpressure. Investigations in gneiss terrain in lowland Sweden indicate that ripping involves three stages of (i) hydraulic jacking, (ii ...

Lithostratigraphy of Late Weichselian tills on the West Estonian Islands [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1998 Glacial stratigraphy of the West Estonian Islands comprises three different diamicton units which are correlated event-stratigraphically to the Pandivere and Palivere ice advances of the most recent (Late Weichselian) glaciation and included into the ...

Polish Polar Research, 2016 Textural properties and microstructures are commonly used properties in the analysis of Pleistocene and older glacial deposits. However, contemporary glacial deposits are seldom studied, particularly in the context of post-depositional changes.
