Use of elastic stability analysis to explain the stress-dependent nature of soil strength [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The peak and critical state strengths of sands are linearly related to the stress level, just as the frictional resistance to sliding along an interface is related to the normal force. The analogy with frictional sliding has led to the use of a ‘friction

Lateral Resistance Requirement of Girder-Sleeper Fastener for CWR Track on an Open-Deck Steel Plate Girder Bridge

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
For an open-deck steel plate girder railway bridge with rail joints, frequent damage to the bridge members and a high level of noise and vibration occur.

Effects of fastener type, end distance, layer arrangement, and panel strength direction on lateral resistance of single shear lap joints in cross-laminated timber (CLT)

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
This research investigated the effects of the fastener type, end distance, layer arrangement, and panel strength direction on the lateral resistance of nailed and screwed single shear lap joints in CLT panels. Three-ply CLT panels were made out of poplar

'Calving laws', 'sliding laws' and the stability of tidewater glaciers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A new calving criterion is introduced, which predicts calving where the depth of surface crevasses equals ice height above sea level. Crevasse depth is calculated from strain rates, and terminus position and calving rate are therefore functions of ice ...

Facilitatory actions of guanidine on synaptic transmission in mammalian brain slices [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Guanidine administration may be beneficial in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related diseases; however, the actions of guanidine on the mammalian central nervous system have not been investigated.

Contact resistance at graphene/MoS2 lateral heterostructures [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Letters, 2019
The contact resistance at two-dimensional graphene/MoS2 lateral heterojunctions is theoretically studied, using first-principles simulations based on density functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green's function method. The computed contact resistance lies in the range of 102 to 104 Ω μm, depending on the contact edge symmetry (armchair or zigzag ...

Sleeper end resistance of ballasted railway tracks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper describes model tests used to investigate how ballast shoulder width and height contribute to a railway sleeper’s resistance to lateral movement for a range of shoulder widths and heights.

Seismic Performance of Precast Concrete Columns with Improved U-type Reinforcement Ferrule Connections

open access: yesInternational Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2019
This paper proposes a new kind of U-type reinforcement ferrule (URF) connection for the assembly of precast concrete (PC) components, which has a good fault-tolerance ability and low cost of construction with a simple post-grouting process.
