An analytical closed-form solution has been developed for steady-state lateral response of concrete-face rockfill dams built in rectangular canyons. The canyon is assumed to be rigid, while the dam is idealized as a ...

The use of thin wall beam theory for the analysis of simply supported shells is described and the necessary modifications to the thin wall beam theory are shown which will make the solution as theoretically correct as the ...

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the variables which affect the stability of a stud-welded vibrating wire strain gage. The lack of previously published information and the nature of the instrument required ...

This study has developed a rheological model capable of accounting for all the significant characteristics exhibited by saturated clays in one-dimensional consolidation. The model has been developed on the basis of an ...

The stability of a soil mass against progressive failure, caused by the weight of the soil or superimposed loads may be predicted by comparing, at all points within the soil mass, the shearing, stresses caused by these ...

The problem considered here concerns the transfer of load from the slab to the exterior columns of flat plate floor slabs. At the exterior columns, the load is transferred through a combination of shear, bending moment, ...

Fatigue damage due to random stress histories is typically estimated by either Rainflow range counting (a time history approach), or by the Rayleigh approximation (a power spectral density approach). These methods are not ...

The USGS MOC Model is a useful tool for evaluating different well patterns in an aquifer restoration scheme under variable hydrogeologic conditions. The best well pattern for a groundwater cleanup is highly site-specific ...
