Probabilistic assessment of cyclic soil straining in fine-grained soils

This paper presents a probabilistically-based semi-empirical model for the assessment of cyclically-induced shear and post-cyclic volumetric (reconsolidation) straining of saturated fine-grained soils. Consolidated-undrained, strain-controlled static, and stress-controlled cyclic triaxial tests have been performed on undisturbed silty and clayey samples for the purpose of compiling a database composed of induced maximum cyclic shear and post-cyclic volumetric strains along with Atterberg limits, natural moisture content, undrained static shear strength. The maximum likelihood methodology is used to develop limit-state models incorporating the selected descriptive variables for the estimation of cyclically-induced soil straining. Results are summarized in the form of a semi-empirical stochastic model which enables the estimation of cyclically-induced maximum shear and post-cyclic volumetric straining as a function of liquid limit, plasticity index, natural moisture content, undrained shear strength, cyclic shear stresses. © 2008 ASCE.

Measurement of W+W- production in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector and limits on anomalous WWZ and WW gamma couplings
Aad, G.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2013-06-03)
This paper presents a measurement of the W+W- production cross section in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV. The leptonic decay channels are analyzed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4: 6 fb(-1) collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The W+W- production cross section sigma(pp -> W+W- + X) is measured to be 51.9 +/- 2.0(stat) +/- 3.9(syst) +/- 2.0(lumi) pb, compatible with the Standard Model prediction of 44.7(-1.9)(+2.1) pb. A measurement of the normalized fiduc...
A possible radiative model for micronic carbonaceous particle sizing based on time-resolved laser-induced incandescence
Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Rosano, F; Beretta, F; D'Alessio, A (2002-03-01)
A numerical model of time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (TIRE-LII) for different kinds of large carbonaceous particle is developed in this paper. Theoretical temporal LII signals were computed for the following classes of particles: soot, the well known hollow particles called cenospheres (tens of microns) and full carbonaceous particles called by analogy pleospheres (a few microns), pleo- from the Greek pleos (solid). The large carbonaceous particles have a characteristic time for internal gradient ...
A parametric modeling study on distributed MEMS transmission lines
Unlu, M; Topalli, K; Demir, S; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Koc, S; Akın, Tayfun (2004-10-14)
This paper presents a parametric study of a new model for the distributed MEMS transmission line (DMTL) structures. In this new model, the MEMS bridges which are used as the loading elements of the DMTL structures are represented as low-impedance transmission lines, rather than a lumped CLR circuit. The model also includes LC networks at the transition points from the MEMS bridges to the unloaded parts of the DMTL which are simply high-impedance transmission lines. These LC networks are employed to model th...
Assessing the Effects of Mechanical Preventive Measures on Alkali-Silica Reaction Expansion with Accelerated Mortar Bar Test
Musaoglu, Orhan; TURANLI, LUTFULLAH; Sarıtaş, Afşin (ASTM International, 2014-11-01)
This paper presents a modification to the apparatus of the mortar bar test of ASTM C490 in order to assess and compare the influence of mechanical preventive measures in reducing alkali-silica reaction (ASR) expansion in concrete with respect to the traditional measures. For this purpose, reinforced mortar specimens with or without pre-stressing force applied were examined and the effects of the reinforcement ratio and pre-stressing force on ASR-induced expansion and cracking were studied through the accele...
An Energetic Type Model for the Cross shore Distribution of Total Longshore Sediment Transport Rate
Baykal, Cüneyt; Güler, Işıkhan (2012-07-06)
This paper presents an energetic-based simple approach for the computation of cross-shore distribution of total longshore sediment transport (LST) rates. The proposed approach (Baykal 2012) follows similar assumptions with the given formula of Bayram et al. (2007) for the total LST rate (Qlst,t) across the surf zone and is applied to investigate the relation between the rate of dissipation in wave energy flux due to wave breaking and total longshore sediment flux using the available laboratory measurements ...
