Digital image correlation (DIC) is an image-processing technique that calculates fields of
incremental displacement by comparing two digital images and locating numerous small …

Triaxial test is approved to be the most suitable method for studying the mechanical
properties of rocks and soils in lab. Through conventional triaxial tests, parameters like the …

Transparent soils have evolved in the past two decades as a useful tool for the physical
modeling of soil-structure interaction mechanisms, saturated-unsaturated hydraulic …

This paper describes a new apparatus and techniques for performing deformation
measurements using particle image velocimetry in the centrifuge environment. The new …

The pressure distribution below geocell reinforced foundation beds depends on several
factors like height of geocell, weld distance (pocket size), infill material, etc. This paper …

Retaining structures are often restrained in the case of cantilever in situ embedded walls,
anchor, strutted, and bridge abutments and thus are subjected to rotation. The earth …

This paper presents an experimental investigation of internal deformation in transparent
sand caused by a pile moving under oblique pullout loads using the digital image …

This paper presents a synthetic smectite clay comparable in structure to the natural clay
mineral hectorite that can be used in physical geotechnical models as a transparent soft clay …

Helical screw piles are a popular solution for relatively low-capacity, removable or
recyclable foundations supporting road and rail signage or similar light structures. When …

In situ undrained shear strength measurement devices such as the vane shear test, cone
penetrometer, and full-flow penetrometers (eg, T-bar and ball) have been increasingly used …
