... slurry was performed with a self-made device and digital image correlation (DIC) technology to study the crack evolution and quantitatively analyse the relationships between moisture content, displacement, strain and cracks. The results showed that cracks were usually initiated by subdividing...

.... During the thermal stages, when the pile had the flexibility to expand or contract, the observed strain at the pile head significantly deviated from the free thermal strain. In contrast, the strain at the pile toe was relatively aligned with the free thermal strain. The thermally induced stress obtained...

...Benoît David Jones, EurIng, MEng, EngD,; Charly Grand, MSc This paper describes the installation and interpretation of strain gauges embedded in the sprayed concrete lining of the concourse tunnel at Heathrow Terminal 4 station, with readings taken over nearly 20 years.

... degradation of Yellow River silt (YRS) under long-term cyclic loads. To this end, a series of undrained cyclic triaxial tests on YRS for a large number of cycles (10 000) was carried out using a triaxial apparatus and the effects of confining pressure and cyclic stress ratio on the resilient strain of the YRS...

... with cyclic mean effective stress. In this work, triaxial drained tests were conducted on saturated sand under a low rate of strain to investigate the strain response along such stress paths, considering the influence of loading amplitude. The test results demonstrated that the volumetric strain...

... behaviour of the ground has been carefully monitored. The major principal strain increments in the ground around these critical excavations, using a very light support, were about 0´2% or smaller. The stiffness for a strain range from about 0´0001% to about 1´0% was evaluated by triaxial compression (TC...
