... to dynamic loading. Samples were prepared with different scenarios, including one layered-CPB sample (discontinuous filling), in which each layer was cured for a different duration, and two unlayered-CPB samples (continuous filling), one of which was cured for 2.5 h and the other for 4.0 h. All samples were...

...Yuxiao Li, BE; David Airey, PhD; Mark Jaksa, PhD Rolling dynamic compaction (RDC) is a ground improvement technique that involves towing a non-circular module forward with a tractor. It is widely used in the construction industry due to its high mobility and relatively small size. However...

In this study, a series of analyses...

...Cihan Cengiz, PhD; Erol Guler, PhD Ordinary stone columns and geosynthetic-encased columns are widely used as a method of soil improvement for soft clay deposits. The behaviour of encased and unencased columns under the action of dynamic loads are not thoroughly understood. In order to shed light...

...Evelyn Heins; Britta Bienen; Mark F. Randolph; Juergen Grabe Static load tests (SLTs) are rarely performed on offshore piles, instead relying on dynamic load tests (DLTs). Evaluation techniques for DLTs were developed originally for solid piles, and caution is needed in applying the techniques...

...) was used during the saturation of models. This was necessary to overcome the inconsistency between the scaling laws of dynamic and seepage time (Schofield, 1981). The degree of saturation of models was determined based on the conventional mass and volume method, and the computed degrees of saturation...

However, it is currently unclear how the image acquisition rate and the choice of DIC algorithm influence the quality of this data. This paper describes the sources of error that affect the dynamic...
