...Sadek Jabarin; Shay Nachum; Mark Talesnick The capability of direct in-soil measurement of shear stress and shear strain has been applied to 1 g tilt table laminar box tests. The aim of the study is to evaluate the stiffness response of the material tested under low to ultra-low vertical stresses...

...Jasmina Toromanovic, PhD; Jan Laue, PhD; Peter Viklander, PhD; Hans Mattsson, PhD; Sven Knutsson, PhD Strains at the bottom of a large-scale experimental embankment dam were measured by fibre optics. The strains were measured in four sections, orthogonal to the dam axis. The fibre optic set up...

...Geoffrey N. Eichhorn, PhD, PEng; Stuart K. Haigh, PhD Optical strain sensing for structural health monitoring is sometimes deployed for field and laboratory study of civil structures. Rayleigh backscatter devices (ROFDR) are presented for use with geotechnical centrifuge research since they offer...
