... tropical weatheringis a featureof the sedimentary rockswhich underlie the southern part of Singapore City. The information given in the Paper on the physical properties of the rock is typical in that it shows the wide variation in strength and compressibility with no trend to any appreciable increase...

... blocks of eight flats. The compressibility and consolidation characteristics of the peat deposit were determined from a series of single increment vertical consolidation tests on 250 mm dia. by 80 mm thick undisturbed samples, the increments being maintained for up to 18 months to define the long-term...

... and the fluid aspects of the system. Results show that, depending on theoverall stiffnessof the dam, itcsoupled natural frequencies,mode shapesand response are influenced by hydrodynamic and foundation interaction. Also, the effect of water compressibility is found to be small so that it may be neglected...

The effect of compressibility of water is that pressure waves in the reservoir generated by acceleration of the dam or the valley can, in theory, tend to very large values if the excitation frequency approaches the resonant frequency...
