...Daniel Levacher; Ali Hussan; Sylvain Haquin; Gilles Friboulet This study presents a new laboratory apparatus for measuring and estimating the ability of shoveling, loading, and transport of fine soils and sediments. This device permits the investigation of the slump and sliding behavior of fine...

...Marzieh Shahraki; Anthony Tessari; Chandrakanth Bolisetti; Efe Kurt; Kyungtae Kim The interaction between a foundation and its supporting soil involves several different energy dissipation mechanisms. For example, sliding of a foundation element is a soil-structure interaction component that can...

...RCK Wong Large open shear box tests on granular materials have been conducted to investigate the behavior of these materials at high velocity. Several modes of kinetic motion were identified from the tests: steady sliding, sliding with rolling, impulsive rolling, and steady rolling. The measured...
