3 Feb 2010: Dynamic centrifuge tests have been conducted on small-scale tunnel models for this purpose. ... These deformations were measured using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique for the first time in a dynamic centrifuge test involving earthquakes.

27 Mar 2010: These bond tests also neglect the effects from the presence of steel bars. ... This is typical of the behaviour that is reported from conventional bond tests.

14 Dec 2010: Centrifuge modelling was mainly used for this research. Different pile installation methods were carried out in centrifuge tests. ... The earthquake tests reveal significant differences in the performance of pile groups compared with pseudo-static cyclic

22 Jun 2010: A model was constructed and tested in a 4 L column (cylindrical) reactor, using the MB test to characterise the reactor performance and operating conditions.

14 Oct 2010: Also, novel binders such as magnesia cement, zeolite cement and slag-magnesia blend were also studied to test their applicability in ground improvement.

26 Mar 2010: Tensile, SIM and SSM tests were conducted using the same experimental set-up (Fig. ... in deriving rupture times which by conventional creep tests would have required months or years.

26 Mar 2010: 5 COMPARISONS WITH TESTS: PLATE END DEBONDING 5.1 Plate end interface crack induced debonding. ... The analysis of other test data also shows similar results validating the present analysis [4].

26 Mar 2010: The exact σ -w relations of a given concrete can only be known from direct uniaxial tensile tests. ... 11] Bažant, Z.P., “Choice of Standard Fracture Test for Concrete and Its Statistical Evaluation”, International Journal of Fracture, 118, 2002,

26 Mar 2010: There have been many studies where researchers have conducted tests on confined concrete, to which curves have been fitted, but very little work that goes back to the fundamental properties of ... Space does not permit here the comparisons that have been

19 Mar 2010: To test for case-control differences between groups, distributions were firsttested for normality, and generally a Wilcoxon test wasused. ... To test forhip fracture case-control differences, repeated-measuresMANOVA was used with and without age

26 Mar 2010: A test plan of all creep tests carried out is given in Table 1. ... Some creep tests, for example test CCTK-70-01 (Fig. 6), had to be discarded, because slip events were observed.

22 Mar 2010: The decision to make the bridge continuous was a late amendment to the design, and apparently taken on economic grounds since it allowed the new cables to pass from one

26 Mar 2010: Tests had to be carried out at various temperatures levels and for that reason the test apparatus included a Thermo center oven (Fig. ... 160oC. Each test was repeated three times, giving a total of 72 tests.

27 Mar 2010: Therefore long-term creep of ropes is a subject of interest. However, few long-term creep tests have been performed in literature, as this kind of test is costly. ... temperature (the initial strain value is determined by performing tensile tests for
