8 Dec 2003: Fig. 9. Results of oedometer tests on the uniformly-gradedand well-graded soils. ... 1995)15. BS 1377, Methods of test for soils for civil engineering pur-.

12 Nov 2003: These systems can host test structures ofalmost unlimited size even when motion exists. ... disadvantage.However, the range of possible dimensions of test articles is almost unlimited.

7 Nov 2003: Modal tests are carried out on the mast to establish the variation of modal parameters with prestress levels, input force amplitudes, and gravity orientation. ... The dynamic model is validated against the experimental observations from the modal tests.

13 Nov 2003: Tests on the length and shape accuracy of the mast have also been performed and recorded. ... Collectively, these tests showed some important characteristics of the proposed mast.

10 Nov 2003: A series of tests on reinforced concrete continuous deep beams was performed to aid in the development of such models. ... Present codes of practice (ACI 318-89 and CIRIA Guide 2) for continuous deep beams showed little agreement when compared to test

15 Oct 2003: Its originality lies in two. main points: firstly, we use original test conditions. ... a few tests (e.g. test no1 for dry sugar at ε̇a = 0.16 %/sec).

12 Dec 2003: Analyses of the deployment moment, buckling moment and. stiffness are made and then compared to experimental tests. ... measured from experimental tests. A review of damping methods used in deployable structures and their applicability to structures with

10 Nov 2003: A series of full-scale tests has been carried out on three double-layer square-on-square space trusses including two non-composite and one composite truss. ... A series of tests was also carried out on CSF nodes and splices in order to develop a

28 Feb 2003: To test the manufacturing and deployment procedures,four demonstrator masts were built at various stages inthe development process.

13 Nov 2003: In order to illustrate the accuracy of the present model, a series of compression tests on concrete specimens with either single spiral or interlocking spirals were carried out, and good consistency

10 Nov 2003: Expansive cement anchorage system was used to grip the tendons. Using this anchorage system, a tensile test was carried out to determine the efficiency of the system and thus set a

10 Nov 2003: behaviour. Quasi-static and dynamic tests show significant non-linear coupling between piezoelectricity and the applied stress.

10 Nov 2003: The theoretical predictions are validated against the results of laboratory tests on reinforced concrete slab models, with limited lateral restraint stiffnesses, subjected to uniform or simulated uniform transverse loading.

10 Nov 2003: Tension, bending and torsion tests were performed to obtain the stress-strain and moment-curvature relationships which show almost linear behaviour of the material for large strains except for a small

10 Nov 2003: Predictions of the tensile strengths of parallel-lay ropes were obtained by putting this yarn data into the model and the results compared with rope tests.

10 Nov 2003: Using the Kevlar 49-on-aluminium abrasion tests performed here, a general formula has been devised for lifetime, in terms of contact pressure, amplitude of slip and thickness to be abraded.

10 Nov 2003: routine against test results.

10 Nov 2003: Deployment tests are carried out on a 2.3 m cable-driven retractable Rigid-Panel Solar Array.

10 Nov 2003: number of expensive physical model tests that are currently required.

5 Nov 2003: The failure mode observed in the tests was similar to those observed in the field in laterally spreading soil. ... Keywords: Pile failure, Buckling instability, Liquefaction, Case histories, Centrifuge tests, Slenderness ratio, Lateral spreading.
