27 Oct 2008: In the experimental work, the performances of optical cables embedded in concrete beams are studied via uniaxial loading tests. ... Separate tests were conducted to study thermal behaviour of optical cables using thermal bath and during concrete curing.

9 Nov 2005: Completely decomposed granitie (CDG), a typical soil found in Hong Kong, was used for the centrifuge tests of loose fill slopes. ... In the centrifuge tests, shear localized progressive failure is visualized by means of an image analysis developed by CUED

31 Mar 2004: Accelerated ageing tests using elevated temperatures were therefore conducted up to 3 months, to investigate the various physicochemical characteristics of both un-aged and aged treated soils. ... In freeze-thaw durability tests some multiple-contaminant

2 Nov 2011: Mini ball-penetrometer tests on natural cores confirm the crustal strength, and indicate a sensitivity of 3 within the crust. ... However, pipeline interface tests using the Cam-shear device demonstrate a significant variability in the measured interface

26 Jan 2006: In this research, the horizontal arching mechanism and lateral deformations of cantilever walls are investigated using centrifuge tests. ... A series of six tests was carried out at 45g and the panel widths and thicknesses around the model basement were

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.

16 Apr 2002: Eight tests were carried out on laterally spreading slopes and a further five on slopes containing instrumented pile foundations. ... Using linearised pore pressures overestimated the measured slope displacements as dilation limits the movements measured

26 Jun 2001: Laboratory tests were conducted on clay contaminated with inorganic pore water solutions. ... Permeability, rheology and capillary suction time tests were conducted to observe the change in physical and chemical properties of the clay with changes in

26 Jun 2001: Since then design theories have been developed alongside an increasing database of full scale, small scale and centrifuge model tests. ... Keywords: geosynthetic, reinforcement, tension, reinforced soil wall, centrifuge model test, strip load cell,

11 Dec 2002: During loading, tests conducted at different rates showed no influence on the strain developed. ... In unloading, the slower rate tests produced greater shear strains once the condition became extensive.

25 Aug 2006: This thesis describes dynamic centrifuge tests undertaken to try and increase understanding of three such remediation methods: containment walls, cemented zones and inclined, non-loadbearing micro-piles. ... Centrifuge tests with a simple SDOF frame

29 Nov 2007: Pseudo-static BNWF models have been developed which can determine the complete post-buckling response of the system and have been fully validated against centrifuge test data. ... The BNWF analyses and empirical settlement equations were combined to map

17 Dec 2008: 2-chlorobenzoic acid). The short and long-term effectiveness of the S/S treatment was examined through results of batch leaching test, chemical, mechanical and microstructural properties. ... The experimental techniques employed to assess the long-term

13 May 2011: Extensive data was generated in a series of laboratory tests in order to develop process envelopes for S/S treatment of contaminated soils using a real site soil contaminated with a ... monolithic leaching, contaminant extraction and dehydrogenase

19 Feb 2008: K. and Pellegrino, S. (1991). The Pantographic Deployable Mast: design, structural performance and deployment tests.

12 Oct 2004: shear stress. In many centrifuge tests, neither apply. Therefore shear stress is evaluated. ... curves/element test data, and is apparently better at smaller (< 0.05%) strains.

14 Dec 2009: Also, important differences were noted between the centrifuge test results and the Mononobe-Okabe analysis. ... Further tests are needed to ascertain the real seismic behaviour of embedded retaining walls.

2 Nov 2011: Permeability tests are performed on fissured London Clay, exploring the effect of isotropic stress cycles on the permeability of fissures.

19 Dec 2008: tests were successfully simulated.

11 Mar 2008: Small-strain stiffness and its dependency on mean stress level were successfully measured and compared well against data obtained from triaxial tests.
