19 Sep 2001: Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering - Division D. Welcome. Division D is one of six sectors into which the inter-disciplinary, "general" Engineering Department of Cambridge University is divided for administrative purposes. It contains

6 Jun 2001: The Lower San Fernando Dam suffered failure by lateral spreading in 1971. The Showa Bridge's pile foundations moved due to lateral spreading. Soil piling up around a bridge pier in Taiwan. Flow around a centrifuge model pile.

26 Jun 2001: The 10 metre beam centrifuge. A centrifuge package on its swing. An instrumented foundation. A flexible earthquake model container.

17 Apr 2001: The crack-equilibrium model uses an incremental solution procedure. During solution, checks are made to predict the formation of new cracks, and simple failure criteria are applied to each of the

17 Apr 2001: In the new arrangement, the Slimdek system replaces the composite deck-slab used in stub-girder assemblies. ... The new system is aimed at achieving clear spans in the 15-19 m range and a totally unpropped construction sequence.

26 Jun 2001: A new error criterion was developed based on one of the superconvergent patch recovery methods, and pore pressures were incorporated as well. ... Alternatively, an unstructured mesh generator using a modified form of the Delaunay triangulation algorithm

26 Jun 2001: Taking the production of new surface area from the particle size distributions produced by the numerical model, a work equation is used to deduce the plastic compression of voids, for

17 Dec 2001: Geotechnical Engineering Group. Abstract. A new technique has been developed for monitoring contaminant transport in-situ under controlled conditions, which produces an approximately real time continuous output.The fibre-optic photometric

26 Jun 2001: Observed collapse mechanisms in the centrifuge models led to the development of new and improved upper bound solutions.

26 Jun 2001: As dielectric soil characterisation is a very new area, there are few sensors available for practical applications.
