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

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.

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

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

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

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