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.
