Fabric evolution during hydromechanical loading of a compacted silt

Damage evolution in compacted graphite iron during thermomechanical fatigue testing

Thermomechanical fatigue properties of a compacted graphite iron in an out of phase configuration are investigated for different maximum temperatures and mechanical strain ranges. Furthermore, the stress-strain hysteresis loops are analysed and in particular the unloading modulus, i.e. the elastic modulus measured during specimen unloading, is obtained from each cycle. This material parameter h...

Evaluation of the fabric formability by concentrated loading method

Characterization of fabric tensile loading curve in nonlinear region related to their structure; Part1: woven fabric

Fabric Evolution in Granular Materials Subject to Drained, Strain Controlled Cyclic Loading

While there have been many discrete element method (DEM) publications considering the micromechanics of granular materials subject to monotonic loading, studies of the particle-scale material response to cyclic or repeated loading have been comparatively rare. From a geotechnical perspective soil is subjected to repeated loading in a variety of situations. Examples include foundations to railwa...

Belted Strand Retention Fabric: an Alternative to Silt Fences for Erosion and Sediment Control

In this study SiltSaver belted strand retention fence was compared with traditional type C silt fence with the goal of determining if it would be acceptable for use as a sediment barrier in Georgia. ASTM standard methods were used to evaluate flow through and sediment removal efficiency using three different site specific soils. For flow without sediment, there were no statistical differences, ...
