Technical Articles
A New Method to Measure Lateral Strain in Uniaxial and Triaxial Compression Tests
A method is presented.
The Role of Near-Bed Turbulence in the Inception of Particle Motion
In this study, the characteristics of near-bed turbulence were experimentally investigated for three distinct roughness regimes, namely the isolated, wake interference, and skimming. Incipient flow conditions prevailed throughout the experiments.
Borehole Radar Topography using Saline Tracer Injections to Image Fluid Flow in Fractured Rock
A USGS research report by J. W. Lane, et al.
Continuous Failure State Direct Shear Tests
The paper deals with a new testing procedure aimed at determining the failure envelopes for peak and residual strength in direct shear tests.
Design and Analysis of Tracer Tests to Determine Effective Porosity and Dispersivity in Fractured Sedimentary Rocks, Newark Basin, NJ
A research paper of Drexel University.
Hard Core/Soft Shell Microstructural Model for Studying Percolation and Transport in Three-Dimensional Composite Media
A research report (PDF format file) by Building and Fire Research Laboratory, NIST.
International Collaboration: Establishing a Porous Media Observational Facility at the University of Kassel
A documentation of work progress to date.
Numerical Simulation of the Transition in Three-Dimensional Rotating Flows with Walls: Boundary Layers Instability
The purpose of this article is the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the complex phenomena that precede the transition to turbulence inside a cavity subjected to rotation.
Modeling Techniques in Geomechanics
A TRB Millennium paper (PDF format file).
On the Importance of Normal Vibrations in Modeling of Stick-Slip in Rock Sliding
A full text pre-publication version paper.
Rock Mechanics: Can the Tuff Take the Stress?
High school teachers and college students have had the rare opportunity to contribute to the field of geomechanics and to the study of how rocks fracture.
Shear Strength Testing and Fractal Analysis of Rock Discontinuities
A master thesis by Matthew Byron Haston. The University of Tennessee.
Soil-Structure Interaction of Buries Structures
A TRB Millennium paper (PDF format file) written by Thomas C. Sandford.
Soils and Rocks Instrumentation
A TRB Millennium paper (PDF format file) written by Dawit Negussey, et al.
Strain-dependent Fluid Flow Defined Through Rock Mass Classification Schemes
Online paper from Journal "Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering".
The Australian Construction Industry - The Snowy Legacy
The object of this paper to describe how, over its 25 year life, the Snowy Scheme brought about a lasting and positive transformation of Australia's construction industry and how under Sir William Hudson the scheme exemplified "world's best practice" and
The Concept of "Continuous Failure State" Triaxial Tests
In a "continuous failure state" triaxial test the specimen is maintained in the state of failure while subjected to steady changes of its state of stress.
Variation in Uplift Pressures With Changes in Loading Along a Single Rock Joint Below a Gravity Dam
