The purpose of this study was to measure internal longitudinal displacements taking place
during tunnel excavation and compare them to the displacements predicted using available …

Efforts to obtain non-intrusive measurement of deformations and spatial flow within soil mass
prior to the advent of transparent soils have perceptible limitations. The transparent soil is a …

The effect of torpedo shape on its penetration depth and pull out capacity is explored using
laboratory-scale experiments. The study offers a number of useful practical implications for …

The effect of shape on the penetration of low-speed penetrators, traveling under 10 m/s,
such as dynamically installed anchors, gravity-fall penetrometers, projectiles, and …

An experimental methodology was developed involving techniques that allow non-intrusive
measurement of confined geogrid deformations and soil particle displacements under …

Torpedo anchors are increasingly popular for tethering of offshore structures. Using fins
improves their directional stability during penetration, however, fins' shape affects both …

Visualization of soil structure interaction during projectile penetration of clay is made
possible by use of a surrogate composed of magnesium lithium phyllosilicate combined with …

Gas hydrate dissociation may pose serious geohazards. The response of the seafloor to
hydrate dissociation is important for geohazards, marine environments and global climate …

The impact of gas hydrate dissociation on submarine landslides has become an
increasingly significant issue. However, previous models cannot interpret the newly …

The T-bar penetrometer is currently used to characterise seabed sediments, mostly based
on the full-flow mechanism around the probe in soft clays. However, open and trapped …
