A framework for identification of geotechnical systems

Elmekati, Ahmed H. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12)

A micro-mechanical study of the response of unsaturated pendular state granular soils

Medina, Claudia L. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-05)

A micromechanical investigation of the effect of fabric and particle shape on the response of granular soils

Tsinginos, Chrysovalantis (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08)

Application of remote sensing techniques and in situ instrumentation for multi-scale assessment of levees

Nguyen, Dang Dinh Chung (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)

In situ instrumentation, including extensometers and global positioning systems (GPS), was also employed to measure the displacement of some locations in two levee sections, the London Avenue Canal levee and the V-line ...

Assessment of the health of levees using surface displacements

Mercado, Vicente (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-05)

Beginning to develop and assess engineering judgment through mixed reality game-based learning

Richtarek, Alyssa (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)

Geotechnical engineering requires successfully interpreting field conditions to design an appropriate solution, but how engineers accrue the judgment required to make appropriate decisions is a research area still in its ...

Centrifuge evaluation of offshore monopile systems

Hernandez Cabal, Maria Alejandra (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)

The offshore wind energy sector is rapidly growing around the world. The most common foundation used in this application is monopiles. Monopiles are hollow steel piles, with diameters ranging from 4 to 6 meters, that have ...

Centrifuge modeling of hybrid foundations for offshore wind turbines

Cherchia, Meryl (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-08)

Offshore wind farms are becoming common solutions for harnessing wind energy. The expenses for foundation installation are significant, often accounting for one third of the total erection costs. It is apparent that ...

Centrifuge modeling of levee weakening for use in surfacedeformation-based levee health assessment

Exton, Margaret Cavan (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12)

Centrifuge modeling of pile foundation response to liquefaction and lateral spreading : study of sand permeability and compressibility effects using scaled sand technique

Gonzalez, Marcelo Alejandro (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-12)

Centrifuge modeling of seismic liquefaction of clean ottawa sand under low and high confining pressures for field conditions

Ni, Min (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)

The current evaluation of liquefaction triggering is based on the liquefaction triggering charts, developed from Simplified Procedure. The most popular liquefaction triggering charts are based on field tests like Cone ...

Centrifuge modeling of the effects of natural hazards on pile-founded concrete floodwalls

Tessari, Anthony Frederick (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12)

Effective design and construction of levees is vital in protecting civilians and infrastructure that are situated in flood-prone regions around the world. In the United States, the city of New Orleans and the state of ...
