Sentence examples for behaviour of the soil from inspiring English sources

This could induce strong modifications of the shear strength behaviour of the soil.

Conservative reliability indices are obtained when the joint behaviour of the soil shear strength follows a bivariate normal distribution.

The non-linear behaviour of the soil and the uplift mechanism of the foundation are reproduced using the plasticity theory.

The main objective of this investigation had been focused on the strength behaviour of the soil reinforced with randomly included sisal fibre.

The behaviour of the soil is determined when it is irradiated, and therefore the percentage of radiation that is absorbed, transmitted or reflected.

Owing to the stochastic character and visco-elastic behaviour of the soil, it is very difficult to create repeatable testing conditions.

All of these load-induced changes to a geotextile may affect the filtration behaviour of the soil-geotextile system.

The significance of kinematic stress resultants in piles, the foundation filtering effect and the rotational component of the input motion due to the coupled roto-translational behaviour of the soil-foundation system are also investigated; to this purpose kinematic interaction analyses are performed.

In the absence of detailed knowledge of the near-surface behaviour of the soil-derived flux decay, we assume that the soil profile is everywhere sufficiently thick (e.g. >50 60 cm) to account for the same attenuation of the flux at depth (i.e. the flux that would be observed from uniform bedrock alone).

Stress-controlled cyclic triaxial tests (CTX) were performed to study the behaviour of the soils under cyclic loading.

Coupling phenomena in non-saturated soils are fast becoming a headache for at least one of the following reasons: the large number of equations and unknowns, the complex T.H.M. behaviour of the soils, the sophisticated instrumentation required and/or the numerical instability encountered.
