Sentence examples for cohesionless material from inspiring English sources

This paper presents the design and results of an experimental setup used to investigate the flow mechanisms of cohesionless material when drawing from a single drawpoint under confinement.

However, even for a cutter of aperture twice the particle top size (which would be highly biased for a cohesionless material) no bias was detectable.

The present investigation also examines the fundamental interface mechanism and attempts to define the associated rupture zones in cohesionless material with the aid of thin vertical bands of coloured sand cast in a large distinctly fabricated pullout box.

An analytical solution of the PS stability problem in cohesionless material shows that in this case the critical conditions are realized when the vertical PS force acts opposite to the direction of gravity.

In this study, the results of 1-g shaking table tests performed on small-scale flexible cantilever wall models retaining composite backfill made of a deformable geofoam inclusion and granular cohesionless material were presented.

The arc-shaped nose has been pounded into a 150-mm-diameter and 500-mm-deep barrel containing dry sand which represents a cohesionless material.

A continuum model based on the critical state theory of soil mechanics is used to generate stress and density profiles, and to compute discharge velocities for the plane flow of cohesionless materials.

Figure 10 shows the hydrological trends and failure mechanisms of dams built with homogeneous and isotropic cohesionless materials.

The failure mechanisms of dams composed of homogeneous and isotropic cohesionless materials were assessed with four different soils (Table 3).

These experiments demonstrate that seepage mechanisms in landslide dams comprised of unsaturated homogeneous and isotropic cohesionless materials are influenced by the hydraulic properties of the materials, as well as the geometrical characteristics of the dams.

The general deformation behaviour of the dams composed of heterogeneous and anisotropic cohesionless materials was characterized by the formation of cracks (longitudinal and transverse) aligned perpendicular and parallel to the dam axis.
