In this study, 31 empirical equations are summarized that relate unconfined compressive strength and internal friction angle of sedimentary rocks (sandstone, shale, and limestone and dolomite) to physical properties (such as velocity, modulus, and porosity).
With this goal in mind, a numerical CFD analysis was carried out to characterize the flow field in the rooftop area of buildings with different shapes and geometrical proportions: the flow velocity modulus and direction were calculated for different oncoming wind profiles and the results were projected into a net available wind distribution in the rooftop of each building.
The effectiveness of the new inorganic consolidant was evaluated in terms of absorbed consolidant amount, mechanical properties (e.g., surface hardness, ultrasonic wave velocity, elasticity modulus and compressive strength modulus), and salt crystallization resistance.
Using shear velocity, shear modulus of peat were estimated for Parit Sulong are ranged between 1575 kPa – 3514 kPa and Pontian are ranged between 385 kPa – 5117 kPa.
Parameters explored here include P-wave velocity, static modulus of deformation, support pressure, tunnel deformation, Lugeon-value, and the possible cohesive and frictional strength of rock masses, undisturbed, or as affected by underground excavation.
The engineering parameters of CLSM, such as slump flow, setting time, ball-drop value, compressive strength, pulse velocity, and modulus of reaction subgrade were determined in according with ASTM procedures.
Furthermore, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, elasticity modulus of SCCs were measured at hardened state at 7, 28 and 90 days.
Mechanical properties were assessed with conventional destructive test and with nondestructive tests (ultrasonic pulse velocity, dynamic modulus of elasticity and nonlinear acoustics).
This paper investigates the reinforcement efficiency of mortars produced with different types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in terms of their mechanical strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, elastic modulus, fracture toughness, shrinkage and microstructure.
Small-strain stiffness properties of unsaturated soils, particularly shear-wave velocity, shear modulus, and material damping, play a fundamental role in the analysis and design of geotechnical infrastructure resting on unsaturated ground, or made of compacted unsaturated soils, as they are subjected to static or dynamic loading.
Usually, it needs to define a maximum velocity for each modulus of velocity vector, which is often set as the upper limit of each modulus of position vector.
