  • Evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway structure

    Creator:
    Lavansiri, Direk
    Abstract:
    An evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway structure is made. The study includes a parametric analy sis using layered elastic theory and a series of large scale model tests. The parametric. study analyzes the stresses and strains of roadway structures with a fabric layer between tna surface layer and...

  • Local scour at isolated obstacles on river beds

    Creator:
    Huang, Cheng-Chang
    Abstract:
    Maximum equilibrium scour depths, equilibrium scour volumes, and induced equilibrium movements at isolated obstacles on river beds were investigated in clear-water scour. The research was achieved by a systematic flume study based on the results of dimensional analysis of local scour. The main tested obstacles for local scour were cubes....

  • Finite element analysis of wave interference effects between large structures

    Creator:
    Huang, Min-chih
    Abstract:
    A numerical calculation procedure for the hydrodynamic interference effects between large multiple structures interacting with linear ocean waves is presented in this study. Viscous effects are neglected and the hydrodynamic pressure forces are assumed to be inertially dominated. A finite element method which incorporates radiation boundary dampers is adopted to...
