Preliminary deployment and evaluation of geophone sensors for monitoring wave activity: GeoMoteShield

Creator:

Lathrop, Eve

Abstract:

This study focuses specifically on the investigation of a new, inexpensive geophone system and its application to monitor wave activity. Studies of seismic observations of coastal cliffs suggest that ground motions generated from local ocean waves may provide a surrogate to limited wave buoy data to quantify the wave contact...

Numerical investigation of aggregate trench-reinforced clay ground improvement to increase bearing capacity of continuous strip foundations

Creator:

Walter, Jakob R.

Abstract:

Compacted aggregate trenches are a method of soil improvement that could be substituted for commonly used aggregate piers in certain geometrical arrangements of shallow foundations. However, this type of ground improvement has little research to support the understanding of their contribution to improved strength of an unimproved clay soil. This...
