Scientists at the UC Davis Center for Geotechnical Modeling have compiled the most detailed experimental data yet seen on how liquefaction-induced downdrag can add to the structural load applied to a ...

In a ground-breaking first, researchers have carried out hyper-gravity experiment of solute transport in 3D printed fracture network model with geotechnical centrifuge under hyper-gravity ...

Geotechnical engineering, geotechnical centrifuge modeling, frozen soil behavior, computer modeling of particulate materials, soil-structure interaction and integral abutment bridge design. Predictive ...

Pilings based on snakeskin are easier to drive into soil and more difficult to pull out, according to lab tests at the UC Davis Center for Geotechnical Modeling. These pilings could one day support ...

This study not only validated the stability of contaminant transport in 3D printed fracture model under high hyper-gravity, but verified the feasibility of using geotechnical centrifuge modeling ...

The Material Point Method (MPM) stands out as particularly effective for numerical modeling of large deformations, but is limited in terms of resolution and scale due to computational costs. In this ...

Two rigs operating at Mercur since July have completed approximately 3,200 meters of a planned 13,000-meter drilling program ...
