Vacuum box testing applied to T-joints and patches. Destructive peel and shear testing per ASTM D6392 on random samples. ...
While SCPT has been applied around the world for decades, recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the use of this soil investigation technique. Whether to provide input for the design of monopiles for offshore wind farms or the tracks for high-speed trains, or to assess the potential impact of seismic activity in areas where that kind of activity is a relatively new ...
Hayashi Trout Farm is one of the oldest aquaculture companies in Japan For their first project with Octafom, Hayashi built their tanks at their facility near Fukushima. ...
We’ve currently published a publication which comes back to a relationship between attenuation and velocity dispersion of body waves which replaces the measurement of the amplitude characteristics of seismic signals by a frequency dependent velocity function. The implementation of this method has previously shown to be difficult because of the very small levels of ...

Project Description Boldwing Continuum Architects Inc. has contracted Itasca Consulting Group to perform a liquefaction analysis and evaluate several soil improvement designs for the Langdale Ferry Terminal Project in Vancouver, Canada. The terminal sits on a deltaic granular deposit prone to liquefaction. The new expansion of the ferry terminal has to be designed in compliance with the 2017 ...
All nuclear power plants in France required attention to prevent an occurrence at the sites following any seismic activity. EDF Energy issued a tender for companies to submit their passive flood protection solutions for seismic testing, prior to possible selection in a future tender, to protect all 19 sites in France. ...
The system also needed to be water-tight when filled with 1.6 million gallons of stormwater while passing a mandatory 24-hour leak-test. To complete the test, groundwater was pumped into the tank, then measurements were taken two days later to document any water loss. ...
For this nuclear plant project, the list of demands was exceptionally high: - No fewer than 132 material and safety certificates were needed for each pump vs. a minimum of primary technical engine safety features; - Each pumping system had to be supplied with a storage rack, flow meters and other accessories, and be able to operate autonomously at maximum output for 24 hours; - For logistical ...
Video content showing how to perform tests is very helpful, and there has been a strong program to create those videos for selected ASTM standards and offer them with subscriptions. ...
Two interior connections, representing the first floor column and beam sizes, were tested under cyclic loading to evaluate the effects of energy dissipation and PT load and on the seismic behaviour. ...
A synthetic clay soil mixture was designed and fabricated to comply with similitude requirements set forth in a dynamic scale-model pile group foundation test. The prototype soil was a stiff, fissured, overconsolidated clay soil at the University of Houston Pile Test Facility. The dynamic response of the model soil was determined through testing ...
Knowledge of dynamic behavior of cemented soil is essential for seismic research and design. A laboratory testing program is conducted for determining the low-strain dynamic properties of artificially cemented soils. ...
