Numerical modeling of the annular failure pressure during HDD in noncohesive soils by Rostami, A., Kang, C., Yi, Yaolin, Bayat, A.

“…In this study, numerical modeling using ABAQUS software (version 6.13) was employed to estimate the failure pressure in several case studies following the limit pressure solution. In the next step, a large-strain cavity expansion solution was used to estimate the failure pressure, which was then compared to the estimations based on numerical modeling following the limit pressure solution. …”

Unsaturated shear strength of a silty sand by Schnellmann, Reto, Rahardjo, Harianto, Schneider, Hans R.

“…The experimental data show that matric suction increases shear strength of the soil significantly following a highly non-linear relationship. An increase in net normal stress results in a higher shear strength and the shearing behavior changes gradually from a peak shear strength followed by a strain-softening behavior to a strain-hardening behavior. …”

Development of methods and diagnostic kits for rapid microbiological monitoring of ballast water quality by Tay, Joo Hwa, Tay, Stephen Tiong Lee, Volodymyr, Ivanov

“…The aim of the research project was to develop, to study and to optimize the methods and diagnostic kits suitable for rapid microbiological monitoring of ballast water quality by unskilled operator. The following methods have been developed and tested for microbiological monitoring of ballast water: (a) Hybridization of whole-cell rRNA of microorganisms with fluorescent-labelled oligonucleotide probes measured by flow cytometer; this is a fast 4 hour duration method performed by skilled technician in specialized laboratory; (b) The counting of the particles in narrow range of size, from 1 to 4 um, which is specific size of bacterial cells; this is a fast 0.5 hour duration method performed by unskilled operator in simple laboratory using flow cytometer or portable particle counter; (c) Chromogenie test of ballast water pollution by conforms indicating faecal pollution and risk of water-borne diseases from ballast water discharge; this is a simple 24 hour duration method performed by unskilled operator on board the ship or in the office.…”
