Influence of Cracks on the Lifetime of Semi-Rigid Pavements

Kazimierowicz-Frankowska, Krystyna

2016 Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

doi:10.1515/heem-2016-0006

AbstractThis paper focuses on a better understanding of the process of reflective cracking propagation through the pavement structure. A series of finite element numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the initial stress and strain states in typical semi-rigid pavements with and...

The Effect of the Vertical Acceleration on Stability Assessment of Seismically Loaded Earth Dams

Korzec, Aleksandra

2016 Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

doi:10.1515/heem-2016-0007

AbstractIn the assessment of slope stability, the vertical component of acceleration is commonly neglected. However, signal analyses performed on a large number of acceleration time histories have revealed that the vertical peak ground acceleration can be as high as the horizontal one. In this...

Simplified Probabilistic Analysis of Settlement of Cyclically Loaded Soil Stratum by Point Estimate Method

Przewłócki, Jarosław; Górski, Jarosław; Świdziński, Waldemar

2016 Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

doi:10.1515/heem-2016-0008

AbstractThe paper deals with the probabilistic analysis of the settlement of a non-cohesive soil layer subjected to cyclic loading. Originally, the settlement assessment is based on a deterministic compaction model, which requires integration of a set of differential equations. However, with the...

Mechanical Properties of Granular Soils: Triaxial versus Plane Strain Investigations

Sawicki, Andrzej; Sławińska, Justyna; Mierczyński, Jacek; Smyczyński, Marcin

2016 Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

doi:10.1515/heem-2016-0009

AbstractThe paper compares the pre-failure behavior of granular soils investigated in the classical triaxial apparatus and in the true triaxial apparatus, under plane strain conditions. Both experiments are described within the framework of an incremental model of the pre-failure behavior of...

The Pull-out Capacity of Suction Caissons in Model Investigations

Sawicki, Andrzej; Wachowski, Łukasz; Kulczykowski, Marek

2016 Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

doi:10.1515/heem-2016-0010

AbstractA small-scale model experiment on the pull-out resistance of suction caissons is described. The pull-out force and suction developed within the caisson in the extraction process were recorded during the experiment. A simple breakout model, together with an elementary static formulae, is...

Rayleigh Waves Transformation in Liquefying Water-saturated Sands

Staroszczyk, Ryszard

2016 Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

doi:10.1515/heem-2016-0011

AbstractThe behaviour of a water-saturated sand deposit subjected to dynamic loads induced by the propagation of Rayleigh surface waves is analysed. Cyclic shearing of the saturated sand matrix due to ground motions results in the development of excess pore pressures in the soil and its...

Vibrations of a Horizontal Elastic Band Plate Submerged in Fluid of Constant Depth

Szmidt, Kazimierz; Hedzielski, Benedykt

2016 Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

doi:10.1515/heem-2016-0012

AbstractThe paper deals with free and forced vibrations of a horizontal thin elastic plate submerged in an infinite layer of fluid of constant depth. In free vibrations, the pressure load on the plate results from assumed displacements of the plate. In forced vibrations, the fluid pressure is...

Modelling of Post-flotation Tailings Liquefaction Induced by Paraseismic Events

Świdziński, Waldemar

2016 Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

doi:10.1515/heem-2016-0013

AbstractThis paper presents and discusses the results of numerical modelling of pore water pressure build-up in post-flotation saturated tailings deposited at the Tailings Storage Facility “Żelazny Most”, caused by seismic-induced dynamic loading. Numerical simulations were based on the...
