Slope Failure Remediation Design
… design project analyzes and remediates a slope failure that occurred in Bismarck, North Dakota. The failure emerged along River Road on the Eastern bank of the Missouri River less than a half mile north of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Bridge. The failure took place the week of …

Promenade Down the Slope
… the placing of a building into the context of a sloped site. The study manifests itself through the design of a farmer's market, restaurant and retail space on a site defined by a change on volumetric disposition, movement pattern and structural system.

Probability analysis of slope stability
… of geotechnical engineers to accurately model slope performance is compromised by a variety of factors. The net result of these considerations is that the exact behavior of slopes cannot be accurately predicted. Hence, geotechnical engineers resort to a factor of safety approach to reduce the …

Development of a reflective stereo slope gauge for the measurement of ocean surface wave slope statistics
… in this thesis. Based on the reflective stereo slope gauge (RSSG) principle, it can simultaneously measure wave slope and height statistics. The instrument comprises a stereo camera setup and two light sources built from infrared LEDs (940 nm). Slope statistics are derived from the statistical …

Fluid flow and slope stability model
… calculate the changes in factor of safety of a slope with time resulting from changes in the water saturation. A two-phase fluid flow model was incorporated to calculate the saturation and saturation changes in fractured and nonfractured soil and rock. A slope stability model was created to …

Slope Stability Of Laterite Soil Embankments
… Next, stability analyses are performed using SLOPE/W with shear strength parameters for total stress (short-term), effective stress (long-term), and fully saturated soil conditions. A probability analysis is conducted for the fully saturated conditions because of the variability in the input …

Soil Slope Failure Investigation Management Systems
Highway slopes are exposed to environmental and climatic conditions, such as deforestation, cycles of freezing and thawing weather, heavy storms etc. Over time these climatic conditions can influence slope stability in combination with other factors such as geological formations, slope angle and …

A comparison of slope estimation methods
The study evaluates widely used slope estimation algorithms with the aim of determining similarities or differences between results obtained by each, the accuracy of methods in modelling actual slope, and the suitability of these methods for site-specific and non-site specific applications. The …

When an eddy encounters shelf-slope topography
… must then interact with continental shelf-slope topography at the western boundary. The presence of other eddies and mean lows complicates this simple picture, yet satellite images show that mesoscale eddies translating near the shelfbreak routinely affect the continental shelves of the …

Macrobenthic ecology of the West Shetland Slope
… faunal distribution on the West Shetland Slope. Macrobenthic samples were collected by corer and grab along a depth transect in 1996 and 1998. The macrofauna studied were retained on 500 m and 250 m sieves enabling comparisons to be made between samples taken using these two sieve sizes. …

Seismic slope estimation: analyses in 2D/3D
Slope estimation is a critical step for many post-processing seismic image techniques. Accurate slope images allow for automatic interpretation techniques to effectively and efficiently follow seismic horizons, and identify structurally discontinuous features with little to no information from the …

Calculating Staircase Slope from a Single Image
… paper outlines a method for extracting the slope dimensions of a staircase using a single monocular image. By relying on only a single image, we negate the need for extraneous accessories and glean as much information from common pictures. We do not hope to achieve the high level of accuracy …

Slope deflection analysis of trussed rigid frames
… The point of great importance in deriving slope deflection equations is that the imaginary plates or bars are added at separated domains or parts. Because of the existence of imaginary plates or bars the whole trussed-rigid-frame can be regarded as the rigid beam frame. The equations for …

Slope/shelf circulation and cross-slope/shelf transport out of a bay driven by eddies from the open ocean
… Circumpolar Current and the continental slope/shelf in the Marguerite Bay and west Antarctic Peninsula is examined as interaction between a wind-driven channel flow and a zonally uniform slope with a bay-shaped shelf to the south. Two control mechanisms, eddy advection and propagation of …

Interaction of an eddy with a continental slope
… with an exponential continental shelf/slope topography on both f and β-planes. The f-plane model recasts the important features of chapter two. The roles of the eddy size and strength and the geometry of topography are studied. It is seen that the multiple anticyclonic eddy-slope …

Slope and bifurcation on braided distributive fluvial systems
… bifurcation and avulsion are related to the 1) slope of the river channel, 2) the slope of the ground perpendicular to the channel, and 3) the ratio of the slope of the floodplain or valley perpendicular to the channel-belt, relative to the down-stream or down–valley slope of the existing …

Observation of Shelfwater Overrunning the Southern Slope Sea
… These episodes are dubbed overrunning of the Slope Sea by shelf water. The overrunning volume has a "face" and a "back" (southern and northern limit). It transports substantial quantities of shelf water southward, and does not retreat onto the shelf, but eventually joins the western edge of …
