M. D. Bolton, Auteur ; J. M. R. Wilson, Auteur |The dynamic properties of dry Leighton Buzzard sand have been investigated using a resonant column test apparatus. These data are compared with very low frequency cyclic tests on identical specimens of sand. The comparison indicates that the pro[...]

S. Y. Lam, Auteur ; M. D. Bolton, Auteur |Finite-element analyses (FEA) and case histories of deep excavations in soft clay are used to validate a decision-making tool based on an extended mobilizable strength design (MSD) method that permits the designer an extremely simple method of p[...]

C. Y. Cheuk, Auteur ; D. J. White, Auteur ; M. D. Bolton, Auteur |Reliable design against upheaval buckling of offshore pipelines requires the uplift response to be predicted. This paper describes a model-scale investigation into the mechanisms by which uplift resistance is mobilized in silica sand, and illust[...]
