Stability of Slopes and Embankments of Coarse Man-made Soils
Abstract The suitability of soils for the construction of subgrade is determined by their road-building properties. For this purpose coarse, sandy and sandy loam soils are the most suitable. Many coarse man-made soils are formed during mining. These ...

Response bounds for complex systems with a localised and uncertain nonlinearity
Abstract Predicting the vibration response of complex nonlinear structures is a significant challenge: the response may involve many modes of the structure; nonlinearity precludes the use of efficient techniques developed for linear systems; and...

Assessing Impervious Area Ratios of Grid-based Land Use Classifications on the Example of an Urban Watershed
Abstract When applying a distributed hydrological model in urban watersheds, grid-based land use classification data with 10 m resolution are typically used in Japan. Land use classifications into 17 categories are made without taking into account...
