Recently, it has been suggested that Darcy's Law might not be applicable for modelling miscible, density-dependent flow in porous media. To investigate this, three sets of careful laboratory column experiments were performed on coarse and medium sands, consisting ...

The most useful tool for deciding which soils can be dentified by dynamic methods is the cone penetration test. Based on the CPT data, variation of the coefficient of earth pressure in normally consolidated and overconsolidated soil and effect of soil compaction ...
