Experiments were carried out to determine the effect of discontinuities on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in samples of chalk and sandstone obtained from tunnel sites at Chinnor, Oxfordshire and Warrington, Cheshire respectively. In particular the effect of normal stress across a closed discontinuity was investigated. Tests to determine the wave velocity, attenuation coefficients and the e…
The maximum measured ground vibration (expressed in terms of resultant peak particle velocity) was 3.9 mm/s. The vibration was characterised by random high velocity particle motions resulting from impacts between the machine's disc cutters and glacial boulders in the tunnel face. Surface and subsurface settlement measurements were made along the tunnel line. Laboratory tests and other field dat…

"Education for Librarianship: Decisions in Organising a System of Professional Education" refers to a foundational book by Peter G. New, focusing on the strategic planning and core principles (access, ethics, technology) needed to structure librarian training, addressing shifts from traditional roles to modern information management, emphasizing practical skills, lifelong learning, and the evol…
The new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) requires the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of concrete materials as a direct input to determine critical pavement distresses. Since equipment for measuring CTE was not available for commercial procurement at the time of this study, an automated device was developed in this study in accordance with AASHTO TP 60. The device is e…
