A deformation measurement system based on particle image velocimetry (PIV) and close-range photogrammetry has been developed for use in geotechnical testing as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
A deformation measurement system based on particle image velocimetry (PIV) and close-range photogrammetry has been developed for use in geotechnical testing. In this paper, the theory underlying this system is described, and the performance is validated. Digital photography is used to capture images of planar soil deformation. Using PIV, the movement of a fine mesh of soil patches is measured to a high precision. Since PIV operates on the image texture, intrusive target markers need not be installed in the observed soil. The resulting displacement vectors are converted from image space to object space using a photogrammetric transformation. A series of validation experiments are reported. These demonstrate that the precision, accuracy and resolution of the system are an order of magnitude higher than previous image-based deformation methods, and are comparable to local instrumentation used in element testing. This performance is achieved concurrent with an order of magnitude increase in the number of meas...read more

TL;DR: Pipatpongsa et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the failure mechanism of undercut slopes, where the major principal stresses dominate the force supporting the arches in the circumferential direction, and minor principal stresses represent the force confining the stacks of arches.

Effect of reinforcement arrangement on dynamic behaviour of back-to-back mechanically stabilised earth walls
TL;DR: In this article, reduced-scale shaking table tests were performed on steel-strip back-to-back mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) wall models to evaluate the effect of the overlap length of the reinforcements.
