Experimental data from loading tests of model circular footings on soft normally consolidated clay are presented. The experiments were carried out on a drum centrifuge at a radial acceleration level equivalent to 100 times Earth’s gravity, ensuring conditions of stress similitude between the model and the prototype scale. The aim of the experiments was to compare the undrained response of diffe...

Quantitative research findings suggest that young adults resolve alcohol problems without participating in support groups or formal treatment programs. However, researchers have failed to fully explain the self-resolution process among this age group. Thus, the authors used grounded theory to better explicate why and how young adults self-resolve alcohol problems. The findings suggest that self...

This paper proposes a hybrid control method of using the impedance control and the computed-torque control for biped robot locomotion. The computedtorque control is used for supporting (mn.strained) leg. For the free leg, the impedance control is wed, where different values of impedance parameters are used depending on the gait phase of the biped robot. To reduce the magnitude of an impact and ...
