Microstructure showing the involvement of fine and coarse grains in soil skeleton is evaluated. Incremental loading tests using a stress-dependent permeameter are conducted on mixtures poorly graded sand nonplastic fines originating from tailings. The results compared with published data various It shown that increasing content 0% to 100%, components can be classified into four categories: no (...

The dynamic behavior of a price-fixing cartel is explored when it is concerned about creating suspicions that a cartel has formed. Consistent with preceding static theories, the cartel’s steady-state price is decreasing in the damage multiple and the probability of detection. However, contrary to those theories, it is independent of the level of fixed fines. It is also shown that the cartel pri...

The controlled laboratory experiment is spreading rapidly as a method for evaluating theories of economic behaviour and policy prescriptions. Environmental regulation is an area that is ripe for laboratory investigation. This paper presents insights drawn from the existing literature using laboratory methods in economics and related disciplines on the use of taxation and subsidy, standards and ...

Riverside nontronite, a candidate for Team. This material was one of the best early the major mineral in the Martian fines, becomes matches for the Viking XRF spectra [Clark et al., both redder and darker upon shock loading between 1977] and has been used as a base for subsequent 180 and 300 kbar. The change from olive-yellow mixing experiments to match the Martian fines (2.5 Y 6/6) to strong b...

-Long before the Industrial Revolution and the coming of the machine age, Scottish craftsmen, like their colleagues south of the Border, had their Guilds and Incorporations to -safeguard their interests in professional matters and to look after the welfare of their decayed brethren.' The Common Chests of the Incorporations were sustained in several ways, partly by entrance fees, partly by membe...

The models that were analyzed using FLAC version 4.0 (FLAC, 2000) are shown on Figure 5.1. The models have different soil types: loose silty sand with 20% fines content (Figures 5.1a and 5.1b), soft clay (Figure 5.1c), and silt (Figure 5.1d). Hence, the determination of the parameters is different for each model. The following sections discuss the determination of the parameters used in the ana...
