The National Science Foundation will award almost $5 million over five years to UC Davis to include the large earthquake-simulating centrifuge at the Center for Geotechnical Modeling as part of the ...

Deep geological disposal is a globally recognized and safe method for long-term management of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). However, over extended periods of nuclear waste storage, there is the ...

Pile group interaction during lateral loading reduces lateral resistance. Based on full-scale lateral pile group testing, the reduction is a function of pile spacing, row position and soil type.
