Géotechnique Letters has named a paper authored by COFS researchers Dr Shiaohuey Chow, Dr Conleth O’Loughlin and Professor Christophe Gaudin with Mr Riccardo Corti and Dr Andrea Diambra from the University of Bristol, as the journal’s best publication for Quarter 2, 2015.

The paper, Drained cyclic capacity of plate anchors in dense sand: experimental and theoretical observations , provides experimental evidence and proposes a macro-element theoretical model that shows and explains that the drained cyclic capacity of a plate anchor in dry, dense sand may be higher than the equivalent monotonic capacity. The experiments were carried out using the COFS centrifuge facilities.

Géotechnique Letters have made the paper free to read online. The paper can be viewed at https://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/content/article/10.1680/geolett.15.00019;jsessionid=druttxajtid2.x-telford-live-01
