A study of the reactivation of landsliding at Barton-on-Sea, Hampshire, following stabilisation works in the 1960s
No full textThe mostly clay cliffs of Barton-on-Sea, Hampshire, comprise inhomogeneous strata of the Bracklesham, Barton and Headon Hill Formations, overlain unconformably by Plateau Gravels, and have a long history of erosion and instability. Heavily-engineered stabilisation works involving a 1,500m-long sheet-piled wall and cut-off drain were installed in the 1960s but a number of catastrophic failures of the wall have occurred at locations along the Barton frontage since then. This report is concerned with the failures at Cliff House Hotel / Tom’s Garden and at Hoskins Gap West.Extensive monitoring of the cliffs over the past sixty years has produced a large and diverse dataset which has been compiled, analysed and assessed in this report. This includes inclinometer, piezometer and rainfall records, topographic surveying, aerial and ground photography, borehole and exposures logs, consultants’ reports, engineering drawings and newspaper articles. This report identifies characteristics of the key periods of activity at the two locations and compares and contrasts them. Maps of the areas of activity, cliff-top retreat, revetment movement and drainage patterns are provided. Fieldwork undertaken for the project includes the logging of three cliff exposures and the surveying of four cross-section profiles. Drawing on the information available it charts the progress of instability in the two study areas, suggests possible mechanisms for the failures and offers a prediction of future activity based upon the mechanisms described

Histories, Allen-Barton
No full textThe Daughters of Utah Pioneers, Phillips Camp biographies (circa 1940-1974) is a collection of biographical sketches of Utah pioneers submitted to the Phillips Camp, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, in Kaysville, Utah. The individual sketches give insight into the socioeconomic status of European, as well New World, converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the nineteenth century. They contain biographical and genealogical information, as well as descriptions of experiences crossing the Atlantic to America and traveling across the plains to Utah. Minute details of pioneering life in Davis County, Utah, and other frontier outposts of settlement are illuminated. Described also are individual occupations and survival techniques along with information on offices held in, and services to, the church and the community. Biographies include: Mary Sims Allen (1847-1925), 1 page; William Allen (1849-1928), 2 pages; Anthone Edward Anderson (1839-1906), 2 pages; Pernilla J.

Thermoelastic investigation of damage evolution in small stainless steel pipework
No full textThis paper describes work on damage studies in small cold worked pipe sections. The effect of material heat treatment on the sensitivity of the thermoelastic constant to exposure to plastic strain is assessed. It is shown that strain hardening plays an important role in modifying the thermoelastic constant. X-ray computed tomography has been use to assess the geometry of the deformed cross-section of pipe and to identify the presence of damage. Finally the potential of thermoelastic stress analysis for damage assessment in the pipe work is established
