A new method for the analysis of spatial pattern in two dimensions is described. The technique uses data collected in square or rectangular grids of quadrats to examine the scale of pattern in vegetation, no matter how the grids are oriented with respect to the pattern. Its usefulness is demonstrated by application to artificial data. The method is also applied to vegetation classification data derived from LANDSAT TM satellite imagery of a valley in the Yukon, Canada, in which the effects of experimental manipulations on boreal communities are being studied. A set of 2 × 2 km squares of the valley were selected for analysis in which the vegetation composition squares varies considerably. The analysis shows that most of the squares had one and only one scale of two dimensional pattern, consistently in the range of 360–780 m.

The present design of soil–steel bridges is based on plane-strain analysis by considering a slice of a unit width of the conduit wall and the surrounding soil. This two-dimensional analysis neglects the third-dimensional effect of the steel shell and the soil continuum which could be significant especially when the load varies in the longitudinal direction, as in the case of live load acting over a shallow cover. The structure is also subjected to a varying dead load due to the variation in the depth of cover from maximum at the middle part of the conduit to zero at the conduit edges. A three-dimensional finite element analysis is presented in this paper to examine the actual three-dimensional behaviour of soil-steel bridges. The thrust and bending moment around the conduit walls as well as the stability of a single conduit are presented and compared with the results obtained from plane-strain analysis. Also, the live load dispersion in the soil above the conduit is examined and compared with some present codes. The study leads to evaluation of the degree of approximation inherited with the practical approaches of the two-dimensional analysis. Key words: conduit, corrugated steel, three-dimensional analysis, stability, soil–steel bridges.
