Design of roadside barrier systems for MSE retaining walls
There is confusion among civil engineers in the United States regarding the applicable design method and the appropriate impact load for sizing the moment slab of roadside barrier systems atop MSE retaining walls. The design method and impact load discussed herein have been used successfully for more than 15 years to size the barrier moment slab and to determine the magnitude of loads applied t...
متن کاملDesign Of Retaining Walls : System Uncertainty & Fuzzy Safety Measures
This paper explores some of the aspects of embedded retaining wall design, in particular the interrelationship between system uncertainty and the use of factors of safety in the various design procedures. System uncertainty reflects the mismatch between idealised retaining wall behaviour and what is observed in practice. This feature is modelled using the concept of fuzzy sets where the degree ...
متن کاملharmony search based algorithms for the optimum cost design of reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls
cost optimization of the reinforced concrete cantilever soil retaining wall of a given height satisfying some structural and geotechnical design constraints is performed utilizing harmony search and improved harmony search algorithms. the objective function considered is the cost of the structure, and design is based on aci 318-05. this function is minimized subjected to design constraints. a n...

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...
Finite Element Analysis of Earth Pressures for Narrow Retaining Walls
High traffic demands have led to widening of existing highways to accommodate increased traffic volume. However, due to the high cost of additional right-of-way and limited space available at job sites, construction of earth retaining walls is often done under a constrained space. This leads to retaining walls that are narrower than in design guidelines. This type of walls is referred as “Narro...
