Applicability of settlement prediction method to peaty ground

Applicability of Elastic Analysis for Predicting the Settlement Distribution Around Tunneling in Soft Ground (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this article a brief review of the literature on the subject is cited. The method of analysis by a finite element program is discussed in which the effect of different influential parameters are examined. The results of these computations are then compared to the corresponding empirical data and two other existing formulae for two dimensional cases. The comparisons show quite reliable and ac...

Relationship Between Ground Settlement Due to Tunnelling and Ground Physico-mechanical Peroperties (RESEARCH NOTES)

Effect of engineering geological characteristics of Tehran’s recent alluvia on ground settlement due to tunneling

Ground settlement due to the shallow tunneling in urban areas can have considerable implications for aboveground civilinfrastructures. Engineering geological characteristics of the tunnel host ground including geotechnical parameters of surrounding soil,groundwater situation, and in situ stress condition are amongst the most important factors affecting settlement. In this research, groundsettle...

On the applicability of trapped vortices to ground vehicles

The aim of this paper is twofold: first to review an important area of research in fluid dynamics: that of trapped vortices, and secondly, to highlight the opportunities/challenges of the trapped vortex concept when applied to ground vehicles. It is shown that trapped vortices are an effective technology for the reduction of drag on aerodynamic vehicles. There is, however, a formidable challeng...
