Geosynthetic Materials and its Properties for Reinforced Earth Structures

The national planners have put infrastructures development on priority. This has resulted in transport planning widening of National Highway and new roads in country. Thus work of Retaining Earth (RE) structures/ slopes will be going to design in very large numbers over different areas. The availability of backfill material compatible with geosynthetics reinforcements and economy in both has be...

Protective Construction with Reinforced Earth

The objective of this research is to develop a simple analytical method that characterizes plane shock wave propagation through reinforced earth and the dynamic interaction with modular retaining wall panels. The shock wave was initiated as a velocity boundary condition. The exact solution was obtained by the Laplace transform method. A step-by-step design procedure based on the "limit state" c...

On the Mathematical Foundations of Syntactic Structures

Chomsky’s highly influential Syntactic Structures (SS) has been much praised its originality, explicitness, and relevance for subsequent cognitive science. Such claims are greatly overstated. SS contains no proof that English is beyond the power of finite state description (it is not clear that Chomsky ever gave a sound mathematical argument for that claim). The approach advocated by SS springs...

Soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous structures

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order. Firstly, we give the definition of soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order. Secondly, we induce a soft double fuzzy topology from a given soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order by using soft double fuzzy interior operator.
