Prediction of Settlement in Natural Deposited Clay Ground with Risk of Large Residual Settlement Due to Embankment Loading

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...

Settlement Risk in Large-Value Payments Systems

The tremendous growth of payments system use throughout the world has increased both the possibility of settlement failures and the potential impact of such failures. Two decades ago, the risks were relatively low. For example, the daily payment flow of foreign exchange transactions was roughly the same magnitude as the capital stock of a large U.S. bank. In 1996, however, the average daily tur...

settlement analysis of embankment with finite element method

it is correct control and monitoring of modern embankment dams that are very vital in the geotechniqual constructions. the improvement of methods of stability control, using the effective stress and the measurement of ganglionic water pressure in embankment dams cause more the safety for this kind of dams. nowedays there is such an idea that in stead of using of being safety factor against coas...

Settlement Risk under Gross and Net Settlement

Previous comparative analyses of gross and net settlement have focused on the credit risk of the central counterparty in net settlement arrangements, and on the incentives for participants to alter the risk of the portfolio under net settlement. By modeling the trading economy that generates the demand for payment services, we are able to show some largely unexplored advantages of net settlemen...
