Settlement Characteristics of Soft Ground Applying the Suction Drain Method

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...

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...

Does the suction drain diameter matter? Bleeding analysis after total knee replacement comparing different suction drain gauges☆

OBJECTIVES To evaluate bleeding and the estimated blood loss in patients who underwent total knee replacement (TKR) with different closed suction drains (3.2-mm and 4.8-mm gauge). METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial with 22 patients who underwent TKR and were divided into two groups: Group I, with 11 patients in whom the 3.2-mm suction drain was used, and Group II, with 11 patients...
