SIMPLIFIED METHOD FOR ESTIMATING MAXIMUM SHEAR STRESS IN THE GROUND DURING EARTHQUAKES

Estimating the Maximum Shear Modulus with Neural Networks

Small strain shear modulus is one of the most important geotechnical parameters to characterize soil stiffness. In-situ stiffness of soils and rocks is much higher than was previously thought as finite element analysis have shown. Also, the stress-strain behaviour of those materials is non-linear in most cases with small strain levels. The commun approach for getting the small strain shear modu...

Comparison of Three Soft Computing Methods in Estimating Apparent Shear Stress in Compound Channels

Apparent shear stress acting on a vertical interface between the main channel and floodplain in a compound channel serves to quantify the momentum transfer between sub sections of this cross section. In this study, three soft computing methods are used to simulate apparent shear stress in prismatic compound channels. The Genetic Algorithm Artificial neural network (GAA), Genetic Programming (GP...

A method for measuring the critical shear stress of cohesive soils

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
