Structure of Stable Sand Piles Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study a variant of the Sand Piles Model, where the evolution rule consists of the falling down of one grain to a random column and an avalanche to reach a stable configuration. We prove that the infinite set of all stable configurations have a lattice structure which is a sublattice of Young lattice. At the end, based on a discussion about avalanches, we construct a generating tree of this model and show its strongtly recursive structure.

Kadanoff Sand Piles, following the snowball
This paper is about cubic sand grains moving around on nicely packed columns in one dimension (the physical sand pile is two dimensional, but the support of sand columns is one dimensional). The Kadanoff Sand Pile Model is a discrete dynamical system describing the evolution of a finite number of stacked grains —as they would fall from an hourglass— to a stable configuration. Grains move accord...
متن کاملCentrifuge modelling of sand compaction piles in soft clay under embankment load
Sand compaction piles are used in practice for ground improvement of soft subsoil in order to accelerate consolidation, reduce compressibility, and increase strength. The current design procedure of sand compaction piles is based on simple empirical calculations, which does not take full account of the sand pile behaviour. This research project investigates the behaviour of a base reinforced em...
متن کاملCentrifuge modelling of long piles subjected to lateral loading with high load eccentricity in sand
In this research paper, five centrifuge lateral loading tests of long piles with a considerable load eccentricity were carried out in the sand to investigate the impacts of the load eccentricity and pile length changes on the lateral behavior of a flexible pile beside the determination of experimental p-y curves. Comparing experimental test results with the recommended API (American Petroleum ...
متن کاملPerformance of helical piles in oil sand
The results of a comprehensive pile load-test program and observations from field monitoring of helical piles with either a single helix or double helixes installed in oil sand are presented in this paper. Eleven full-scale pile load tests were carried out including axial compression, uplift, and lateral load tests. The results of the full-scale load tests are used to develop a theoretical desi...
متن کاملPullout capacity of batter pile in sand
Many offshore structures are subjected to overturning moments due to wind load, wave pressure, and ship impacts. Also most of retaining walls are subjected to horizontal forces and bending moments, these forces are due to earth pressure. For foundations in such structures, usually a combination of vertical and batter piles is used. Little information is available in the literature about estimat...
