چکیده
IV For the calculation of the local critical velocity for a bed of sack gabions, it is advised to use Izbash' formula with a gabion stability factor (γ in formula [10]) while calculating the nominal diameter of a sack gabion as in formula [1] (a mass based approach):

Deformation Analyses of Gabion Structures
This study proposed a numerical procedure to simulate the deformation behaviors of the uniaxial compression test of single gabion and of the lateral loading test of full scale gabion retaining wall. The validity of the numerical procedures is verified by the comparison of the measurements with the simulations of deformation behavior. In addition, two evaluation equations which are capable of es...
متن کاملAir Entrainment and Energy Dissipation on Gabion Stepped Weirs
In the last three decades the design of stepped spillways regained some interest because of their suitability with new construction methods including gabion placement. In this study, the hydraulic performances of gabion stepped weirs were investigated experimentally in terms of the air-water flow properties and energy dissipation rate. A physical study was performed in a relatively large size f...
متن کاملSeismic Behavior of One-Storey Gabion-Box Walls Buildings
Gabion-boxes, made with steel wire mesh and filled with stones of appropriated size, are normally stacked up one into another to form a retaining wall. Given their reduced costs and the easy availability of their constituting materials, gabion-box walls have been extensively used in developing countries (such as Nepal) also to realize simple one-storey residential buildings. In recent years, ma...
متن کاملFree-Standing Gabion Walls in Seismic Regions
This thesis investigates the behavior of free-standing gabion walls in areas of mild seismicity. To investigate this behavior, three walls of varying internal cable patterns were constructed at a quarter-scale. These walls were tested with a mass shaker, and mode shapes, tone extractions, and damping ratios were calculated. A modal analysis was conducted using design spectra created from a suit...
متن کاملTwo-Phase Flow on a Gabion Stepped Spillway: Cavity and Seepage Air-Water Motion
On a stepped spillway, the steps contribute to some dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy, while free-surface aeration can be very intense. The aim of this study is to investigate the two-phase flow properties on a gabion stepped spillway, including both free-surface and seepage flows, as well as the bubbly flow interactions at the gabion interface. Detailed measurements were conducted in...
