The structure of soil refers to the properties and arrangement particles pores, as well their interactions, which have a significant impact on mechanical behavior soil. Clarifying strengths weaknesses can effectively ensure engineering safety during designing. In this study, structural soft in Wujiaba area Kunming City was studied. A comprehensive parameter <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/M...

Leachate recirculation (LR) in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills operated as bioreactors offers significant economic and environmental benefits. The subsurface application method of vertical wells is one of the most common LR techniques. The objective of this study was to develop a novel two-dimensional model of leachate recirculation using vertical wells. This novel method can describe lea...

Beginning in the late 1980s, lobster (Homarus americanus) landings for the state of Maine and the Bay of Fundy increased to levels more than three times their previous 20-year means. Reduced predation may have permitted the expansion of lobsters into previously inhospitable territory, but we argue that in this region the spatial patterns of recruitment and the abundance of lobsters are substant...

In recent years, shield tunneling has shown many advantages with the development of underground rail traffic. Geological exploration plays a significant role in tunnel engineering, and detailed geological results can guide successful construction tunnel. This research relies on super large-diameter construction, using microtremor technology to collect data onsite. Combined comparative analysis ...

This paper presents a numerical methodology to analyze frame structures supported on footing foundations subjected slow strains caused by consolidation settlements. A building project subsurface layer of soft soil has been analyzed. The Boundary Element Method with the Mindlin fundamental solution applied compute displacement resulting from interference between pressure bulbs foundation. rheolo...

The paper presents classical and non-classical rheological schemes used to formulate constitutive models of the one-dimensional consolidation problem. authors paid special attention secondary effects in organic soils as well soil over-consolidation phenomenon. systems partial differential equations were formulated for every model solved numerically obtain settlement curves. Selected numerical r...

Models of settlement Various lines of evidence indicate that the ‘homeland’, or Hawaiiki, of the early Polynesian settlers of Aotearoa was eastern Polynesia (e.g. see Sutton, 1994; Howe, 2003). Establishing the timing of settlement has been problematic, however. The most recent and reliable evidence, both from archaeological and natural sites, points consistently to initial settlement between c...

This paper suggests a new set of analytical solutions for predicting leakage-induced seepage field and ground settlement in saturated clay. A unique feature of the solutions presented is considering the effect of the tunnel lining through the relative permeability between the tunnel and the soil. Through the superposition method, the proposed method can be easily extended to twin parallel tunne...
