Numerous techniques have been presented by different researchers to analyze piled raft. In order to analyze pile foundation, soil can be modeled as spring, continuous medium, or porous media. Pile can also be modeled as spring or continuous medium. This study includes three main stages: a short description of different types of analysis methods of pile foundation, writing a computer program bas...

The effect of vibration on soil compaction has gained a good reputation when consolidating an artificially improved foundation. studies aimed at analyzing the deep properties compacted water-saturated have made it possible to establish that can be effective means consolidation speeding-up. Vibration contributes emergence additional excess pressures in pore water; filtration rate due increased p...

Thermal diffusion has been studied for over 150 years. Despite of the long history and the increasing importance of the phenomenon, the physics of thermal diffusion remains poorly understood. In this paper Ludwig’s thermal diffusion is explained using Einstein’s random walk. The only new structure added is the spatial heterogeneity of the random walk to reflect the temperature gradient of therm...

Acoustic emission (AE) is capable of monitoring the cracking activities inside materials. In this study, embedded sensors were employed to monitor the AE behavior of early age concrete. Type 1-3 cement-based piezoelectric composites, which had lower mechanical quality factor and acoustic impedance, were fabricated and used to make sensors. Sensors made of the composites illustrated broadband fr...

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) regulates financial accounting. FASB issues two kinds of accounting pronouncements. The first kind are Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts (SFACs). They are the theoretical foundation for the regulations which are promulgated in the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFASs). FASB‟s theoretical statements are based on unstated ph...

In this paper, transverse vibrations of thin circular plates with guided edge and resting on Winkler foundation have been studied on the basis of Classical Plate Theory. Parametric investigations on the vibration of circular plates resting on elastic foundation have been carried out with respect to various foundation stiffness parameters. Twelve vibration modes are presented. The location of th...
