One of the methods for the improvement of soil against the tensile stresses is using the artificial supplements in soil such as metal belts or nets, polymer materials and natural fibers. Technically this method is called the reinforced of soil.  When a pavement is located on soft soil, great deformations can occur as a result of the crossing of traffic load in superstructure layers of the body....

With the fast-growing graphical user interface (GUI) development workload in Internet industry, some work attempted to generate maintainable front-end code from GUI screenshots. It can be more suitable for using (UI) design drafts that contain UI metadata. However, fragmented layers inevitably appear drafts, which greatly reduces quality of generated code. None existing automated techniques det...

large size direct shear tests (i.e.300 x 300mm) were conducted to investigate the interaction between clay reinforced with geogrids embedded in thin layers of sand. test results for the clay, sand, clay-sand, clay-geogrid, sandgeogrid and clay-sand-geogrid are discussed. thin layers of sand including 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14mm were used to increase the interaction between the clay and the geogrid...

graphyne and graphdiyne families of flat carbon (sp2/sp) networks with high degrees of π-conjunction are attracting much attention due to their promising electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. in the present investigation we have studied the structural, mechanical, electrical and optical properties of halogenated graphdiyne and graphyne. the optical spectra of pure and halogenated stru...
