This paper presents the results of hydraulic model tests on the stability of rubble mound breakwaters with armour layers of antifer cubes. The tests were performed using irregular waves. The effect of wave parameters and the structure slope on the stability of these artificial armour units has been investigated and the stability formulae have been derived. Finally a comparison between these for...

a study was conducted to determine habitat suitability of goitred gazelle (gazella subgutturosa) in kalmand-bahadoran protected area during four seasons of year 2003-2004.the geographic position of dispersal points of gazelle herds was recorded with global position system. the data were transmitted into attributed tables in arc view software and their layers were created. the maps of slope, alt...

Analysis of the sagittal balance of the spine includes the study of the spinal curves and of the pelvis in the sagittal plane. It therefore requires full-spine lateral radiographs. The sagittal balance of the spine was studied in forty-nine young adults. Strong correlations were observed between parameters related to the pelvis ("pelvic incidence angle", "sacral slope" and "pelvic tilting"), an...

Data from the Palomar Testbed Interferometer, with a baseline length of 110 m and an observing wavelength of 2.2 μm, were used to derive information on atmospheric turbulence on 64 nights in 1999. The measured two-aperture variance coherence times at 2.2 μm ranged from 25 msec to 415 msec (the lower value was set by instrumental limitations—the interferometer could not operate when the coherenc...

The structure of gravity currents and plumes, in an unbounded ambient, on a slope of arbitrary angle is analysed. Inviscid, rotational flow solutions in a wedge are used to study the flow near the front of a current, and used to show that the Froude number is radical2 and the angle of the front to the slope is 60 degrees. This extends the result of von Kármán (1940) to arbitrary slope angles an...

Landslides are a major natural hazard, threatening communities and infrastructure worldwide. The mitigation of these hazards relies on the understanding their causes triggering processes, which depends directly soil properties, land use, changes over time. In this study, we propose novel framework to estimate probability failure in highly developed urban areas. combines remote sensing geophysic...

in the past, rock slope stability analysis were performed either graphically or using a hand-held calculator, but nowadays there are variety of slope stability analysis which can be used according to the field condition and potential failure mode. in 2-d analysis, effect of convex and concave walls are neglected, however concave slopes are believed to be more stable than straight walls due to t...

Shallow buried and unsymmetrically loaded tunnel is the most common type of mountain portal. Currently, studies mainly focus on stability side slope, while investigation deformation front slope after excavation relatively less. In this paper, influence gradient angle between portal was analyzed by FLAC3D. The results show that: When greater than 40°, caused larger with increase angle. order to ...
