In a combined piled raft foundation (CPRF) both and piles take their share of the total load applied. However, in practice, contribution taking is usually ignored assumed to be supported on piles. This way CPRF becomes excessively conservative uneconomical. To economize design, relative sharing has found. this connection, different simplified methods have been developed, each one with some limi...

The consequences to structures caused by permanent fault displacement have been investigated for dip-slip faulting, but not the effect of embedment depth on interaction between a normal rupture and shallow embedded foundation. This study foundation using numerical model validated with centrifuge experiments. It was found that gapping mechanism distress occurred at different positions relative o...

As claimed by many behavioral scientists, designing should be based on the knowledge of interaction between human and environment. Environmental quality is also created in the context in which humans interact with their environment. To achieve such quality, designers should develop appropriate models for explaining this relationship, and this requires an understanding of human nature and the en...

this paper shows how game theory can be applied to modeling the interaction between government and manufacturer in implementation of cleaner production. a generic game model based upon ‘two-person non-cooperative’ static game is created to allow various strategic actions being tested by stages, and aid decision making by selecting optimal strategy for both manufacturer and policy maker to reduc...

There are varieties of techniques for calculating natural frequency of the structures. Nevertheless, these equations are less developed in the geotechnical structures such as slopes, buttress group, dams, and retaining walls. In earth dams, with respecting to the dimensions and weight of dam, soil-structure interaction is of prime importance for finding seismic parameters including natural freq...

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic buckling of double-walled boron-nitride nanotube (DWBNNT) conveying viscous fluid is investigated based on Eringen's theory. BNNT is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam and is subjected to combine mechanical, electrical and thermal loading. The effect of viscosity on fluid-BNNT interaction is considered based on Navier-Stokes relation. The van der Waals (vdW)...
