Although integral abutment bridges (IABs) have become a preferred construction choice for short- to medium-length bridges, they still unclear bridge design guidelines. As IABs are supported by nonlinear boundaries, geometric parameters strongly affect IAB behavior and complicate predicting the response assessment purposes. This study demonstrates effect of four dominant parameters: (1) girder m...

The bearing capacity of a single pile in granular soil was analyzed piles under vertical loads in the study of the mechanism of shaft fiiction. The effect of the deformation modulus on the bearing capacity of the single pile in granular materials, and especially in sand, was examined. By using the FLAC program for the finite element analysis it was possible to predict quite accurately the load ...

Large landslides exhibit surprisingly long runout distances compared to a rigid body sliding from the same slope, and the mechanism of this phenomena has been studied for decades. This paper shows that the observed long runouts can be explained quite simply via a granular pile flowing downhill, while collapsing and spreading, without the need for frictional weakening that has traditionally been...

in this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. inducedseismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. according to api, seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

The introduction of Eurocode in Kazakhstan allows for the application modern technological innovations and elimination technical barriers realization international projects. It is significant to study standards design requirements provided Eurocode. This presents a comparative analysis Kazakhstani European approaches geotechnical foundations provides methods considered codes practice. Three dif...

Relying on a deep foundation pit project in Beijing, using FLAC3D three-dimensional finite-difference software simulation combined with displacement monitoring data verification method, the excavation and three-pile two-anchor rod support system anhydrous sand pebble stratum are systematically analyzed, summed up variation law of formation stress, internal force soil nail, axial bolt, stress pi...

Plastic deformation of polycrystalline solids is accompanied by the appearance linear rotational-type mesodefects at grain boundary ledges and triple junction grains, such as starin induced disclinations. Junction disclinations generate long-range spatially inhomogeneous fields elastic stresses, which significantly influence on structure formation, strain hardening fracture materials. In presen...

For pile foundations subjected to lateral loads, an analysis method should account for the response of the combined soil-pile system. Current practice for pile-soil interaction analysis usually employs a series of springs to model the lateral behavior of soil-pile interaction. In this method, the force (p) – deformation (y) function, widely known as p-y curve, of the spring characterizes the pi...

The problem of pulse pile-up is very often encountered in precise measurements of γ-rays using germanium detectors. The standard method of treating the pile-up events is to identify and reject them using an appropriate electronic system. Digital acquisition techniques now allow the recording of waveforms of pile-up events that can be analyzed and the contributing single pulses recovered, rather...
