The water-physical and strength properties of the soil from site a landslide were determined in laboratory conditions. According to results shear tests, dependences indices (adhesion, angle internal friction) loam samples on humidity constructed. magnitude mass is determined. By constructing various possible sliding surfaces, most dangerous surface was stability coefficient for each them. relia...

The Savage-Hutter (SH) avalanche model is a depth-averaged dynamical model of a fluid-like continuum implementing the following simplifying assumptions: (i) density preserving, (ii) shallowness of the avalanche piles and small topographic curvatures, (iii) Coulomb-type sliding with bed friction angle delta and (iv) Mohr-Coulomb behaviour in the interior with internal angle of friction phi> or =...

The peak and critical state strengths of sands are linearly related to the stress level, just as the frictional resistance to sliding along an interface is related to the normal force. The analogy with frictional sliding has led to the use of a 'friction angle' to describe the relationship between strength and stress for soils. The term 'friction angle' implies that the underlying mechanism is ...

This study evaluated the effects of physical characteristics and geologic factors on the shear strength of compacted sands from Wisconsin that are used as granular backfill for mechanically stabilized earth walls and reinforced soil slopes. Physical properties and shear strength were determined for 30 compacted sands collected from a broad range of geological deposits. Relationships between str...

in this article, the size, dimensions, volume, bulk and particle densities, empyting and filling angles of repose and friction coefficients against different surfaces were evaluated for two varieties of barley, sahra and valfajr, as a function of moisture content in the range of 10.12 to 42.17 (w.b.%). most physical properties of barley varieties were significantly affected by moisture content ...

Dissimilar joint with good quality and mechanical properties is one of the major problems the industries. One of the most commonly used methods to solve this problem is friction stir welding process. In this paper two different tool pin with simple cylindrical and screwed profile were used to finding optimization of friction stir welding parameters to reach best mixing flow, composite structure...

Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are an excellent source of energy, minerals, and bypass protein for ruminants and are used in monogastric rations as well. With the remarkable growth of the US fuel ethanol industry in the past decade, large quantities of distillers grains are now being produced. Flow of DDGS is often restricted by caking and bridging during its storage and transport...

The amplitude-dependent internal friction due to dislocations oscillating in the lattice is described in terms of dislocation mobility. This kind of intemal friction is expressed in elementary forms in the two limiting cases, i.e. at hish and low frequencies, and with the results obtained, the behavior of relaxation peaks due to dislocations are discussed 1 INTRODUCTION The amplitude-dependent ...
