Northwest of Syria is part of one of the very active deformation belt on the Earth today. This area and the western part of Syria are located along the great rift system (Left-Lateral or AfricanSyrian Rift System). Those areas are tectonically active and caused a lot of seismically events. The AL-Ghab Graben complex is situated within this wide area of Cenozoic deformation. The system formed, i...

Inspired by two practical cases in Switzerland, the paper investigates a problem of elevated earth pressures downslope existing landslides. This is relevant for both permanent landslides and one-time events, particular interest area stable slope just below landslide high-pressure compression zone. Intuitively, there should be transition zone, within which high subside to far field (at rest) slo...

Cutaneous horn is a horn-like keratotic lesion, which commonly occurs on the head and face, over a wide range of benign or malignant skin lesions. Callosity is a hyperkeratotic plaque produced by intermittent or continuous pressure on the skin. Lateral aspects of the ankles (Lateral malleoli) are frequently involved. We report a rare case of cutaneous horn developed on ankle callosity.

Two centrifuge tests on a quay wall and cantilevered retaining with saturated granular backfills were simulated using Finn-Byrne model. Capabilities of model in liquefaction analysis the evaluated. The subjected to horizontal acceleration time history vertical history. constitutive is linear elastic – perfectly plastic Hooke’s elasticity Mohr-coulomb criterion for yield surface assumed backfill...
