The long-term goal of this project is to understand and mitigate the uncertainties of shallow-water acoustic inversions caused by strong oceanic temporal and spatial variability. To achieve this goal, we need to investigate the connection between acoustic signal fluctuations and the water-column variability, and further incorporate this connection into the acoustic inversions for increasing the...

In order to study the bearing characteristic of geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) on composite foundation, a series field tests and numerical simulation were carried out foundations reinforced by traditional GESC. The pile–soil stress ratio, excess pore water pressure lateral displacement two kinds monitored. effects geotextile stiffness, wrapping length gravel internal friction angle fo...

This article evaluates and compares the punching shear behaviour of unbonded prestressed concrete (UPC) slab - concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) column connections/joints with that reinforced (RC) connection – CFT connections. The experimental program was carried out on five large-sized samples, including three UPC samples two RC samples. Steel plate details were utilised to increase bond betwee...

The ordinary (OSC) and geosynthetic-encased stone column (ESC) with different bearing strata significantly influenced its behavior. paper established seven models for studying the behavior of floating columns using finite difference method (FDM). effect geogrid length on load-settlement behavior, bulging deformation, failure mode, load transfer coefficient were also analyzed based proposal mode...

We provide test sets proportional to the sum of the two dimensions of the array for a large class of cells, which allow us to test rows (or columns) of cells of the array independently. Constant length test sets for array multipliers have been found under the single faulty cell model if the array is modiied and otherwise test sets are proportional to the number of cells. We can verify the full ...
