in this paper, the nonlinear conjugate map based on the conjugate hasofer-lind and rackwitz- fiessler (chl-rf) method is applied to evaluate the reliability index using first order reliability method of the embedded noanocompsite beam, which is made from polymer reinforced with carbon nanotubs (cnts). the structure is simulated with timoshenko beam model. the mori-tanaka model is applied for ca...

The tangent modulus method of undisturbed soil is a new in settlement calculation, which mainly applied to hard with strong structure, such as silty clay, completely weathered rock, and granite residual an SPT blow count greater than 8. obtained from field plate load test, can consider the influence stress level reflect nonlinear characteristics foundation settlement. In multi-layer foundation,...
