The use of cost-effective construction design approaches is an emerging concept in the field sustainable environments. foundation for any infrastructure-related building entails three basic requirements, i.e., serviceability limit state (SLS), ultimate (ULS), and economics. Engineering economy coupled with safety are two main essentials a successful project. conventional based on hit trial meth...

The drainage system elements, namely, the canals, lose their initial design characteristics over time. In general, canals with unstable profiles are often in reclamation construction. problems of are, primarily, related to physical and mechanical properties soils, formation internal mechanical, as well chemical biological processes occurring by action natural conditions. Maximum stability is ch...

Three-dimensional (3D) limit analysis of stability of slopes is presented. Such analyses are not common because of the difficulties in constructing three-dimensional mechanisms of failure in frictional soils. While examples of 3D translational failure patterns are known, no admissible rotational mechanisms for frictional soils have been described in the literature. A class of admissible rotatio...

This report presents the results of author's research on dilution water-saturated cohesive soils in conditions concussions. The nature weakening soil connectivity during vibration and dynamic pressure that occurs thickness compaction disturbed structures, which contribute to liquefaction spreading from body structure, is described. criterion possibility violation structure concussions given.
