In order to improve the bearing capacity of soft ground for the purpose of getting trafficability of construction vehicles, the reinforcement of geosynthetics for sand-mat layers on soft ground has often been used. As the strength of the geosynthetics increases, and the sand-mat system becomes stronger, the bearing capacity of sand-mat systems will be increased. The depths of geosynthetics, rei...

Abstract Proppant embedment is a serious issue that reduces fracture width and conductivity. The paper presents the results of experiments on phenomena shale rock from region Baltic Basin, which regarded as an unconventional gas deposit. A novel laboratory imaging procedure was implemented to proppant visualization. tests were performed for conditions corresponding average reservoir occurring i...

Offshore pipelines are occasionally exposed to scouring processes; detrimental impacts on their safety inevitable. The process of propagation around offshore is naturally complex and mainly due currents and/or waves. There a considerable demand for the safe design phenomena. Therefore, patterns must be focused on. In present research, machine learning (ML) models applied achieve equations predi...

Ring footings are widely used as a foundation for water tanks, television antennas, silos, chimneys, oil storage etc. This paper is conducted to study the ring footing model's experimental cyclic behavior and circular resting on sandy soil reinforced with geocell. A group of ninety-six test models has been tested investigate shallow footings' beneath loading various rates. Four shapes sand thre...

Abstract Riverbed deformation caused by river-crossing bridge construction can be divided into compression scour and local scour. Compared with scour, fewer studies have been made on the piers. It is noteworthy that, lead to riverbed of whole cross section along a site, which obviously detrimental foundation safety. Based summary existing research findings, prediction model for piers constructe...

This paper describes a finite element study of the uplift behaviour plane strain pipe segment embedded in modified Cam clay soil. The primary aim this is to explore role rate effects on capacity and transition between drained undrained using coupled-consolidation analyses. velocities considered modelling cover six orders magnitude allowing rigorous assessment effect loading rate. embedment dept...

Reading fiction is a major component of intellectual life, yet it has proven difficult to study experimentally. One aspect of literature that has recently come to light is perspective embedding ("she thought I left" embedding her perspective on "I left"), which seems to be a defining feature of fiction. Previous work (Whalen et al., 2012) has shown that increasing levels of embedment affects th...

CASE REPORT This is a case report of diagnosis and management of a foreign body embedded in the gingivae of a preschool child. A 3 year-old girl presented with pain, mobility and intraoral oedema of the upper left primary canine (#63). An angular, diffuse radiolucency on the mesial aspect of the primary canine was observed in the periapical radiograph and within this radiolucency, a linear radi...

To investigate the detailed distributions of microtubules in cultured cells and intact tissues we developed a reversible embedment method for antibody labeling of sectioned material. Fixed tissues were infiltrated with fully polymerized polymethylmethacrylate dissolved in an organic solvent. Evaporation of the solvent left the tissue embedded in hard plastic. After sectioning by conventional me...

The application of self-tapping screws as reinforcement on glulam connections has been proven effective. However, the implication different thread configurations effectiveness remains unknown. This paper conducted experiments using with various in embedment-strength tests and tensile connection tests. Results show that one third achieved similar improvement embedment strength mechanical propert...
