A finite element program based on elastic –plastic model of Mohr-Coulomb criterion was used to evaluate the bearing capacity coefficients of soil under shallow strip flexible footing . The results were compared with others’ analytical results and it was found that the present study could offer quite consistent and rather precise values for the bearing capacity coefficients . &#10&#10The effect ...

Reinforced concrete (RC) hollow cylindrical members were numerically investigated to understand the impact of radiation-induced volume expansion aggregates on seismic performance member. The rigid body spring network model was used in this analysis, and proposed constitutive laws parameters validated by comparing two horizontal loading experiments for RC members: a reference experiment one whic...

Abstract : The effect of a bond failure and its extent is studied on stress concentration in long fibers as well as stress distribution in short fibers and their surrounding matrix bays. The material is assumed to be a finite width hybrid composite lamina which is subjected to a tensile load of magnitude "P" at infinity. The surrounding matrix is assumed to take only shear (shear-lag theory). T...

This paper reports findings of experiments aiming to (1) compare the load tolerant ability over different regions of stumps of lower limb amputees, (2) study the effect of walking on the load tolerant ability, and (3) examine the distal-end weight-bearing ability supported by different interface materials. The method was to apply increasing load to the stump up to the pain level through a force...

Along with other advanced geotechnical technologies for the exploration of underground space, electro-discharge technology (EDT technology) is one fundamental in field construction auger-injection microcircuits, as well transformation properties foundation soils weak physical and mechanical characteristics. At same time, having significant differences compared to methods subsurface development ...

The main factors affecting the load-bearing capacity of new and damaged stone structures are given. One most common types damage to buildings is their cracking. According statistics, frequent reasons for formation cracks in are: uneven settlement foundations, load on structures, temperature deformations, moisture deformations. walls depends compressive strength bricks mortar, but it difficult m...
