Natural formation of soil deposits causes heterogeneity and anisotropy in their strength and stiffness properties. However, most soils in their natural states exhibit some anisotropy with respect to shear strength and heterogeneity with respect to the depth. In this paper, the standard Mohr- Coulomb constitutive law is generalized to anisotropic version in order to consider the effect of cohesi...

Lack of knowledge on soil geotechnical properties can cause many problems in the construction and maintenance of irrigation and drainage networks. In general, all of unconventional soils such as gypsiferous soils can cause some problems to irrigation canals. Some studies have been conducted on a variety of problematic soils, but still there is a need for more research activities and field studi...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

هدف در این پایان نامه، پیش بینی ظرفیت باربری نهایی استاتیکی شمع های کوبیده شده با انتهای بسته، با استفاده از شبکه عصبی بوده است. همانطور که می دانیم معمولا استفاده از شبکه های عصبی در پیش بینی های ژئوتکنیکی در صورتی امکان پذیر است که، یک سری اطلاعات آزمایشگاهی موجود باشد. در اینجا، اطلاعات موجود، مربوط به دو آزمایش cpt و آزمون بارگذاری استاتیکی شمع می باشد. در واقع هر جا که شمع ساخته شده و مورد...
