this paper describes a series of laboratory model tests on strip footings supported on unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced sand with an inside void. the footing is subjected to a combination of static and cyclic loading. the influence of various parameters including the embedment depth of the void, the number of reinforcement layers, and the amplitude of cyclic load were studied. the results sh...

We study the spectroscopic properties of a sample of 10 void galaxies identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and compare these with the properties of galaxies in higher density regions (wall galaxies). This sample of void galaxies covers the range of absolute magnitude from Mr 1⁄4 13:5 to Mr 1⁄4 22:5 in regions with density contrast / < 0:6. We compare the equivalent widths of H , [O...

Pervious concrete is a green alternative to conventional pavements with minimal fine aggregate and a high void content. Pervious concrete allows water to infiltrate through the pavement, thereby reducing the runoff and the requirement for stormwater management systems. Seashell By-Products (SBP) are produced in an important quantity in France and are considered as waste. This work investigated ...

Voids have a substantial impact on the mechanical properties of composite laminates and can lead to premature failure parts. Optical microscopy is commonly employed imaging technique assess void content parts, as it reliable less expensive than alternative options. Usually, image thresholding techniques are used parse acquired images automatically; however, these very sensitive acquisition cond...
