When underground space requires excavation in areas below the water table, foundation system suffers from buoyancy, which leads to uplifting of superstructure. A deep can be used; however, cases where a hard layer is encountered, high driving forces and corresponding noises cause civil complaints urban areas. Micropiles an effective alternative option, due their performance despite short instal...

Grouting is a common method of reinforcing fractured rock mass. The mechanical property grouted major aspect the reinforcement effect, which depends on geometry crack, angle (β) between load direction and other factors. Few studies have focused with bi-directional crack can reflect well grouting in stratum developed fractures. To explore effect mass, uniaxial compression tests were carried out ...

objective(s): fasting during the month of ramadan is a religious obligation and belief for healthy adult muslims. the aim of the present study was to determine the effects of ramadan fasting and physical activity on ‘blood hematological-biochemical parameters’.   materials and methods: in this study, twenty-six healthy males in two experimental groups were compared in two different instances be...

In order to study the local deformation of an anchor bolt and improvement in shear strength a structural surface under misalignment anchorage structure surface, FLAC3D software was used simulate granite, sandstone, coal specimens with angles 90° analyze damage anchoring agent changes axial forces bolts surface. The results show that near had significant characteristics surface; is, length area ...

abstract: Although structures have been built from masonry for many years, little is still known about the behaviour of a wall subject to in-plane shear. This particularly true partially grouted concrete masonry. The factors that are affect strength this type discussed with varying results and interpretations highlighted. There consensus increasing axial stress increases shear reduces ductility...
