This paper presents a numerical analysis of the seismic behaviour of earth dams. Analysis is conducted for the solid phase. It may correspond to the response of the dam before water filling. Analysis is conducted for a simple case which concerns the elastic response of the dam. Numerical analyses are conducted using the FLAC3D program. The behaviour of the Shell and core of the dam and the foun...

Assessment of vasomotor tone is essential in defining appropriate resuscitation strategies for the hypotensive patient. Although changes in mean arterial pressure to cardiac output define arterial resistance, resistance is only one component of vasomotor tone. Compliance is the other component. The reciprocal of compliance is arterial elastance (Ea). Importantly, dynamic Ea can be estimated by ...

In this study, to explore the microstructure deformation mechanism of marine soft soil under cyclic loading, we analyzed dynamic properties loading via consolidation compression testing. Then, using Image-Pro Plus (IPP) 6.0 image analysis software, and according test results images from a scanning electron microscope (SEM), determined weakening effect soils different confining pressures, stress...
