The shallow foundations that often characterizes multi-span masonry arch bridges are highly vulnerable to the soil settlements typically induced by riverbed scouring. Consequently, monitoring of scouring effects is paramount importance ensure safe operation these river bridges. Within a recent collaboration between Politecnico di Milano and Regione Lombardia, bridge has been selected exemplify ...

background: entry of untreated wastewater of wool scouring factories has been associated with many environmental hazards because of high rate of pollution. presently effective treatment methods and reducing the costs of operation and maintenance from treatment units have always been under the attention of this industry owners. the aim of this survey is to present a suitable method for the treat...

This study developed a discrete element simulation model based on the 2D particle flow code (PFC ), of which mesoscopic parameters were calibrated by indoor experiments, to investigate rainfall erosion damage residual soil slope in intermittently frozen area. It is be noted that runoff scouring action was simulated according equivalent method, particles given initial velocity, and water absorpt...
