This article presents the evaluation of a valence dictionary for Polish produced with the help of shallow parsing techniques and compares those results to earlier results involving deep parsing. We show that the valence dictionary obtained with the use of shallow parsing attains higher quality when it is measured on the basis of a corpus of valence frames, while the dictionary produced with the...

A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY exists regarding the effectiveness of safety incentive programs in construction. Most research on incentives involves case studies and theoretical analyses of their advantages and disadvantages. Using primary survey data from construction firms and craftworkers, this article examines the impact of incentives on the safety performance of U.S. construction firms. The s...

post failure analysis of massive structure infers that soil-structure interaction (ssi) is a crucial phenomena influencing seismic response of massive structures. cable-stayed bridge’s popularity and numbers are increasing now-a-days because of economical longer span & aesthetic good look. the current paper examines the effect of depth of foundation on seismic response of cable-stayed bridg...

Classical bearing capacity theory was developed mainly based on spatially uniform soil properties, which cannot account for the influence of inherent variability. If strength is heterogeneous, then using average may overestimate foundations, because failure mechanism preferentially mobilise weaker soils. In this study aim to establish a theoretical model upper-bound solutions applied analysis s...

A number of recent functional imaging studies have identified brain areas activated during tasks involving episodic memory retrieval. The identification of such areas provides a foundation for targeted hypotheses regarding the more specific contributions that these areas make to episodic retrieval. As a beginning effort toward such an endeavor, whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging ...

Since concrete is cheaper and more resistant to corrosion than steel, the wide-shallow bucket foundation being used extensively in ocean engineering. By adding inner cruciform skirts, both bearing capacity rigidity of increase significantly. When compared hollow steel foundation, inclusion thicker as well addition would cause changes soil flow mechanism, resulting heave within each compartment ...

With the continuous development of traffic construction, road engineering inevitably crosses aeolian sand river valley area. Compared with general sandy soil and silty soil, cohesionless foundation has similar properties fluid higher liquefaction potential. Precast cement pile can greatly improve vertical bearing capacity foundation, but this paper finds that it also antiliquefaction effect whe...

We present the results of a large-scale experimental campaign performed on prototype structure EuroProteas in Thessaloniki, Greece, to assess effectiveness gravel-rubber mixture (GRM) layers underneath shallow foundations as means geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI). found that GSI structures is optimized by increasing rubber content soil-rubber up 30% per weight. The systems has been investig...

The three-dimensional finite difference method was used in this study to analyze the deformation and stresses of a passive pile under surcharge load extensively deep soft soil. A numerical model proposed verified by field test. horizontal displacements agreed well with results. This investigated pile-foundation soil interaction, transfer mechanism, excess pore water pressure (EPWP), resistance ...
