The undrained shear strength of clay is an important index for the calculation bearing capacity foundation soil, soil pressure pit, and analysis slope stability. Therefore, purpose this paper to conduct a comprehensive study combined use machine learning with theoretical equations estimate it. Under Bayesian framework, CatBoost algorithm (CatBoost–Bayesian) based on optimization was developed o...

The addition of steel fibers into concrete improves the postcracking tensile strength of hardened concrete and hence significantly enhances the shear strength of reinforced concrete reinforced concrete beams. However, developing an accurate model for predicting the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams is a challenging task as there are several parameters such as the co...

introdouction: esthetic demands of patients have led to the introduction of tooth-colored restorations wherecomposite resins are bonded to the enamel using acid etch techniques. total etch adhesion systems are still considered as the gold standard among bonding systems. however, clinicians have a tendency to use adhesive systems with simpler application procedures. the aim of the present study ...

In this research in-plane shear Behavior of composite steel-concrete shear walls was investigated considering the Effects of steel plates thickness, spaces between shear studs, shape and type of shear studs and existing of minimum reinforcement in wall section. Several finite element models were analyzed and Numerical results of two models were taken under verification with existent experimenta...

due to the existence of fibrous materials such as plastic fragments, the strength anisotropy of municipal solid waste (msw) materials is the main source of differences between their mechanical response in direct shear and triaxial apparatus. as an extension of earlier research on the mechanical behavior of msw using a large traixail apparatus, results presented in shariatmadari et al. [1] and k...

The random material point method (RMPM), which combines random field theory and the material point method (MPM), is proposed. It differs from the random finite-element method (RFEM), by assigning random field (cell) values to material points that are free to move relative to the computational grid rather than to Gauss points in a conventional finite-element mesh. The importance of considering t...

The bearing capacity of a square footing on an unstabilised and geogrid-stabilised granular layer over clay is estimated using finite element techniques in ABAQUS (a commercial software). model incorporates range soil parameters thicknesses. two-layered system the assumes strong upper weak lower layer. parametric results analyses are used to develop design curves with dimensionless terms linear...
