The Minaret of Dhu Al-Kifil Nabi (PBUH), located in the city Kifil with a height about 25 meters, is one historical monuments Iraq. 4.5 degree deviation this has become challenge for authorities recent years. Various reasons, such as old age building and manipulation soil minaret bed, damage structure have caused it to deviate from vertical direction form cracks at its height. A temporary metal...

The use of micropiles has been increasing in recent years, mostly for horizontally loaded cases. Given the little information about this foundation type under lateral top-loading, especially high-porosity and collapsible soils, a total four transversal loading tests were carried out new post-grouted micropile configuration with length 17 m diameter 0.3 m, two natural soil moisture conditions fl...

Ascorbic acid (AA) loaded self-dissolving micropiles (SDMP) were prepared using chondroitin sulfate as the base for the percutaneous administration of AA. AA solution was added to dense solution of chondroitin solution, glue, and array tip, 1.0 cm(2), containing 100 SDMPs of which length was 500 microm and basal diameter was 300 microm, were prepared. Two kinds of AA array tips containing 1344....

The interaction mechanism between micropiles and soil landslides is comprehensively investigated through static model tests numerical simulations. results show that the deformation damage mode of mainly bending shear damage. Because deformation, cracks appear at rear front pile, respectively, about three times pile diameter from sliding surface. In addition, plastic becomes more severe when app...
