This talk is meant as a wake-up call ... The foundation of the database field is, of course, the relational model. Sad to say, however, there are some in the database community—certainly in industry, and to some extent in academia also—who do not seem to be as familiar with that model as they ought to be; there are others who seem to think it is not very interesting or relevant to the day-today...

Numerous techniques have been presented by different researchers to analyze piled raft. In order to analyze pile foundation, soil can be modeled as spring, continuous medium, or porous media. Pile can also be modeled as spring or continuous medium. This study includes three main stages: a short description of different types of analysis methods of pile foundation, writing a computer program bas...

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) regulates financial accounting. FASB issues two kinds of accounting pronouncements. The first kind are Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts (SFACs). They are the theoretical foundation for the regulations which are promulgated in the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFASs). FASB‟s theoretical statements are based on unstated ph...

In this paper, transverse vibrations of thin circular plates with guided edge and resting on Winkler foundation have been studied on the basis of Classical Plate Theory. Parametric investigations on the vibration of circular plates resting on elastic foundation have been carried out with respect to various foundation stiffness parameters. Twelve vibration modes are presented. The location of th...

First, we prove the function g is an injection (i.e., g is one-to-one). We need to prove that if g(m) = g(n) --(1), where m and n are two integers, then m = n --(2). Since g(m) (and also g(n)) can be defined by two different formulas depending whether the argument m (and n) is even or odd, we consider the following 3 cases: (Case 1) Both m and n are even. In this case, (1) implies 1 – m = 1 – n...

The introduction of Eurocode in Kazakhstan allows for the application modern technological innovations and elimination technical barriers realization international projects. It is significant to study standards design requirements provided Eurocode. This presents a comparative analysis Kazakhstani European approaches geotechnical foundations provides methods considered codes practice. Three dif...

Because of difficulty in inspection and retrofit of foundation in comparison with other elements, the common design philosophy is to avoid any nonlinear deformation in the foundation. This paper shows that by employing controlled foundation nonlinearity, in predetermined sections with arrangements for inspection and retrofit, it is possible to reduce seismic demand on superstructure. Localizing...
