In order to mobilize shallow soil to participate in the interaction of piled raft foundation sufficiently, the concept of piled raft has been modified to new type of foundation named composite piled raft. In the system of composite piled raft, the short piles made of flexible materials is used to strengthen the shallow soft soil, while the long piles made of relatively rigid materials is used t...

Industrialization and urbanization have run into situations where the construction of buildings is close to each other. This closeness arises due restricted available space in a practical manner. Such situation was reason for cause footing same adjacent structures coming closer. condition causes interference effects, soil-structure interaction, stress zone impact behave differently other than c...

The traditional design method for narrow foundation pits ignores size effects. Engineering practice shows that this is too conservative and causes large-scale waste. In study, with the help of ABAQUS finite element software, retaining-structure models in semi-infinite infinite elastic space are used to simulate mechanical performances pile-supported structures under different combinations excav...

in this study, thermo-mechanical nonlinear vibration of a polyethylene (pe) cylindrical shell embedded in an elastic foundation was investigated. the shell is reinforced by armchair carbon nanotubes (cnts) where characteristics of the equivalent composite being determined using mori-tanaka model. the elastic medium is simulated using the spring constant of the winkler-type,  . employing nonline...
