This paper presents an analytical model for calculating the deformation behavior of an elastic, composite strut comprising any number of materials, which are represented by an assembly of concentric hollow cylinder. The model is applicable for pure axial compression for short struts provided elastic instability, if any, is assessed to be of negligible effect. For a typical constituent cylinder,...

Candida spp produce highly structured biofilms composed of multiple cells encased in an extracellular matrix. Sessile are known to decrease drug diffusion toward biological targets. This research is aimed at evaluating the biofilm eradication activity partially purified fraction ethylacetate extract Acalypha wilkesiana leaves on sessile C. albicans I, II and parapsilosis. Column Chromatography-...

Among all of the slope stability methods, use of stone columns and geosynthetic elements can be a good way for stabilizing. One of the efficient ways in order to reinforce earth slopes is Geogrid Encased Stone Column (GESC). This technique can dramatically increase bearing capacity and decrease settlement rate. The aim of this paper is experimentally to investigate a comparison between the beha...

Because of the smaller confinement neighbouring soil in very weak soils, carrying capacity stone columns may not substantially increase. Geosynthetics can be used to reinforce by employing vertical encasement or horizontal layers. In present study, large-scale laboratory investigations were carried out evaluate efficacy and layering geosynthetics on performance behaviour soft clay. A series tes...
