When constructing flood protection structures such as river levees, oftentimes due to various factors engineers must design composite structures, i.e., reinforced earthen which comply with all the stability criteria. The most common way of reinforcing is usage geosynthetics, or mostly geogrids when talking about stability. Since geosynthetics are man-made materials produced in a controlled envi...

Laser materials processing with ultra-short pulses allows very precise and high quality results with a minimum extent of the thermally affected zone. However, with increasing average laser power and repetition rates the so-called heat accumulation effect becomes a considerable issue. The following discussion presents a comprehensive analytical treatment of multi-pulse processing and reveals the...

Path loss modeling for both regular and irregular terrains is still gaining significant attention from researchers. A sloped terrain is one specific kind of an irregular terrain that—as far as we are aware—has not been completely studied. Although some results have been published for slope path loss modeling in cellular communication, an adequate model for the case when the transmitter (Tx) and...

Geosynthetics are widely used in earth retaining structures such as steep slope and wall. The stability of the depends on interaction between geosynthetics soil at reinforced area known reinforcement mechanism. mechanism structure usually difficult to be analysed thoroughly. It is because preliminary study pull-out resistance durability material not taking into account before it has been site l...
