Retaining walls are geostructures providing permanent lateral support to vertical slopes of soil, and it is essential analyze the failure probability such a structure. To keep importance geotechnics on par with advancement in technology, implementation artificial intelligence techniques done for reliability analysis Designing structure based leads an economical design. Machine learning models u...

Abstract The highway section on the D3 Hričovské Podhradie – Žilina Strážov was carried out left branch of body overpass and right embankment body. stability ensured by a geosynthetics reinforced retaining wall. wall assembled from concrete prefabs, which uniaxial geogrids were attached. article presents numerical analysis deformations this structure in profile monitored geotechnical monitoring...

High transportation demand has led to widening of existing roadways to improve traffic flow. In some cases, the space available on site is limited and the construction of earth retaining walls is done in front of previously stabilized walls. This can lead to retaining wall designs that are narrower than those addressed in current design guidelines. Narrow walls are Mechanically Stabilized Earth...

Botryococcus braunii is a colonial green alga whose cells associate via a complex extracellular matrix (ECM) and produce prodigious amounts of liquid hydrocarbons that can be readily converted into conventional combustion engine fuels. We used quick-freeze deep-etch electron microscopy and biochemical/histochemical analysis to elucidate many new features of B. braunii cell/colony organization a...
