To clarify behavior and sliding resistance of a spread foundation under combined load, static vertical loading test, lateral tests were conducted on sand. The the load was caused by soil failure beneath foundation. After peak resistance, settlement horizontal displacement increased although did not increase. When is less than about 1/2 ultimate bearing capacity, could be retained greater settle...

Lightweight steel framing is a method in housing and construction that have been widely used in lightweight steel construction. In this method, the structure is built by cold formed steel elements. They are cost-effective, light, and easy to assemble. However, the performance of lateral load resisting systems in cold-formed steel structures specially the behavior of cold-formed steel shear wall...

Introduction Designing a structure like a portal frame of an industrial low-rise building is an iterative optimisation process. In today's design practice, the designing engineer takes from codes or standards the design values for the external loads, for instance the wind load distribution and the appropriate value of the wind velocity pressure. Depending on the climate at the building site, a ...

PURPOSE The use of graft tissue fixation using bioabsorbable interference screws (BISs) in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction offers various advantages, but limited pullout strength. Therefore, additional tibial fixation is essential for aggressive rehabilitation. We hypothesized that additional graft tissue fixation using bioabsorbable suture anchors (BSA) would provide sufficient...

in shallow foundations, the third bearing capacity factor, n, has been found to show a decreasing tendency with increasing the foundation size. it is supported by experimental observations and related mainly to stress level dependent nature of the soil. on the other hand, the bearing capacity is often obtained theoretically without consideration of the foundation vertical displacements. in thi...

in this paper a performance analysis is presented for a cable-suspended parallel manipulator. experimental results from some first tests are presented and discussed to validate the theoretical calculation of load carrying capacity. the load-carrying capacity during a given trajectory is obtained. this computational technique is tested on a typical planar cable suspended manipulator. the experim...

this paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (dlcc) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. in previously proposed methods in the literature of dlcc calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...

The lowering of the groundwater table causes the area above the water table to become unsaturated and capillary phenomena to appear in this zone. This means that the bearing capacity of shallow footings will be influenced by capillary stress or matric suction. In this research, the effect of groundwater table lowering on the bearing capacity of a shallow square model footing on dense sand has b...

The system of steel shear wall is an initiative resistance system against the lateral load such as an earthquake and the wind that has been researched in the last three decades. Currently, this system is noticed more than other systems because of adequate stiffness, ductility, and more energy absorption. The system of steel shear wall with corrugated sheets has been offered as an innovative sys...

the support vector machine (svm) is a relatively new machine learning method which is increasingly being applied to engineering problems and have yielded encouraging results. because of complex behavior of elastoplastic of web panels of plate girders under patch loading, almost none of the proposed methods provides consistent and accurate predictions of patch load capacity. consequently, altern...
