Abstract: Large quantities of coal ashes are being produced by coal fired thermal power plants all over the world. Because of some of their inherent properties, the coal ashes are proving to be potential hazardous materials causing ...

Abstract: For the prediction of response of footings subjected to horizontal vibration, different types of contact shear distributions and displacement conditions are to be considered. Solutions using elastic half-space theory are ...

Abstract: The performance of reinforced earth structures depends on the mobilization of interfacial shearing resistance between soil and reinforcement. This criterion typically eliminates the use of fine‐grained soil as a backfill ...

Abstract: Mercury is one of the many hazardous substances that has been recognized and banned by many natural codes of practice and governments. Because many laboratory works in research and practice require the use of mercury, safe ...

Abstract: One of the most important dynamic properties required in the design of machine foundations is the stiffness or spring constant of the supporting soil. For a layered soil system, the stiffness obtained from an idealization ...
