Abstract: In this paper, governing ordinary differential equations are derived for a reinforced Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation. An analytical solution is obtained for a point load on an infinite Timoshenko beam on elastic ...

Abstract: In this paper, a number of fundamental concepts are presented and explained. These include (1) differences among an instant compression line, a normal consolidation line, and a true instant compression line; (2) the ...

Abstract: This paper suggests a method for obtaining closed-form solutions for a reinforced Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation subjected to any pressure loading. A particular solution is obtained for uniform pressure loading ...

Abstract: Before the eastward-propagating rainy envelope of a Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) arrives at the Maritime Continent (MC), some islands in the MC experience dipolar patterns of rainfall variability with opposite signs of ...

Abstract: High-resolution observations and regional climate model simulations reveal that precipitation over the Maritime Continent is mostly concentrated over islands. Analysis of the diurnal cycles of precipitation and winds ...

Abstract: Variable compressibility must be considered in settlement calculation of soft soil stratums, especially for thick soil layers. This study proposes a new simplified method to calculate the settlement of a thick soil layer ...

Abstract: Temperature significantly affects the mechanical properties of geomaterials, particularly the creep behavior of soft clayey soils. Thus, an appropriate constitutive model to describe the time-dependent stress-strain behavior ...

Abstract: The stress-strain behavior of clayey soil is time dependent. Laboratory study and constitutive modeling of the time-dependent stress-strain behavior are needed to understand the soil behavior and analyze displacements of ...
